Cbi is the [[Colicin Immunity Protein]] produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin B]] to protect itself from the cytotoxic pore-forming domain of the [[Colicin]] | Cbi is the [[Colicin Immunity Protein]] produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin B]] to protect itself from the cytotoxic pore-forming domain of the [[Colicin]], 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. | ||
