Structural highlights
FunctionFITB_NEIG1 Toxic component of a toxin-antitoxin (TA) module. Plays a role in the speed with which bacteria traverse human epithelial cells; disruption of the locus increases the speed of trafficking about 2-4-fold. FitAB binds to its own promoter better than FitA alone. The expected nuclease activity was not observed for the FitAB complex, perhaps because FitA (the antitoxin) prevents metal binding and thus catalysis by FitB.
