Interaction of Colicin Ia With Escherichia Coli: I. Mechanisms of Colicin Insensitivity. Ii. Inhibition of Colicin Binding by Phenolic Uncouplers
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe mechanisms involved in two types of colicin Ia insensitivity in Escherichia coli were examined. Although whole cells of TonB strains are insensitive to colicin Ia, cytoplasmic membrane vesicles prepared from a TonB strain are sensitive to colicin-induced membrane depolarization. This finding shows that the TonB function is not required for channel formation and maintenance within the cytoplasmic membrane, but, instead, is probably required for translocation of the colicin protein to the inner membrane.
