Regulatory Relationships from Systems Biology
  • BioCyc

    Gene interactions based on ChIPSeq and Transcription Factor Over-Expression (TFOE) (Systems Biology)

    NOTE: Green edges represent the connected genes being classified as differentially essential as a result of the middle gene being knocked out. These interactions are inferred based on RNASeq.

We report the heterologous toxicity of these TA loci in Escherichia coli and show that only a few of the M. tuberculosis-encoded toxins can inhibit E. coli growth and have a killing effect. This killing effect can be suppressed by coexpression of the cognate antitoxin.
