	Cui is an immunity protein that is produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin U]] to protect itself from the pore-forming cytotoxic activity of the [[Colicin]]~~. Once~~ the ~~complex has been released~~ from the ~~producing cell and binds to an outer~~ membrane ~~receptor on~~ the ~~target cell~~, the ~~immunity protein~~ is ~~released~~.		Cui is an immunity protein that is produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin U]] to protect itself from the pore-forming cytotoxic activity of the [[Colicin]], by inserting itself into the cell membrane and preventing the [[Colicin]] from doing the same. This prevents membrane depolarisation by the colicin, so the cell is not killed.
