OmpF enhances the ability of BtuB to protect susceptible Escherichia coli cells from colicin E9 cytotoxicity.
The outer membrane (OM) vitamin B(12) receptor, BtuB, is the primary receptor for E group colicin adsorption to Escherichia coli. Cell death by this family of toxins requires the OM porin OmpF but its role remains elusive. We show that OmpF enhances the ability of purified BtuB to protect bacteria a...
