B2 SFM Flashcards
Cause of SCID
deficient Adenosine Deaminase
Typically would remove amine at Position 6
location of cancer blocking drugs on nucleotides
Positions 3, 6, and 7
Tm
temperature where molecule ishalf denatured
Enough E to break half H bonds
factors affect Tm
G-C content (more of = higher Tm)
size of DNA molecule (increase base pairs = increase Tm)
Chemical denaturation of DNA
pH increases to strip H bonds
competitive denaturants - H bond favor interaction of denaturant and N bases (not the complementary bases)
others (DMSO strips H bond) (aldehydes covalently modify N bases to negative H bond)
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (include ___floxacin & Levaquin)
target DNA gyrases in gram negative bacteria
Daunorubicin
chemo drug, anti-leukemia
DNA intercalation/Topo II
Quinolone
Chemo drug, antibiotic
DNA gyrase
Doxorubicin
chemo drug, anti - leukemia
DNA intercalation/Topo II
Etoposide
chemo drug, Anti lung cancer
Topoisomerase II
teniposide
chemo drug, anti-leukemia drug
Topoisomerase II
Azidothymidine (AZT)
anti HIV drug
HIV reverse transcriptase
Common DNA lesions
Strand breaks by ion radiation/chemicals
Missing base by acid/heat depurination
alter bases by ionizin radiation, alkylating, oxidation, deamination
dimer formation by UV irradiation (specifically Thymine)
Base excision repair steps
uracill DNA glycosylase removes bad base
AP endonuclease & PDE (lyase) cut out the phosphodiester bonf
DNA polymerase B fixes to correct base
DNA ligase seals together
Nucleotide exision repair steps
endonuclease and exonuclease take out Thymine dimer with about 30 nucleotides
DNA polymerase delta does the work to make new bases
DNA ligase seals
Xeroderma Pigmentosum
autosomal recessive
severe sunburn with small sun
skin cancers
mutation in one of 9 genes in nucleotide excision repair
over 1000x increase of sunlight induced skin cancer & others
HNPCC/Lynch Syndrome
defect in mismatch repair
hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
anti-nuclear antibodies against double stranded DNA, histones, small nucleotide RNPs
Can lead to inability to splice out introns
red butterfly rash
Polymyositis
anti-ARS antibody (aminoacyltRNA synthetases), no translocation during translation
inflammatory myopathy by symmetrical proximal muscle weakness
increased serum creatine kinases
No signal recognition particle which means proteins just get excreted
DBA (diamond black anemia
rapid onset anemia in1 year
improper translation
decrease hematocrit/reticulocyte
Mutations of ribosomal proteins subunits (RPS19, RPS26, RPL5, RPL11)
Diptheria
inactivates eEF2 (ADP ribosylation)
grey pseudomembrane in pharynx
leads to problem with ribosomal trnaslation as eEF2 is need for elongation
Pneumonia
associated with ventilators
Exotoxin A
problem with elongation during translation
Shiga Toxin
peptidyl transferase is decreased so block peptide formation in translation
EHEC enters cytosol by Golgi/ER that cleaves Adenin from 28S RNA of 60S subunit (peptide formation)
bloody diarrhea
Zellweger Syndrome
defect recognition/transport of proteins to peroxisomes
Not properly labelled as defect in PEX gene that encode
vision loss, deafness, muscle weak
build up branched fatty acid
Adrenoleukodystrophy
mutation ABCD1 peroxisomal membrane transporter that bring fatty acid to peroxisome for degradation
chain fatty acid accumulation in cell
vision loss, deafness, muscle weak
Refsum disease
deficiency in enzyme that breaks down phytanic acid leads to issues with peroxisomes
vision loss, deafness, muscle weak
Botox toxin
muscle weakness
targets vSNARE, tSNARE, SNAP 25
affect ACh neurotransmitter (no contraction)
Tetanus toxin
muscle spasm
targets vSNARE
affect glycine & GABA neurotransmitter (no inhibitors)
familial hypercholesterolemia
mutation in LDL receptor so reduced uptake
use drug alirocumab and evolocumab, inhibit PCSK9
PCSK9 reduceds LDL receptor expression
HPV related cancer
HPV type 16/18 as express E6/E7
E6 - inhibit p53 (tumor supressor protein)
E7 - inhibit Rb/E2F (tumor supressor protein)
Osteoarthritis
Glucosamine & chondroitin 4 & 6 sulfates help treat
makes new GAG building block
Heparin
anti-coagulant
decreases fibrin
increases antithrombin III
hunter syndrome
dermatin sulfate & heparin sulfate
L-iduronate-2-sulfatase
No corneal clouding
hurler syndrome
dermatin sulfate & heparin sulfate
alpha-L-iduronidase
corneal clouding, X linked
Sly syndrome
Dermatin sulfate & heparin sulfate
beta Glucuronidase
corneal clouding with skeletal deformity
