Abstract excerpt
Cellular import of colicin E3 is initiated by high affinity binding of the colicin receptor-binding (R) domain to the vitamin B(12) (BtuB) receptor in the Escherichia coli outer membrane. The BtuB binding site, at the apex of its extended coiled-coil R-domain, is distant from the C-terminal nuclease domain that must be imported for expression of cytotoxicity. Based on genetic analysis and previously determined...
