Inhibitors Flashcards
Binds to the 30s subunit interfering with binding fMet-tRNA; prevents initiation by stopping association with 50s
Streptomycin
binds to 30s preventing aminoacyl-tRNA from entering complex
Tetracycline
Inhibits peptidyl transferase (elongation) in prokaryotes and mitochondria
Chloramphenicol
Binds to 50s, blocking translocation of ribosome
Clindamycin and Erythromycin (pertussis)
Inhibits peptidyl transferase in eukaryotes; Strep. griesua
Cycloheximide
inactivates GTP bound EF-2; interfering with eukaryotic ribosomal translocation
Diptheria Toxin
Bind to 60s of eukaryotes and prevent the entry of aminoacyl-tRNA to complex
Shiga Toxin and Ricin
Premature chain termination in prokaryotes and eukaryotes; elongation inhibitor
Puromycin
Block DNA replication; affect all phases of cell cycle
Alkylating agents
Inhibit topoisomerase II, which gets rid of tangles in DNA
Topoisomerase II inhibitors in S phase (Etoposide)
Inhibit enzymes involved with DNA synthesis
Antimetabolites
Intercalate between bases in DNA to inhibit synthesis
Cytotoxic antibiotics
Inhibit topoisomerase I, which removes supercoils in DNA
Topoisomerase I inhibitors in G2 (Irinotecan)
Arrest cells in mitosis during metaphase
Mitotic inhibitors
Binds and stabilizes microtubules
Taxol
