  • Regulating colicin synthesis to cope with stress and lethality of colicin production
    Žgur-Bertok, Darja
    Colicins are plasmid-encoded bacteriocins active against Escherichia coli and closely related species of Enterobacteriaceae. They promote microbial diversity and genetic diversity in E. coli ... populations. Colicin synthesis is characteristically repressed by the LexA protein, the key regulator of the SOSresponse. As colicins are released by cell lysis, generally two LexA dimersbinding to two overlapping SOS boxes control untimely expression. Nevertheless, genetic organization of the colicin clusters, additional transcription regulators as well as post-transcriptional mechanisms involving translational efficiency of the lysis and activity genes fine-tune colicin expression and protect against lethality of colicin production.
