We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Colicin Y
From Proteopedia
Colicin Y is a type of Colicin, a bacteriocin made by E. coli which acts against other nearby E. coli to kill them with its Pore Formation activity in the membrane, leading to depolarisation of the membrane which kills the cell. Very little other information is known about it, such as about the receptor protein it parasitises on the target cell, or the translocation proteins used to translocate it into the cytoplasm.
