type II toxin-antitoxin system HigB family toxin
HigB_toxin is a family of RelE-like prokaryotic proteins that function as mRNA interferases. HigB cleaves translated mRNA only, and cleavage depended on translation of the target RNAs. HigB belongs to the RelE super-family of RNases. The toxin-antitoxin gene-pair is induced by environmental stress factors. [1]. 19943910. Three new RelE-homologous mRNA interferases of Escherichia coli differentially induced by environmental stresses. Christensen-Dalsgaard M, Jorgensen MG, Gerdes K;. Mol Microbiol. 2010;75:333-348.

type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system HigB family toxin similar to Escherichia coli mRNA interferase HigB, the toxin component of the HigB-HigA TA system; induced by amino acid starvation
