Abstract excerpt
Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) is one mechanism of inter-bacterial competition. CDI(+) cells export large CdiA effector proteins, which carry a variety of C-terminal toxin domains (CdiA-CT). CdiA-CT toxins are specifically neutralized by cognate CdiI immunity proteins to protect toxin-producing cells from autoinhibition. Here, we use structure determination to elucidate the activity of a CDI toxin from...
