CdiA-CT toxin from Burkholderia pseudomallei E479 in complex with cognate CdiI immunity protein
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionCDIA9_BURPE Toxic component of a toxin-immunity protein module, which functions as a cellular contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) system. CDI modules allow bacteria to communicate with and inhibit the growth of closely related neighboring bacteria in a contact-dependent fashion. The C-terminal 160 residues (CT domain) acts as a general tRNA nuclease, and inhibits growth in E.coli. Cleaves specifically within the T-loop of E.coli tRNA2(Arg). Toxic activity is neutralized by coexpression of the cognate immunity protein CdiI in E.coli, but not by non-cognate immunity proteins from other strains of B.pseudomallei.[1] References
