Colicin E3 and Related Bacteriocins: Penetration of the Bacterial Surface and Mechanism of Ribosomal Inactivation

  • Chapter
The Specificity and Action of Animal, Bacterial and Plant Toxins

Part of the book series: Receptors and Recognition ((RERE))

Abstract

Since this volume is concerned primarily with the action of toxins on eukaryotic cell surfaces, the inclusion of a chapter on toxic proteins, active only against certain bacteria, requires some justification at the outset. Such justification is provided on the grounds that obstacles encountered by large colicin molecules, seeking to reach specific intracellular targets in sensitive cells, are likely to be fundamentally the same as those shared by many animal and plant cell toxins. In addition, the ease of handling and the ability to apply to complex problems, powerful techniques such as genetic analysis or specialized molecular biological methods, makes the study of colicin-bacteria interactions an excellent model system for studies in more complex organisms.
