UniProtKB description: Toxic component of a type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Has RNase activity and preferentially cleaves at the 3'-end of purine ribonucleotides (By similarity). Overexpression in M.tuberculosis or M.smegmatis inhibits colony formation in a bacteriostatic rather than bacteriocidal fashion. Its toxic effect is neutralized by coexpression with antitoxin RelJ (shown only for M.smegmatis). Overexpression also increases the number of rifampcin-tolerant persister cells.
