Abstract
Colicins kill E. coli by a process that involves binding to a surface receptor, entering the cell, and, finally, intoxicating it. The lethal action of colicin E3 is a specific cleavage in the ribosomal decoding A site. The crystal structure of colicin E3, reported here in a binary complex with its immunity protein (IP), reveals a Y-shaped molecule with the receptor binding domain forming a 100 A long stalk and the two globular heads of the translocation domain (T) and the catalytic domain (C) comprising the two arms. Active site residues are D510, H513, E517, and R545. IP is buried between T and C. Rather than blocking the active site, IP prevents access of the active site to the ribosome.

Figure 2. Ribbon Diagrams(A) The colicin E3-IP complex is Y shaped with dimensions of 75 × 135 × 45 Å.(B) Close-up of the jellyroll structure of the translocation domain in the same orientation as in (A). The three β sheets are shown in red, blue, and yellow. The β strands are numbered consecutively from the N terminus. The β barrel is flanked by two α-helical stretches. The second and longer α helix ends with P315, which causes a kink in the helix and leads directly into the helical receptor binding domain.(C) Close-up of the catalytic domain and the IP. The C domain is shown in gray and the IP in red. Catalytic residues are shown in ball-and-stick. This orientation shows that the two β sheets are roughly perpendicular to each other.
