repression of lytic growth

24
Q

CII is a

A

binding protein

25
once CII has had time to accumulate it will activate
cI
26
site specific
integration
27
lambda integration is between
gal and bio
28
cI shuts off
PL and PR
29
once cI binds to the PR a second promoter forms called
PRM
30
positive transcriptional of its own synthesis
cI
31
typically, the only protein expressed from a prophage is the
repressor
32
immune to any other lambda phage infection
lambda lysogen
33
lytic growth or lysogeny?
depends on the nutriotional status of the cell
34
rich nutrient medium> high levels of protease > cII is degraded > No repressor made> Q protein accumulates
Lysis
35
all of cII is degraded and no repressor is made
lysis
36
poor nutrient medium > low levels of protease > cII accumulates and activates cI repressor synthesis
lysogeny
37
enoguh cII is spared to activate transcription resulting in high levels of cI repression
lysogeny
38
can prophages escape from the lysogenic state?
Yes
39
escaping the lysogenic state
induction
40
phage induction is elicited by _____ through the __________
phage induction is elicited by DNA damage through the SOS response
41
are not expressed in general beucase they are repressed by the LexA protein
SOS- DNA repair
42
After interaction with activated _______ protein, the Lex A represor ____, allowing the SIS DNA repair genes to be expressed
After interaction with activated Rec A protein, the Lex A represor self-destruct, allowing the SIS DNA repair genes to be expressed
43
How does the SIS response affect a prophage?
DNA damage activates RecA protein leading to activated RecA protein triggers phage repressors to self-destruct
44
Similar to the Lex A repressor, phage repressor are triggered undergo _____________ after interaction with activated host RecA protein
autoproteolysis
45
loss of phage repressor leads to initiation of prophage from the _______ and subsequent lytic growth
bacterial chromosome
46
host chromosomes regions on either side of the prophage integration site can be mistakenly excised and packaged in a phage particle and subsequently delivered to a new bacterium
misexcision
47
who can do specialized transduction
only temperate phages
48
transfer of host bacterial chromosomal DNA limited to the ________ regions of a prophage integration site was ________ and packaged in phage particles and delivered to another bacterium
transfer of host bacterial chromosomal DNA limited to the flanking regions of a prophage integration site was misexcised and packaged in phage particles and delivered to another bacterium
49
transfers phage genes and specific bacterial genes adjacent to the prophage
specialized transduction
50
is the acquisition of a new property (phenotype) by a host bacterium due to establishment of lysogeny by a temperate phage
lysogenic conversion
51
shiga-like toxin
E.coli and lambda phage
52
phage resistance mechanisms [3]
1. alter phage receptor 2. restriction modification systems 3. crispr systems
53
each spacer matches a
phage DNA sequence
54
Guide RNA with an endonuclease will
cleave if there is a match between the strands
