'''Immunity proteins''' against [[Colicin]]s (EcCIP) are produced by ''E. coli'' alongside the relevant colicin protein (EcCol) to protect the cell from the cytotoxic domain of the colicin. Usually this involves binding to and blocking the active site of the domain, to prevent it from targeting the cells own mechanisms. | '''Immunity proteins''' against [[Colicin]]s (EcCIP) are produced by ''E. coli'' alongside the relevant colicin protein (EcCol) to protect the cell from the cytotoxic domain of the colicin.
