Studies on the Mechanism of Immunity for Colicin Ia

The nucleotide sequences for the colicin Ia immunity gene and the 3$\sp\prime$ half of the colicin Ia structural gene were determined. The deduced amino acid sequences for colicin Ia and Ib were compared. The difference between these two proteins resides in the C-terminal 181 amino acids, however, the overall hydropathy profiles are conserved. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence for the colicin Ia immunity protein with that for the colicin Ib immunity protein revealed that these two proteins share no homology but do exhibit a conservation of overall hydrophobicity.
