The operon for colicin D is encoded on a plasmid in the cytoplasm of the E. coli. This operon also encodes its [[Colicin Immunity Protein]], [[ImmD]], to protect the membrane of the cell from the tRNase activities of the colicin, alongside a protein to aid the release of the colicin outside the cell. | |||
Once produced, the immunity protein binds to the cytotoxic domain of the colicin and inhibits its enzymatic activity. | |||
