Highlights From Three Articles/References
The following are pieces of information found from three different articles that showcase more information that could be added to improve the article:

1) SymE/SymR may be involved in recycling damaged RNA as part of the stress response for bacteria. Additionally, symE specifically has LexA binding sites that are induced by the stress response.

2) SymE is a toxin superfamily. Traditionally, antitoxin is sRNA and toxin/antitoxin genes exist in opposite strands of type I systems.

3) SymE is not hydrophobic and is apparently in the cytoplasm. Its homology is similar to type II toxins, and it is considered an RNase.
