Modulation of killing (mok), required for hok translation.
Here, Mok and Hok translation is coupled...the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence of mok results in translation of Mok and Hok, triggering cell death. However...antisense-RNA binds a sequence downstream of the mok SD resulting in a double stranded RNA structure that...gene expression indirectly through the overlapping mok gene."
