ccdB

It is a component of the CcdA/CcdB Type II Toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. It encodes the CcdB poison, which is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation. In absence of the antitoxin, the CcdB poison traps DNA-gyrase cleavable complexes, inducing breaks into DNA and cell death. As a model system, by ensuring an antidote-toxin ratio greater than one, this mechanism might prevent the harmful effect of CcdB in plasmid-containing bacteria. The CcdA-CcdB toxin-antitoxin system we used is a killing switch that is relatively nontoxic to human and other mammalian cells.
