YgfY Contributes to Stress Tolerance in <i>Shewanella oneidensis</i> Neither as an Antitoxin Nor as a Flavinylation Factor of Succinate Dehydrogenase
YgfY(SdhE/CptB) is highly conserved while has controversial functions in bacteria. It works as an antitoxin and composes a type IV toxin–antitoxin system with YgfX(CptA) typically in <i>Escherichia coli</i>, while functions as an flavinylation factor of succinate dehydrogenase and fumara...
