Ribosome inactivating cytotoxic protein that irreversibly inhibits protein synthesis in cells, causing cell death. It is a solid obtained from bacteria (Shigella dysenteriae). 

Ribosome activating cytotoxic proteins that irreversibly inhibit protein synthesis in cells, causing cell death. They are obtained from bacteria (Escherichia coli serotype 0157 H7). Verotoxin 1 is almost identical to shiga toxin (C16-A032) and differs only by a single amino acid. Verotoxin 2 has significant differences. 

The primary mechanism of the action of beta-lactam antibiotics is the inhibition of synthesis of cell membranes of bacteria, which causes them to quickly die. Their initial action is to initiate the work of autolytic enzymes, which destroy cell membranes and cause lysis of the bacteria. 

Vancomycin acts by inhibiting the correct synthesis of cell walls in gram-positive bacteria by specifically inhibiting the incorporation of V-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and A-acetylglucosamine (NAG), two important peptide subunits that are present in the peptidoglycan layer of these types of bacteria. 

Acrylic acid did not induce mutations in bacteria. It formed DNA adducts in vitro. It did not induce unscheduled DNA synthesis or cell transformation in rodent cells in vitro, or sex-linked recessive lethal mutations in Drosophila. It induced gene mutations and chromosomal aberrations in rodent cells in vitro. In single studies, acrylic acid given in vivo did not induce dominant lethal mutations in mice or chromosomal aberrations in rat bone marrow. 

T There are several distinct types of inhibitors of nucleotide biosynthesis, each type acting at different points in the pathways to purine or pyrimidine nucleotides. All these inhibitors are very toxic to cells, especially rapidly growing cells, such as those of tumors or bacteria, because interruption of the supply of nucleotides seriously limits the cell s capacity to synthesize the nucleic acids necessary for protein synthesis and cell replication. In some cases, the toxic effect of such inhibitors makes them useful in cancer chemotherapy or in the treatment of bacterial infections. However, some of these agents can also damage the rapidly replicating cells of the intestinal tract and bone marrow. This danger imposes limits on the doses that can be used safely.

It acts by inhibiting RNA synthesis, bacteria being sensitive to this effect at much lower concentrations than mammalian cells it is particularly effective against mycobacteria that lie semidormant within cells. Rifampicin has a wide range of antimicrobial activity. Other uses include leprosy, severe Legionnaires disease (with erythromycin or ciprofloxacin), the chemoprophylaxis of meningococcal meningitis, and severe staphylococcal infection (with flucloxacillin or vancomycin). 

The localization of different PBPs and peptidoglycan hydrolases in several bacterial species has been determined using immunofluorescence and, more recently, using GFP-fusions [106, 107,108,109,110]. From these studies, it appears that in coccoid bacteria cell wall synthesis occurs mainly at the septum, while in rod-shaped bacteria different PBPs are localized to sites of cell division and peripheral cell wall synthesis. Furthermore, the localization of the enzymes seems to be dependent on both interactions with other enzymes and with substrate [98]. These visualization techniques have also helped explain the apparent functional redundancy of the PBPs. For example, in S. pneumoniae, different PBPs are speciflcally localized to sites of... 

Many toxins interfere with intracellular functions. The best-characterized of these are diphtheria toxin and cholera toxin, produced by the bacteria Corynebacterium diptheriae and Vibrio cholerae, respectively. Both of these toxins contain two subunits, called A and B. The A subunit is responsible for the toxic effect, whereas the B subunit binds to the target cell. Once diphtheria toxin has entered the target cell, the A and B subunits split apart. The A subunit, which is an enzyme, catalyzes a reaction that prevents protein synthesis. The cell dies because it cannot synthesize proteins. The host organisms dies because cardiac, kidney, and nervous tissue are destroyed. 

UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid is made from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (see Figure) on the pathway to synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramyl pentapeptide for bacteria cell walls (Figure 16.19, Figure... 

Equilibrium for the reaction catalyzed by polynucleotide phosphorylase lies toward the direction of RNA degradation rather than synthesis. High concentrations of ribonucleo-side diphosphates are required to achieve the net synthesis of RNA and it is likely that their concentrations in the cell are not sufficient to drive net polynucleotide synthesis. Also, polynucleotide phosphorylase does not use a template, so the polyribonucleotides it synthesizes contain random sequences, which makes them of no value for protein synthesis. The cell uses polynucleotide phosphorylase as a degradative enzyme in conjunction with other nucleases that regulate the lifetimes of RNA molecules, including mRNA. In bacteria mRNA lifetimes are relatively short. 

This method shows the advantages of having no need for isolation and purification of recombinant gjycosyltransferases and the bacteria cells already possess the machinery required for sugar nucleotide synthesis. On the other hand, the efficiency of this system is critically dependent on the intracellular pool of sugar nucleotides. 

The silicatein a subunit alone proved sufficient to catalyze the acceleration of TEOS condensation at neutral pH [7], For these experiments, we purified and reconstituted the silicatein a subunit that we produced from a recombinant DNA that we cloned in bacteria — cells which normally would make no silicatein without the introduced recombinant DNA template (Fig. 5). This method allowed us to be sure that the catalysis of silica synthesis we observed was due solely to the silicatein a protein produced from the cloned DNA and purified from the bacteria, since no other proteins from the sponge could be present.
