Abstract excerpt
Both colicin A and colicin Ia belong to a subfamily of the bacterial colicins that act by forming a voltage-dependent channel in the inner membrane of target bacteria. Both colicin A and Ia open at positive and close at negative potential, but only colicin A exhibits distinctly biphasic turnoff kinetics, implying the existence of two open states. Previous work has shown that Colicin Ia gating is associated with...
