Test 2 proteins Flashcards
Vmp
Variable major protein on borrelia that can change, causing relapsing fever.
OspA-F
Borrelia Outermembrane surface protein, helps to evade host immune response
CRASP/ERP
Borrelia complement binding lipoproteins, prevent complement activation
DbpA,B
Borrelia decorin binding protein, messes with cell collagen and cell growth
SodA, C
Superoxide dismutase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Kat-G
Peroxidase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Man-LAM
Major anti-inflammatory cell wall component in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Prevents acidification of phagosomes, resists ROS, and inhibits T cell activation.
Icl
Isocitrate lyase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, allows for growth on fatty acids and acetate as sole carbon source.
FadD
acyl-CoA synthase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, facilitates first step in fatty acid breakdown, 36 orthologs in Mtb.
SigE
Mtb stress factor, hi temp, ROS
SigH
Mtb stress factor, hi temp, SDS
PhoP
Mtb protein, regulates 44 genes, half fatty acid metabolism, half affect ESAT-6, CFP 10
Sca0,1,2,5
Rickettsia Surface Cell Antigens, bind to host cell receptors to mediate attachment.
BoNT
C. botulinum toxin, targets PNS and blocks muscle stimulation.
TeNT
C. tetani toxin, targets CNS and blocks muscle relaxation.
TcdA, B
C. difficile toxin, glucosylates hosts GTPases preventing actin polymerization.
TcdR
C. difficile positive regulator of TcdA/B and itself.
