ColicinE7 with Immunity
This gene sequence once expressed will produce colicin E7. This is an endonuclease with random cutting site and can kill various strains of EHEC bacteria. However, inside the host cell, immediatle after being produced, its toxicity is inhibited by Immunity protein (which is also expressed at the same time). These 2 proteins form a complex which is harmless to the host cell. Under SOS response, the host cell produces lysis protein, which cause the cell to lyze. At the same time, lysis protein remove Immunity protein from the complex with colE7. As a result, colE7 regains its toxicity and ability to kill the EHEC bacteria nearby. For information on lysis gene, please refer to our BBa_K117000 part.
