Project description:Conjugative plasmids, major vehicles for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes, often contain multiple toxin‒antitoxin (TA) systems. However, the physiological functions of TA systems remain obscure. By studying TA families commonly found on colistin-resistant IncI2 mcr-1-bearing plasmids, we discovered that the HicAB TA, acts as a crucial addiction module to increase horizontal plasmid‒plasmid competition.
Project description:We performed a transcription factor (TF) ChIP-seq in human embryonal palatal mesenchyme (HEPM; HEPM ATCC ® CRL-1486™) cells with a polyclonal anitbody against TFAP2A ((ab52222, abcam®, Great Britain) in two replicates.
