Abstract:Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread among prokaryotes and can play an important role in the maintenance of genetic elements and pathogen virulence. Their roles in bacterial stress response and antimicrobial persistence currently remain highly controversial. The current study investigated a novel TA system (Aave_1720-Aave_1719) from the phytopathogenic bacterium
Acidovorax citrulli
, which had characteristics of both type II and type V TA systems. Heterologous expression in
