Q

Paromomycin fixes the flexible A1492 and A1493 in a conformation similar to induced fit by cognate aminoacyl-tRNA, this will do what to the protein?

A

Mutate the protein due to the fact that the 30s Subunit will close around a near cognate and result in the wrong amino acid.

Q

What region of the 50s has been reported to interact with aminoglycosides?

17
Q

When H44 is already saturated, which region do aminoglycosides bind to?

18
Q

What antibiotics interact with H69 of the 50S resulting in inhibition of 70S dissociation.

A

Neomycin, gentamicin and paromomycin

19
Q

What explains the side effects of aminoglycosides.?

20
Q

T or F: Aminoglycosides are known to accumulate in the perilymph and endolymph of the inner ear and at high concentrations damage hair cells.

21
Q

Which antibiotic binds the 16S rRNA of the 30S in the helix 34 (H34)

A

Spectinomycin

22
Q

T and F: Spectinomycin binds to H34 and sterically blocks movement causing inhibition of translocation.

23
Q

T or F: Tetracycline binds at Tet-2 site on 16s rRNA

A

False; Tetracycline binds at Tet-1

24
Q

What does tetracycline prevent from occurring?
A. Prevent physical binding to P site
B. Prevent physical binding to A site
C . Prevent physical transfer of peptidyl bond
D. Prevent physical transfer of peptidyl bond to E site

A

B. Prevent physical binding to A site.

25
Which of the 4 proteins does tetracycline interact with ? A. S4 for Tet-2; S7 for Tet-6, S9 for Tet-4 and S17 for Tet-5 B. S1 for Tet-2; S7 for Tet-6, S9 for Tet-4 and S17 for Tet-5 C. S4 for Tet-2; S7 for Tet-6, S9 for Tet-4 and S10 for Tet-5 D. S4 for Tet-2; S10 for Tet-6, S9 for Tet-4 and S17 for Tet-5
A. S4 for Tet-2; S7 for Tet-6, S9 for Tet-4 and S17 for Tet-5
26
T or F: All tetracycline binding sites could act synergistically to contribute to the strong bacteriostatic effect of tetracycline
True
27
One of the most interesting forms of resistance to tetracyclines is?
Ribosomal protection:. It has been proposed that Tet-M binds to the A-site and actively releases tetracycline bound to it.
28
What antibiotic is bacteriostatic at low concentrations and bactericidal at high concentrations
Mupirocin
29
Isoleucine-tRNA-synthetase (IleRS) is inactivated by which antibiotic? Why?
Mupirocin; it mimics the IIeRS substrate
