Escherichia coli killing by epidemiologically successful sublineages of Shigella sonnei is mediated by colicins [PDF]

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2023
Background: Shigella sp. are enteric pathogens which causes >125 million cases of shigellosis annually. S. sonnei accounts for about a quarter of those cases and is increasingly prevalent in industrialising nations. Being an enteric pathogen, S.

Colicins and Microcins Produced by Enterobacteriaceae: Characterization, Mode of Action, and Putative Applications [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
Enterobacteriaceae are widely present in many environments related to humans, including the human body and the food that they consume, from both plant or animal origin. Hence, they are considered relevant members of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota.

The Tol proteins of Escherichia coli and their involvement in the translocation of group A colicins

open access: yesBiochimie, 2002
The Tol proteins of Escherichia coli are involved in outer membrane stability. They are also required for the uptake of the group A colicins and the translocation of filamentous phage DNA into the cytoplasm.

Colicins : A minireview

Toxicon, 1982
Colicin are toxins that kill specifically E. coli bacteria. These cells have both an outer and a cytoplasmic membrane. Thus, three steps can be distinguished in colicin action: a) the interaction with specific receptors located at the cell surface, b) the uptake through the outer and eventually through the inner membrane, c) the action of the cell ...

Identification of a New Type of Colicine (Colicine L)

Nature, 1962
THE strain Escherichia coli 398 of the collection in this Institute produces a colicine, which cannot be identified as one of the known types1–3. This new type is related to the colicines of the group E, and was at first considered to be a complex colicine, containing colicines E and I.

Gating Movements of Colicin A and Colicin Ia Are Different

The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2004
Both colicin A and colicin Ia belong to a subfamily of the bacterial colicins that act by forming a voltage-dependent channel in the inner membrane of target bacteria. Both colicin A and Ia open at positive and close at negative potential, but only colicin A exhibits distinctly biphasic turnoff kinetics, implying the existence of two open states ...
