Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria

2.9K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes

111
Spirochetes, unique bacteria in the phylum Spirochaetes, are gram-negative, motile, tightly coiled, slender, and flexible. They inhabit aquatic sediments and animals, with some causing diseases like syphilis. Spirochetes are classified into eight genera based on habitat, pathogenicity, phylogeny, and characteristics.Their distinctive motility arises from endoflagella, located within the cell’s periplasm. These endoflagella anchor at the cell poles and extend along the cell length, encased...

Viruses with RNA Genomes01:29

Viruses with RNA Genomes

114
RNA viruses are categorized into positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded groups based on their genomic structure and replication mechanisms. This classification dictates how they exploit host cellular machinery for protein synthesis and replication. Some RNA viruses also utilize reverse transcription as part of their life cycle, further diversifying their replication strategies.Positive-Strand RNA VirusesPositive-strand RNA viruses have genomes that function directly as messenger...

Types of RNA01:23

Types of RNA

64.8K
Overview
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.

Bacterial Phylum Chlamydiae01:29

Bacterial Phylum Chlamydiae

106
The phylum Chlamydiae or Chlamydiota is composed of a single order, Chlamydiales. This phylum consists entirely of obligate intracellular parasites that infect eukaryotic hosts. While human pathogens within this group have been studied extensively, the phylum encompasses many species capable of interacting with various eukaryotic organisms. Members of Chlamydiae are typically small cocci, approximately 0.5 μm in diameter, and exhibit a distinctive developmental cycle. As is characteristic...

Exon Recombination02:32

Exon Recombination

3.7K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Bioquímica y Biología Molecular
  • Enzimología
  • Biología estructural

Sus antecedentes:

  • Las reductasas de ribonucleótidos (RNR) son enzimas esenciales para la biosíntesis del ADN, que catalizan la producción de 2'-deoxinucleótidos.
  • Las RNR de clase I utilizan una subunidad β para generar un radical tilio crucial en la subunidad α, iniciando el ciclo catalítico.
  • El oxidante en la subunidad β puede ser un radical tirosílico (Y•), un racimo dimetal o un radical dihidroxilfenilalanina (DOPA), con una dependencia del metal que varía según las clases de RNR.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Caracterizar la estructura y la función de la subunidad β de *Francisella hispaniensis* (Fh) RNR, una enzima de un grupo de secuencias no caracterizadas que se encuentra en patógenos humanos.
  • Investigar la naturaleza del cofactor y las características estructurales inusuales de *Fh* β y sus posibles implicaciones para la supervivencia de la bacteria.

Principales métodos:

  • Análisis estructural de la forma apo de *Fh* β.
  • Pruebas bioquímicas para determinar la composición del cofactor (Fe2(III/III) /Y•).
  • Estudios de cinética enzimática y estabilidad radical, incluidos ensayos de sensibilidad a la hidroxiurea durante la rotación con la subunidad α.

Principales resultados:

  • La subunidad *Fh* β contiene un cofactor Fe2 (III/III) /Y•, similar a las RNR de la clase Ia de los eucariotas y E. coli.
  • Se observaron características estructurales inusuales, incluida una hélice desenrollada en forma de apo y un radical tirosílico reposicionado.
  • El radical tirosílico en reposo *Fh* β es altamente resistente a la reducción, pero se vuelve significativamente más sensible durante la rotación catalítica con la subunidad α.

Conclusiones:

  • La subunidad *Fh* RNR β posee propiedades estructurales y funcionales únicas, incluido un residuo aromático conservado (W194) cerca de W37, potencialmente involucrado en la oxidación de α-Cys.
  • La sensibilidad modulada del radical a la reducción sugiere una adaptación para evadir las defensas redox del huésped dirigidas al RNR esencial del patógeno.
  • Estos hallazgos proporcionan información sobre las adaptaciones evolutivas de los RNR en las bacterias patógenas y su interacción con los entornos de acogida.
