Résumé

ABSTRACT The colicin A pore-forming domain (pfColA) was fused to a bacterial signal peptide (sp-pfColA). This was inserted into the Escherichia coli inner membrane in functional form and could be coimmunoprecipitated with epitope-tagged immunity protein (EpCai). We constructed a series of fusion proteins in which various numbers of sp-pfColA α-helices were fused to alkaline phosphatase (AP). We showed that a fusion protein made up of the hydrophobic α-helices 8 and 9 of sp-pfColA fused to AP was specifically coimmunoprecipitated with EpCai produced in the same cells. This is the first biochemical evidence that Cai recognizes and interacts with the colicin A hydrophobic helical hairpin.
