Protein Synthesis Inhibitors Flashcards
inhibits subunits of peptidoglycan
Cycloserine
hinders the elongation of peptidoglycan
Vancomycin
interferes with transport of precursors across plasma membrane
Bacitracin
Inhibition of transcription and DNA replication
Nucleic acid synthesis
sulfa drugs block PABA to folic acid used to make nucleotides by competitive inhibition of enzyme trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole SXT
Sulfonamides
bind to 30s subunit blocks translation and misreading of mRNA
Aminoglycosides - (streptomycin, gentamicin)
bind to 30s subunit and block attachment of tRNA
Tetracycline
binds to 50S subunits and prevents peptide bonds from being formed
Chloramphenicol
- bind to 50s subunits and prevents the continuation of protein synthesis - used in many G(+) and walking atypical pneumonia instead of penicillin
Macrolides
binds with phospholipids in membrane - not as selectively toxic - topical
Polymyxin
•Inhibition of enzymatic activities
Like sulfa and PABA blocked to folic acid
Cell membrane
Polyxmyxins
Cell wall inhibitors
Bacitracin Cephalosporin Cycloserine Fosfomycin Penicillin Isoniazid Vancomycin
Inhibit replication and transcription
Inhibit gyrase
Ciprofloxacin ( quinolones )
Inhibit RNA polymerase
Rifampin
Protein synthesis inhibitor
Site of action is 50S subunit
CECO
Cholorampenicol
Erythromycin
Clindamycin
Oxazolidinones
Protein synthesis inhibitor
30s sub unit is the location
ATSA
Aminoglycosides
Tetracycline
Streptomycin
Amikacin
Blocked pathways and inhibit metabolism
Sulfonamides
Trimethoprim
Protein synthesis inhibitor
Usually act at the _________ level, taking advantage of the major differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosome structures
ribosome
the point of entry for the aminoacyl tRNA
A site
where the peptidyl tRNA is formed in the ribosome.
P site
the exit site of the now uncharged tRNA after it gives its amino acid to the growing peptide chain.
E site
Initiation
involves formation of an initiation complex that contains
mRNA,
both subunits of ribosomes and
the first aminoacyl-tRNA (formyl-methionyl tRNA)
synthesis of the first peptide bond to addition of the last amino acid.
Elongation
