Based on these data, where would you MOST likely find toll-like receptor-XX (TLR-XX) among the following options? Justify WHY you selected that option.Your justification must be based on the data that are presented here, not the type of bacteria.
A. On the cell surface
B. In the endosome/ lysosome
C. In the nucleus
D. In the mitochondria
E. In the endoplasmic reticulum
Tuberclosis is a chronic respiratory condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a highly contagious bacterium. People
with tuberculosis will often have a persistent (sometimes bloody) cough, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. M. tuberculosis
produces a protein we will call "X." A new test for tuberculosis checks for X antibodies in a person's blood. If the antibodies
are present, the result is positive. Why would X antibodies be present in someone's blood What specific kind of cells would
produce them?
Virus infections induce production of interferons that act on infected cells to enhance their recognition by CD8 cytotoxic T cells. To counter these mechanisms, viruses often encode proteins that interfere with antigen processing and presentation. In an experiment, cells infected with Virus X are treated with interferon and compared with uninfected cells treated with interferon. Proteasomes are isolated from the two cell populations and their enzymatic activities are compared. The data in figure below show the amino acid preferences for cleavage of peptides by the two samples of proteasomes.
Based on these data, Virus X most likely encodes a protein that interferes with:
The expression of MHC class I on the surface of the infected cell
The rate at which peptides are produced from intact proteins in the infected cell
The transport of peptides from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum in the infected cell
The replacement of constitutive proteasome subunits with immunoproteasome…

- An outbreak of Ebola between 2014 and 2016 resulted in 28,616 cases and 11,310 deaths in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. An additional 36 cases and 15 deaths were reported outside these 3 countries. This deadly disease urged the need for extensive research on Ebola to better understand and treat the disease and prevent future outbreaks. Ebola is a - SSRNA virus. What does this mean for how it is converted into proteins? Does this virus require additional machinery to be infectious? Can you hypothesize based on how it replicates in the cell what scientists might hope to target for treatment or prevention of Ebola?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the most likely explanation for an individual who lacks CCR5 as a result of a homozygous defect in the CCR5 gene becoming infected with HIV? a. The mutated CCR5 genes reverted to the normal form, rendering macrophages susceptible to macrophagetropic HIV variants. b. The macrophage-tropic HIV variant entered host cells using CD4 alone. c. The viral nucleic acid alone was taken up by cells, as in cell transformation by bacterial DNA. d. The individual had received a transplant of HIV-infected cells expressing normal CCR5. e. The primary infection involved a lymphocyte-tropic strain of HIV that used CXCR4 as its co-receptor.arrow_forwardA study is performed in persons with an immunodeficiency disease in which activation of macrophages and B cells by CD4 cells is ineffective.
