Mechanism of export of colicin E1 and colicin E3 [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1979 The mechanism of export of colicins E1 and E3 was examined. Neither colicin E1, colicin E3, Nor colicin E3 immunity protein appears to be synthesized as a precursor protein with an amino-terminal extension. Instead, the colicins, as well as the colicin E3 immunity protein, appear to leave the cells where they are made, long after their synthesis, by a ...

Microorganisms, 2022 Due to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, new alternatives to antibiotics and ways to prevent infections are being sought. Bacteriocin-producing bacteria are therefore attracting attention due to their probiotic potential as a safe alternative ...

Colicin E2 expression in Escherichia coli biofilms: Induction and regulation revisited
Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2022 Colicins, bacteriocins produced by the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, are tightly regulated by the DNA damage response regulatory system (SOS), and are thus triggered at times of stress.

Colicin U, a novel colicin produced by Shigella boydii [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1997 A novel colicin, designated colicin U, was found in two Shigella boydii strains of serovars 1 and 8. Colicin U was active against bacterial strains of the genera Escherichia and Shigella. Plasmid pColU (7.3 kb) of the colicinogenic strain S. boydii M592 (serovar 8) was sequenced, and three colicin genes were identified. The colicin U activity gene, cua,

Nuclease colicins and their immunity proteins.
, 2012 It is more than 80 years since Gratia first described 'a remarkable antagonism between two strains of Escherichia coli'. Shown subsequently to be due to the action of proteins (or peptides) produced by one bacterium to kill closely related species with ...

Bacteriocin production by mucosal bacteria in current and previous colorectal neoplasia
BMC Cancer, 2020 Background Optimal therapy for colorectal carcinoma (CRC), a frequently diagnosed malignancy, does not exist. Some of colicins and microcins, ribosomally synthesized peptides by gramnegative bacteria, have shown significant biological activity ...
