毒素-抗毒素(TA)系统是通过分离后杀死细菌宿主来影响质粒稳定的独特模块。编码TA系统的基因也存在于细菌染色体上,推测它们参与各种细胞过程。在过去的五年中,随着细菌基因组上TA基因的普遍存在性被揭示,对TA系统的兴趣急剧增加。已经提出了通过人工激活毒素来开发TA系统作为抗菌策略,并且具有相当大的潜力;然而,在这一领域的努力仍然处于早期阶段,并且仍然存在几个主要问题。这篇综述将探讨靶向TA系统杀死细菌的易处理性,包括成功的基本要求,最新进展,以及与人工毒素激活相关的挑战。
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are unique modules that effect plasmid stabilization via post-segregational killing of the bacterial host. The genes encoding TA systems also exist on bacterial chromosomes, where they are speculated to be involved in a variety of cellular processes. Interest in TA systems has increased dramatically over the past five years as the ubiquitous nature of TA genes on bacterial genomes has been revealed. The exploitation of TA systems as an antibacterial strategy via artificial activation of the toxin has been proposed and has considerable potential; however, efforts in this area remain in the early stages, and several major questions remain. This review will investigate the tractability of targeting TA systems to kill bacteria, including fundamental requirements for success, recent advances, and challenges associated with artificial toxin activation.
