An animal toxin-antidote system kills cells by creating a novel cation channel.

An animal toxin-antidote system kills cells by creating a novel cation channel.

Toxin-antidote systems are selfish genetic elements composed of a linked toxin and antidote. The peel-1 zeel-1 toxin-antidote system in C. elegans consists of a transmembrane toxin protein PEEL-1 which acts cell autonomously to kill cells. Here we investigate the molecular mechanism of PEEL-1 toxici...
