The colicin Ia receptor, Cir, is also the translocator for colicin Ia [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 2010
SummaryColicin Ia, a channel‐forming bactericidal protein, uses the outer membrane protein, Cir, as its primary receptor. To kill Escherichia coli, it must cross this membrane. The crystal structure of Ia receptor‐binding domain bound to Cir, a 22‐stranded plugged β‐barrel protein, suggests that the plug does not move.

Demonstration of the Role of Both a Ttr and a Psr Homologue Enzymes in the Respiration of Tetrathionate by an Environmental Bacterium Shewanella sp. ANA‐3

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using a combination of deletion mutants' construction, phenotyping of these mutants and complementary biochemical analyses, we established that the environmental Shewanella sp. ANA‐3 is using both the tetrathionate reductase Ttr and the polysulfide reductase Psr to respire tetrathionate.

Rapid production and characterization of antimicrobial colicins using Escherichia coli-based cell-free protein synthesis

open access: yes, 2018
Colicins are antimicrobial proteins produced by Escherichia coli, which, upon secretion from the host, kill non-host E. coli strains by forming pores in the inner membrane and degrading internal cellular components such as DNA and RNA.

Is there any function for colicinogeny in the post-weaning diarrhoea of piglets?

open access: yesVeterinární Medicína, 2003
Using seven experimental approaches, we attempted to solve the question of possible participation of colicinogeny and colicin-sensitivity in the pathology of the post-weaning diarrhoeic enteritis of piglets. In our research, both enterotoxic E.

Evolutionary Stabilization of Cooperative Toxin Production through a Bacterium-Plasmid-Phage Interplay

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Colicins are toxins produced and released by Enterobacteriaceae to kill competitors in the gut. While group A colicins employ a division of labor strategy to liberate the toxin into the environment via colicin-specific lysis, group B colicin systems lack

Role of the colicin A lysis protein in the expression of the colicin A operon [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology, 1997
Summary: The involvement of the cal gene, which encodes the colicin A lysis protein, in the expression of the colicin A operon is demonstrated. Colicin A synthesis by Escherichia coli was studied at various temperatures in cells containing either the wild-type colicin A operon or the colicin A operon with the cal gene deleted.

Cas9 beyond CRISPR – SUMOylation, effector‐like potential and pathogenic adaptation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 5, Page 1285-1296, March 2026.
This Viewpoint explores the possibility that Cas9, beyond its canonical role in CRISPR immunity, may act as a host‐modulating effector during infection by Cas9‐encoding bacteria. Such a nucleomodulin‐like function could be influenced by eukaryotic post‐translational modifications, particularly SUMOylation, with potential implications for host–pathogen ...

Simple Purification of Nicotiana benthamiana-Produced Recombinant Colicins

open access: yes, 2022
Art.95, 13 S.Colicins are natural non-antibiotic bacterial proteins with a narrow spectrum but an extremely high antibacterial activity. These proteins are promising food additives for the control of major pathogenic Shiga toxin-producing E.

Postantibiotic SOS response states in E. coli intestinal microbiocenoses and their possible consequences (review)

open access: yesВетеринария и кормление
The study of the effects of stress on E. coli in the intestine, realized through SOS-response reactions, is important for understanding the possible consequences for microbiocenoses.
