pfam09907: HigB_toxin (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
HigB_toxin, RelE-like toxic component of a toxin-antitoxin system
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.
