Analysis of the Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 genome sequence for the presence of toxin-antitoxin genes revealed two relBE-like operons, three relB-mazF-like operons, one relB-vapC-like operon, one solitary gene coding for the MazF toxin and one gene coding for the RelB antitoxin. An attempt to clone the selected relE and mazE toxin genes from B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 revealed their toxic effects on Escherichia coil, which could be neutralized by coexpression of these toxins with their cognate antitoxins. The only two toxin proteins, RelE and VapC, that were found to be nontoxic to E. coil, were overproduced and purified. Electrophoretic assays showed that both RelE and VapC possessed direct endoribonuclease activity. The expression levels of toxin genes in B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 increased during the nutrient starvation and entry into the late stationary phase. The two relBE bicistronic operons relE2-relB1 and relE1-relB4 from B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 were cloned and overexpressed in B. longum subsp. longum NCC2705 strain. The strain B. longum NCC2705 [pCESH80::relE1-relB4] showed a significantly decreased growth rate with later onset of the log phase and decreased cells density in the stationary phase.
