Colicin A binds to the BtuB Vitamin B12 outer membrane receptor of the target cell, and uses the [[Tol]] system to translocate across the membrane, specifically TolQRAB, alongside the OmpF protein. Its use of the Tol system means that Colicin A is in the A group of colicins. | Colicin A binds to the BtuB Vitamin B12 outer membrane receptor of the target cell, and uses the [[Tol]] system to translocate across the membrane, specifically TolQRAB, alongside the OmpF protein.
