Stage II sporulation protein SA

UniProtKB accession:  O34853

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Its toxic activity is neutralized by cognate antitoxin SpoIISB. Expression in the absence of SpoIISB permits sporulation to stage II, when plasmolysis zones and holes in the peptidoglycan layer are observed, resulting in cell death. Lethal when synthesized during vegetative growth in the absence of SpoIISB. In E.coli both the membrane bound and soluble domain are required in cis for toxin activity.
