Powering down the Pfam website
On October 5th, we began redirecting traffic from Pfam (pfam.xfam.org) to InterPro (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro). The Pfam website will remain available at pfam-legacy.xfam.org until January 2023, when it will be decommissioned. You can read more about the sunset period in our blog post.

Clan: Plasmid-antitox (CL0136)

Summary

Plasmid toxin-antitoxin system Add an annotation

The families in this clan are plasmid encoded anti-toxins involved in plasmid maintenance. The plasmid encodes both a toxin and an antitoxin. Upon loss of the plasmid the antitoxin is inactivated more rapidly than the toxin. This allows the toxin to interact with its target thus killing the cell or impeding growth.

This clan contains 16 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 38455. The clan was built by J Mistry.

Structures

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the MSD group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt three-dimensional structures. The table below shows the mapping between the Pfam families in this clan, the corresponding UniProt entries, and the region of the three-dimensional structures that are available for that sequence.
