Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are a large group of small genetic modules found in prokaryotes and their mobile elements. Type II TAs encoded as bicistronic (two-gene) operons that encode two proteins: toxin neutralizing antitoxin. Using our tool NetFlax (standing for Network-FlaGs toxins antitoxins), we have performed large-scale bioinformatic analysis proteinaceous TAs, revealing interconnected clusters constituting core network TA-like gene pairs. To understand the structural basis...
