Vesicle Transport in Immunity Flashcards
What are the two types of bacteria?
Gram positive and gram negative
Gram negative bacteria have _________ membrane(s) while gram positive bacteria have __________ membrane(s) with a thick peptidoglycan wall
Two; one
Transporters and _______________ machinery exist in both forms of bacteria
Secretion
Gram _______________ bacteria shed vesicles to help infect cells
Negative
What are some functions of gram negative bacteria in infecting cells?
Protect the bacteria by shedding vesicles
Facilitate infection when they contain virulence factors
How does bacteria infect the gut?
The lower pH of the stomach triggers the oligomerization of periplasmic proteins and their insertion into the outer membrane as a pore
Fusion with target cell membrane leads to depolarization and permeabilization of the cell
Bacteria can enter cell
Which transport machinery is present in gram negative and positive bacteria?
Sec and Tat transport machinery
What are the secretion systems of gram negative bacteria?
Type II, type III, type IV, type V/VI
Associate the following functions to the secretion system:
i. Secretes effector proteins, share similarity to components with flagellar apparatus
ii. Can transfer DNA and proteins
iii. Secretes toxins, small molecules, which disables host protein synthesis, leading to lethal infection
iv. Translocate portions of themselves
i. III
ii. IV
iii. II
iv. V/VI
Which degrading cells clear bacteria and develop immunity?
Macrophages and dendritic cells
Dendritic cells allow for the selection of antigens for presentation on class ________ MHC
II
Dendritic cells activate which cells to generate antibodies?
CD4+ T cells
Associate the following characteristics to MHC class I or MHC class II cells:
i. All somatic cells
ii. Dendritic cells, macrophages and B cells
iii. Peptides enter ER through TAP transporters
iv. Peptides are loaded on their proteins
v. Pathogens in the cytosol are degraded by proteases
vi. Pathogens in the endosome/phagosome are degraded by proteases
vii. Bind to CD4+ T cells
viii. Bind to cytotoxic CD8+ T cells
i. MHC class I
ii. MHC class II
iii. MHC class I
iv. MHC class II
v. MHC class I
vi. MHC class II
vii. MHC class II
viii. MHC class I
Bacterial infection by ______________ must be specifically induced
Phagocytosis
What is the zipper mechanism?
Surface proteins on bacteria bind to host cell proteins
What mechanism initiates upon bacterial secretion of effectors that activate actin and lipid remodeling events?
Trigger mechanism
What phenomenon is modulated by changes to PIP?
Signaling by the bacteria
Which PIPs are found in the phagosome?
Pi(4,5)P2 at the top, PI(3,4,5)P3 at the bottom and PI(3)P once internalized
Listeria uses the _____________ mechanism and shigella uses the _____________ mechanism
Zipper; trigger
What are some ways that bacterial effectors modulate actin?
i. Some are injected early to activate internalization
ii. Others are secreted later to enable closure through depolymerization
iii. Some evolved to evade internalization into macrophages, but allow entry into non-phagocytic cells
iv. Others are secreted once the bacteria has escaped the endosome
All of the above
Which bacteria replicate within their own specialized vacuolar compartment?
Salmonella and Legionella
True or false: Salmonella containing vacuole interact with other organelles
True
What does Salmonella do to prevent its compartment from becoming hydrolytic?
Recruitment of R-SNARE SipA and SNAREs Syntaxins 7, 8 and 13 to keep the bacteria from entering the late endosome
Salmonella effectors alter retromer and M6P transport
Which bacteria needs to escape the phagosome to replicate?
Shigella
Which protein is recruited to help the escape of Shigella?
Rab11-positive recycling endosomes
How does bacteria move within the cell?
Actin comet tails
What mechanism is used by the host cell to capture and kill cytosolic bacteria?
Xenphagy
