  1. CHAPTER 18 Microbial Models: The Genetics of Viruses and Bacteria

  2. Size Averages Eukaryotic 10 um. Bacteria 1 um. Viruses .1um.

  3. Respiratory infections & pink eye

  4. The human Papillomavirus causes warts and cervical cancer double stranded circular DNA

  5. Adenovirus causes respiratory infections and pink eye

  6. Bacteriophages

  7. Simplified viral reproductive cycle double stranded DNA

  8. Lytic cycle of a T4 phage Parts self- assemble

  9. The lysogenic and lytic reproductive cycles of phage lambda a temperate phage

  10. The reproductive cycle of an enveloped virus with a single stranded RNA genome but not a retrovirus

  11. Structure and Life Cycle of an HIV virus a retrovirus

  12. HIV infection

  13. Ebola virus-too virulent?

  14. Deer mouse

  15. Hanta virus

  16. Vaccines- ”harmless” variations of the virus that initiate the immune system to form memory T-cells and B-cells Synthetic vaccines-made from other viruses usually the smallpox virus with recombinant DNA technology, no possible infection

  17. Tobacco mosaic virus

  18. Tobacco mosaic virus

  19. Viroids Tiny molecules of naked circular RNA. They do not encode proteins but they can replicate in host cells using the hosts cells enzymes. They seem to only affect plants. Some how they disrupt metabolism of the plants and cause errors in regulation of protein synthesis. Affects tomatoes, potatoes, and palm trees

  20. Prions Infectious protein molecules that can somehow replicate in cells. They cause degenerative brain diseases. They cause scrapie in sheep, “mad cow disease” or bovine spongiform encephalitis, and Creutzfeldt Jacob disease in humans. Cause the normal form of a protein to fold up wrong and thus become a prion.

  21. RESTRICTION ENZYMESRESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASES Produced by bacteria for protection from viruses, they cut DNA at specific recognition sites and prevent it from taking over the cell. They can all be called endonucleases. They often make uneven cuts that leave short single-stranded pieces on each end called “sticky ends” How do bacteria keep their own DNA from being cut by their restriction enzymes? Methylate their restriction sites How are restriction enzymes used in recombinant DNA technology?

  22. Normal without an F+ episome Replication of the bacterial chromosome begins at one origin and continues in both directions

  23. Detecting genetic recombination in bacteria So, what happened?

  24. Conjugation and recombination in E. coli Plasmids-small rings of DNA that contain 2 - 30 genes and can replicate on their own when in a cell by rolling circle replication R plasmids contain genes for antibiotic resistance How could several genes for antibiotic resistance end up on the same plasmid? Transposons

  25. Conjugation and recombination in E. coli

  26. Conjugation and recombination in E. coli

  27. F-pili

  28. Insertion of a transposon and creation of direct repeats

  29. Anatomy of a composite transposon

  30. The trp operon a Repressible Operon Tryptophan absent, repressor inactive, operon on

  31. The trp operon a Repressible Operon Tryptophan present, repressoractive

  32. The trp operon a Repressible Operon Tryptophan present, repressor active, operon off

  33. The lac opreron: an inducible operon for enzymes that are only needed occasionally

  34. What would happen if a mutation to the regulator gene produced a defective repressor protein? What would happen to the levels of the mRNA and the enzymes after all available lactose was digested?

  35. Smallpox

  36. Measles

  37. Measles

  38. Polio
