| Type | Homologous_superfamily |
| Description | This family includes bacterial colicin and pyocin immunity proteins [ , ]. These immunity proteins can bind specifically to the DNase-type colicins and pyocins and inhibit their bactericidal activity. The 1.8-angstrom crystal structure of the ImmE7 protein consists of four antiparallel α-helices []. Sequence similarities between colicins E2, A and E1 [] are less striking. The colicin E2 (pyocin) immunity protein does not share similarity with either the colicin E3 or cloacin DF13 [] immunity proteins. Pyocin protects a cell that harbours the plasmid ColE2 encoding colicin E2 against colicin E2; it is thus essential both for autonomous replication and colicin E2 immunity []. |
