Q

Mycoplasma genitalium

A

free living/ no wall/small/gentalia

24
Q

Nanoarchaeum equitans

A

smallest archaeon - mutualistic / parasitic relationship with Ignicoccus bacteria (highly dependent on them to DNA replicate

25
Nasuia Deltocephalinicola
sap insect (small non freeliving bacteria)
26
Siderophores
transportation of iron
27
Teichoic acid:
bind to plasma membrane to stabilize the cell wall and stand different environments
28
lipopolysaccharides
Lipid A (fatty acid that connects to polysaccharide and can trigger unnecessary response), o side chain (they help stabilize the outer membrane so the membrane don’t melt
29
Braun's lipoproteins
connect the outer membrane to the peptidoglycan
30
Mycoplasma
no cell wall and lipoprotein membrane
31
MreB
actin that heps wih cell shape (RODS)
32
CreS
Maintains curved shape
33
F-plasmids
capable of conjugation
34
(R)plasmids
resistance
35
Col-plasmids
code for bacteriocins, proteins that kill other bacteria
36
MOSAICISM
viruses grouped into families with common functions
37
RETROTRANSPOSON
repeating sequence with GAG and PAL
37
GAG
reverse transcriptase
38
PAL
protease and integrase which cuts up polypeptides in different locations
39
ENV
glycoprotein that makes up virus capsid and envelope and is what separates the retrotransposons from viruses
40
Eclipse: Latent: Rise: Burst:
- virus is released from capsid (blacked out) - time of cell infection till virus release from infected cell - the viruses start getting produced till they decide its enough and stop - total number of progenies produced by single virus
41
hemagglutinin and neuraminidase (ATP TOO)
virus lines up with the membrane wall
42
Hollin and Endolysin
BACTERIA LYSIS: Hollin(inner membrane) and Endolysin(cytoplasm). There will be a lot of Hollin that it will cause crystals to form in the membrane which makes holes so that endolysin can go to the periplasmic layer opening the peptidoglycan wall and letting it release.
43
pRB and E2F
similar to kinase and E7 (must disassociate to start replicating
44
E6 and p53
E6 Inhibits tumor suppressor p53
45
group 1 2 3 4 6
dsdna ssdna ddrna ssrna ssrna retro
46
ANTIMICROBIAL DRUGS (GENERAL STRATEGY):
cell wall, protein, metabolism, nucleic acid
47
cell wall inhibitor
beta lactam ring + penecillan + block the enzyme that catalyzes transpeptidase
48
PROTEIN SYNTHESIS INHIBITORS:
Don’t effect eukaryotic ribosomes
49
1.) AMINOGLYCOSIDES (30S) 2.) TETRACYCLINE 3.) MACROLIDES
1.) MRNA there is interfere with the translation + KTS 2.) the 30 S ribosome which inhibits the binding of aminoacytl-TRNA (slows down) 3.) inhibits peptide chain elongation
50
METABOLIC ANTAGONISTS
sulfa drugs: P-Aminobenzoic (PABA) mimicry that stops folic acid production
51
NUCLEIC ACID SYNTHESIS INHIBITORS:
○ block DNA replication by inhibiting DNA polymerase or helicase ○ or they can block Transcription by inhibiting the RNA polymerase
52
FLUOROQUINOLONES:
DNA gyrase and topoimoserase which help unwind DNA for replication to occur.
53
RIFAMYCINS
beta subunit of RNA polymerase.
54
1.) Adenine Arabinosides: 2.) Oseltamivir 3.) Remdesivir
1.) Inhibits herpes virus enzymes in DNA and RNA synthesis functions. 2.) Preventing influenza viruses from getting into the cell and reproducing. 3.) looks like adenosine nucleoside triphosphate (dysfunctional proteins)
