Abstract excerpt
The requirement for the activation of phospholipase A by the colicin A lysis protein (Cal) in the efficient release of colicin A by Escherichia coli cells containing colicin A plasmids was studied. In particular, we wished to determine if this activation is the primary effect of Cal or whether it reflects more generalized damage to the envelope caused by the presence of large quantities of this small acylated...
