hokF

Gene
hokF
Protein
Putative protein HokF
Organism
Escherichia coli O157:H7
Length
50 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
