UniProtKB description:  Antitoxin component of a type VII toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Upon overexpression in situ or in E.coli neutralizes the effect of cognate toxin HepT (PubMed:26112399, PubMed:29555683, PubMed:33045733). Neutralization is mostly due to tri-AMPylation of toxin by this enzyme. Successively tri-AMPylates HepT on 'Tyr-104' (PubMed:33045733). Binds its own promoter, probably repressing its expression. The TA system confers plasmid stability in E.coli (PubMed:26112399).
