[HTML][HTML] The bacterial toxin RelE displays codon-specific cleavage of mRNAs in the ribosomal A site

K Pedersen, AV Zavialov, MY Pavlov, J Elf, K Gerdes… - Cell, 2003 - cell.com
The Escherichia coli relBE operon encodes a toxin-antitoxin pair, RelE-RelB. RelB can
reverse inhibition of protein synthesis by RelE in vivo. We have found that although RelE …
