vancomycin.
3 proteins (CepA, CepB, CepC) 7 modules ( to make 7 aa) Other enzymes add functional groups |
|
Prions
|
Infectious protein only
|
|
Diseases with proteins
|
Creutzfeldt-Jakob (human equivalency of Mad Cow)
Kuru Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Scrapie Chronic wasting Disease Feline spongiform encephalopathy |
|
Chronic wasting disease (deer, elk)
|
significant problem for hunters
|
|
Mechanism for prion formation
|
PrP^sc is misfolded to PrP^c when it binds and uses as substrate, aggregation
|
|
Familial PrP^c
|
mutation of PrPsc gene
|
|
three forms of prion diseases
|
familial, sporadic, acquired (consumation of contaminated meat)
|
|
Viruses are
|
noncellular particles
10-500nm must infect host to reproduce includes nucleic acid, capsid |
|
Types of viruses
|
Plant viruses, mammalian viruses
|
|
viruses has a host range
|
single species (HIV , FIV)
Broad range (West nile) |
|
Two types of structures of viruses
|
Symmetrical: icosahedral (20 sided)., Filamentous (helical)
Assymetrical |
|
3 classifying characteristics of viruses
|
Physical structures, Genome structure (RNA, DNA, single, double), Enveloped vs. Naked (outer lipid membrane vs. no membrane)
|
|
Steps for a phage
|
hos recognition and attachment, hijacking cell surface receptors, Genome entry, virion particle assembly, exit and transmission
|
|
3 cdifferent life cylcles of a phage
|
lytic, lysogenic, slow release
|
|
Lytic cycle or "virulent"
|
Protein expression
Host cell DINA digestion Capsid synthesis Viral DNA replication Packaging Lysis and release |
|
Lysogenic Life Cycle "temperate"
|
Prophage formation (genome integration), reproduction with host DNA, Excision --> lytic cycle
|
|
Slow Release
|
Cell survives!
Phage replication and assembly No lysis Slows host cell growth because of limited resources |
|
Viroids
|
infective RNA
No capsid Requires host RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for replication Missappen potato |
|
Hepatitis D
|
Only present upon co infection with hep B. capsid derived from hepatitis B
