Eating habits - 10th set Flashcards
b anthracis is encoded by…(you know already)
plasmid DNA (virulence plasmid). it is a 3 part toxin, all 3 parts must be present together for biological action of toxin.
3 parts of anthrax
protective antigen, lethal factor, and the edema factor. protective antigen portion used in vaccine preparation
protective antigen - anthrax (lars sub - front door)
2 subunits, binds to receptors, anthrax receptor not meant for toxin, small subunit gets separated from rest of protective antigen. subunit now assembles with subunits and forms a channel. edema factor and lethal factor taken inside cell in endosomal vessel. copies for a multi-subunit structure. when taken inside there will be proton pumping, which acidifies the lethal and edema factor to come out in cytoplasm.
anthrax - disregulates….(ex - lars milk)
the calmodulin. ex. organ transplant, given immunosuppressant drugs, some target calmodulin.
edema factor is (anthrax) (lars edna- corner)
inactive until it reaches cytoplasm. binds to calmodulin. activates adenylyl cyclase, induces runaway cAMP. leades to loss of electrolytes, water.
lethal aspect - anthrax (3)
3 factors
anthrax creates a…(edema factor) (h20)
hypertonic environment and then h2o is pulled out of cell. this is why its so deadly like a drowning victim
lethal factor - anthrax (Lars skull/chemo- corner)
protease split regulatory pathway components that promotes growth and proliferation. inhibits chemokine (is the trafficking agent - attracts defense cells) production, can’t call for help and recruitment of defense cells. MAP kinase messed up - leads to cell death, necrosis.
botulism - type of toxin
Toxin belongs to AB toxin
botulism has the least impact on…
intestines.
highest botulism - which state
Alaska - homemade meat smoked over flame after tightening both ends. cuts off oxygen supply.
SNARE (nfl)
soluble NSF attachment receptor protein
NSF (botulism marmalade)
N ethyl maleimide sensitive fusion protein
death from botulism is due to…
failure of the diaphragm muscles there is no contraction. signals to heart muscle stops and brain doesn’t get normal signals.
death from tetanus
also called tetanospasm - death is due to respiratory failure. the diaphragm is locked in. jaw muscles in a contraction. this leads to spastic paralysis
action of tetanus (gabe)
it inhibits release of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) and glycene. breaks down snare protein and no relaxation. it chews up V snare protein, not released at neuromuscular junction.
Clostridium tetanus is…
non-invasive.
tetanus vaccine is a…(bee)
vaccine with an inactivated toxin. it then creates memory b and t cells.
cholera ToxR - allows for rapid…
sensing and activation of pathogenic functions. It is able to detect acidity and elevated temperature ( signs of host digestive system)
Cholera toxin is an…
enterotoxin - it is secreted by V. cholerae
V. cholerae 0139
bengal strain. bengal is more virulent, there is no effective vaccine against this evolving strain
cholera encoded by..
phage genome
cholera outside the body..
doesn’t secrete the toxin.
causes cholera to release toxin
acidity and heat
cholera is an…(type of toxin AND)
AB toxin (its a multimeric toxin)
cholera action (chiq gang)
Membrane receptors are ganglioside receptors on the intestinal epithelial cells. B part binds, and there are subunits 1A and 2A.
Cholera toxin modifies G protein (Chiq A jeans - bed)
and A part causes ADP ribosylation. G protein controls activation of adenylate cyclase - ATP to cAMP. then build up of cAMP in cell. Then Ca++, Na+, K+, Cl- all opened up, and get into intestines and creates hypertonic environment. draws water out of the cells, leads to diarrhea. A subunit adds to G protein and locks it in. adenylate cyclase is constantly activated
after cholera modifies G protein…(camp first- kitchen counter)
increases cAMP, activates kinase, A phosphorylates. CFTR (Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) transports chloride ions across ; water follows - becomes hypertonic environment.
superantigens are…(backyard)
exotoxins. trying to scavenge for iron (tampons)
1st line (SML SBM)
SSMMBL
includes skin, mucous (physical), lysozyme (chemical), acidic ph of stomach. genetic barrier (some only infect ppl, some only animals), normal microflora.
