Cfi is the immunity protein that is produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin 5]] to protect itself from the pore-forming cytotoxic activity of the [[Colicin]] | Cfi is the immunity protein that is produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin 5]] to protect itself from the pore-forming cytotoxic activity 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. | ||
