A Toxin Involved in <italic toggle="yes">Salmonella</italic> Persistence Regulates Its Activity by Acetylating Its Cognate Antitoxin, a Modification Reversed by CobB Sirtuin Deacetylase

ABSTRACT Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems trigger the onset of a persister state by inhibiting essential cellular processes. The TacT toxin of Salmonella enterica is known to induce a persister state in macrophages through the acetylation of aminoacyl-tRNAs. Here, we show that the TacT toxin and th...
