Mechanism of post-segregational killing: Sok antisense RNA interacts with Hok mRNA via its 5'-end single-stranded leader and competes with the 3'-end of Hok mRNA for binding to the mok translational initiation region.

The hok/sok system of plasmid R1, which mediates plasmid stabilization by killing of plasmid-free segregants, codes for two RNA species, Hok mRNA and Sok antisense RNA. The lethal expression of hok is inhibited post-transcriptionally by the 67 nt Sok-RNA. In this paper, we analyse the secondary stru...
