Functional narrative    

This colicin is a channel-forming colicin. This class of transmembrane toxins depolarize the cytoplasmic membrane, leading to dissipation of cellular energy. Colicins are polypeptide toxins produced by and active against E.coli and closely related bacteria.

Region 1: 40-69

Comments:
The translocation domain of this protein is needed for the importing of the protein across the outer membrane. It binds to the third domain of TolA protein, and probably also binds to the OmpF protein. Residues 1-40 may be removed without abolishing toxicity. Residues 40-67 are essential for TolA binding.
