Crystal structure of colicin M, a novel phosphatase specifically imported by Escherichia coli.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 12 Sept 2008

Zeth Kornelius, Römer Christin, Patzer Silke I, Braun Volkmar

Abstract excerpt

Colicins are cytotoxic proteins secreted by certain strains of Escherichia coli. Colicin M is unique among these toxins in that it acts in the periplasm and specifically inhibits murein biosynthesis by hydrolyzing the pyrophosphate linkage between bactoprenol and the murein precursor. We crystallized colicin M and determined the structure at 1.7A resolution using x-ray crystallography. The protein has a novel...
