Molecular Comparisons of Colicin Ia and Colicin Ib (Dna Sequence, Secondary Structure, Immunity Genes)

Abstract

dc:description

Colicin Ia and colicin Ib have three distinct functional characteristics, receptor specificity, mode of action and immunity recognition. Both colicins bind to the same receptor and kill sensitive Escherichia coli cells by depolarizing the cell membrane. Sensitive cells carrying the colicin Ib structural and immunity genes are immune to colicin Ib but sensitive to the killing effect of colicin Ia and vice versa.
