Identification of the catalytic motif of the microbial ribosome inactivating cytotoxin colicin E3 [PDF]
, 2004 Colicin E3 is a cytotoxic ribonuclease that specifically cleaves 16S rRNA at the ribosomal A-site to abolish protein synthesis in sensitive Escherichia coli cells.

In vitro and in vivo production and split-intein mediated ligation (SIML) of circular bacteriocins
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Circular bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria that after synthesis undergo a head-to-tail circularization. Compared to their linear counterparts, circular bacteriocins are, in general, very stable to temperature and pH changes and

Efficacy of nisin A and nisin V semi-purified preparations alone and in combination with plant essential oils to control Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]
, 2015 peer-reviewedThe foodborne pathogenic bacterium Listeria is known for relatively low morbidity and high mortality rates reaching up to 25-30%. Listeria is a hardy organism and its control in foods represents a significant challenge.

Transcriptional profiling of colicin-induced cell death of Escherichia coli MG1655 identifies potential mechanisms by which bacteriocins promote bacterial diversity [PDF]
, 2004 We report the transcriptional response of Escherichia coli MG1655 to damage induced by colicins E3 and E9, bacteriocins that kill cells through inactivation of the ribosome and degradation of chromosomal DNA, respectively. Colicin E9 strongly induced the

Quorum sensing-controlled gene expression in lactic acid bacteria [PDF]
, 1998 Quorum sensing in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) involves peptides that are directly sensed by membrane-located histidine kinases, after which the signal is transmitted to an intracellular response regulator. This regulator in turn activates transcription of
