== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HIGA_PROVU HIGA_PROVU] Antitoxin component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system that counteracts the effect of the HigB toxin (PubMed:19423702, PubMed:8645296, PubMed:24257752). Binds to its own promoter and regulates transcription of the higB/higA operon (PubMed:24257752).<ref>PMID:19423702</ref> <ref>PMID:24257752</ref> <ref>PMID:8645296</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems are important factors implicated in growth inhibition and plasmid maintenance. Type II toxin-antitoxin pairs are regulated at the transcriptional level by the antitoxin itself. Here, we examined how the HigA antitoxin regulates the expression of the Proteus vulgaris higBA toxin-antitoxin operon from the Rts1 plasmid. The HigBA complex adopts a unique architecture suggesting differences in its regulation as compared to classical type II toxin-antitoxin systems. We find that the C-terminus of the HigA antitoxin is required for dimerization and transcriptional repression. Further, the HigA structure reveals that the C terminus is ordered and does not transition between disorder-order states upon toxin binding. HigA residue Arg40 recognizes a TpG dinucleotide in higO2, an evolutionary conserved mode of recognition among prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcriptional factors. Comparison of the HigBA and HigA-higO2 structures reveals the distance between helix-turn-helix motifs of each HigA monomer increases by ~4 A in order to bind to higO2. Consistent with these data, HigBA binding to each operator is two-fold less tight than HigA alone. Together, these data show the HigB toxin does not act as a co-repressor suggesting potential novel regulation in this toxin-antitoxin system. This article is protected by copyright.
