  • Identified cytokine motif-containing, immunomodulatory bacterial proteins (CMCPs) in human gut microbiome.
  • Found eight colorectal cancer-associated CMCPs differentially enriched in patients or healthy controls.
  • Engineered E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) expressing CMCPs showed antitumor immune responses in Apcmin/+ mice.
  • Purified CMCPs modulate mouse immune cells in vitro.
  • CMCPs can serve as microbiota-derived proteins for microbiome-mediated immune therapies for colorectal cancer.
