After binding to the BtuB receptor, the complex recruits OmpF, and a group of proteins from the [[Tol]] group of proteins, TolQRAB. The mechanism by which these proteins aid the translocation of ColE3 is as yet unknown, but the colicin then traverses the outer membrane and reaches the periplasm. | After binding to the BtuB receptor, the complex recruits OmpF, and a group of proteins from the [[Tol]] group of proteins, TolQRAB.
