	Csi is an immunity protein produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin S4]] to protect itself from the [[Colicin]]'s ~~pore-forming~~ activity. This ~~is later released when~~ the colicin ~~binds to~~ the ~~outer membrane receptor of a target~~ cell.		Csi is an immunity protein produced by ''E. coli'' alongside [[Colicin S4]] to protect itself from the [[Colicin]]'s [[Pore Formation]] activity, 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.
