Microbiología y Biología Molecular; Descubrimiento y Desarrollo de Fármacos

Sus antecedentes:

La resistencia a los antibióticos es una crisis de salud mundial creciente, que disminuye la eficacia de los fármacos antimicrobianos actuales.
La traducción bacteriana es un objetivo prometedor para nuevos antibióticos debido a su papel esencial y a las diferencias con la traducción eucariota.

Objetivo del estudio:

Revisar los avances recientes en la orientación de la traducción bacteriana para la terapia antimicrobiana.
Destacar las estrategias guiadas por la estructura y conscientes del contexto para el desarrollo de nuevos antibióticos.

Principales métodos:

Síntesis de estudios estructurales y biofísicos recientes de alta resolución sobre inhibidores de la traducción bacteriana.
Análisis de inhibidores dirigidos a las etapas de iniciación, elongación, terminación y reciclaje de la traducción.
Investigación de las vías de control de calidad bacterianas como puntos de intervención adicionales.

Principales resultados:

Los datos estructurales y biofísicos han aclarado los sitios de unión ribosomal y los mecanismos de acción de varios inhibidores.
Se descubrieron actividades previamente desconocidas específicas de la etapa y mecanismos de acción dependientes del contexto.

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Eukaryotic Transcription Inhibitors

Eukaryotic Transcription Inhibitors

Certain biochemical processes, such as embryonic development and cell growth regulation, depend on the repression of specific genes. DNA binding proteins known as eukaryotic transcription inhibitors regulate the repression of gene expression in eukaryotes. The presence of these inhibitors at the required location and time in the cell is triggered by the presence of hormones and additional signals from other cells.
Eukaryotic transcription inhibitors usually contain two distinct domains, a...

Leaky Scanning

Leaky Scanning

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Protein-protein Interfaces

Protein-protein Interfaces

Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...

Types of RNA

Types of RNA

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.
