Csi is an immunity protein produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin S4]] to protect itself from the [[Colicin]]'s pore-forming activity. This is later released when the colicin binds to the outer membrane receptor of a target cell.
Csi is an immunity protein produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin S4]] to protect itself from the [[Colicin]]'s [[Pore Formation]] activity, by inserting itself into the cell membrane and preventing the [[Colicin]] from doing the same. This prevents membrane depolarisation by the colicin, so the cell is not killed.
