axe-txe操纵子编码一个毒素-抗毒素(TA)对,axe-txe最初是在屎肠球菌的多药耐药质粒pRUM上发现的。在大肠杆菌中,已知Txe毒素的表达可抑制细胞生长,而抗毒素Axe的共同表达可抵消Txe的毒性作用。在这里,我们报道了从万古霉素耐药耳鼻喉科分离的一个39 kb的多药耐药质粒pS177的核苷酸序列。粪,其中含有轴- txe操纵子和vanA基因簇。RT-PCR分析显示,axe-txe转录物是由菌株S177以及其他耐万古霉素肠球菌产生的。此外,我们确定了Txe蛋白发挥其毒性活性的机制。Txe抑制大肠杆菌中的蛋白质合成,但不影响DNA或RNA的合成,并抑制无细胞系统中的蛋白质合成。通过体内引物延伸分析,我们证明了Txe优先在AUG起始密码子后的第一个碱基切割单链mRNA。我们得出结论,Txe是一种核糖核酸内酶,它可以切割mRNA并抑制蛋白质合成。
The axe–txe operon encodes a toxin–antitoxin (TA) pair, Axe–Txe, that was initially identified on the multidrug-resistance plasmid pRUM in Enterococcus faecium. In Escherichia coli, expression of the Txe toxin is known to inhibit cell growth, and co-expression of the antitoxin, Axe, counteracts the toxic effect of Txe. Here, we report the nucleotide sequence of pS177, a 39 kb multidrug-resistant plasmid isolated from vancomycin-resistant Ent. faecium, which harbours the axe–txe operon and the vanA gene cluster. RT-PCR analysis revealed that the axe–txe transcript is produced by strain S177 as well as by other vancomycin-resistant enteroccoci. Moreover, we determine the mechanism by which the Txe protein exerts its toxic activity. Txe inhibits protein synthesis in E. coli without affecting DNA or RNA synthesis, and inhibits protein synthesis in a cell-free system. Using in vivo primer extension analysis, we demonstrate that Txe preferentially cleaves single-stranded mRNA at the first base after an AUG start codon. We conclude that Txe is an endoribonuclease which cleaves mRNA and inhibits protein synthesis.
