hokD

Gene

Protein
Protein HokD
Organism
Escherichia coli O157:H7
Length
51 amino acids
Function
Toxic component of a type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) system (By similarity). When overexpressed kills cells within minutes; causes collapse of the transmembrane potential and arrest of respiration (By similarity). Its toxic effect is probably neutralized by an antisense antitoxin Sok RNA (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the Hok/Gef family.
Mass
5.737 kDa
