Question

How is the inhibition of protein synthesis in prokaryotes? Only in prokariotes, very important.

Answer 1

try rephrasing the question, cause the question u gave is going to require an article

Answer 2

anyway, let me give an example with bacteria which is a prokaryote, inhibition of protein synthesis can be very lethal in any form of life whether prokaryote or not

Inhition of protein systhesis is the act of stopping, slowing or blocking the production of essential protein in the ribosome of an organism, hence interfering with its survival and growth of cell.

A lot of antibacterial durgs work this way and they usually attack the ribosome.

U can read up more on this stuff i got

Answer 3

Yes, that's true sorry, English isn't my first language. I know about antibacterial drugs but is there another way?
Again, sorry for my English

Answer 4

No worries English dosen't matter in Science Subject. The thing matters is the concept.

Answer 5

well, when i say anti biotic i don't just mean drugs

Anything that can inhibit protein synthesis in an organism can result in death and other abnormalities and is therefore anti to that organism, some of the inhibitors, the organism they affect and their action include

1. Tetracycline

prokaryotic

Inhibits aminoacyl-tRNA binding

2. Penicillin

prokaryotic

Inhibits transpeptidation enzymes involved in the cross-linking of polysacchride chains of the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan

3. Chloramphenicol

prokaryotic

Binds to 50S subunit, blocks peptidyl transferase activity

4. Erythromycin

prokaryotic

Binds to 50S subunit, blocks peptidyl transferase activity

5. Rifampin

prokaryotic

Blocks RNA synthesis by binding to and inhibiting the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase

6. Bacitran

prokaryotic

Inhibits cell wall synthesis by interferring with action of the lipid carrier that transports wall precursors accross plasma membrane.

7. Thiostrepton

prokaryotic

Inhibits ribosome-dependent EF-Tu and EF-G GTPase

8. Puromycin

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic

Aminoacyl-tRNA analog, which acts as a peptidyl acceptor, aborting further peptide elongation

9. Sulfonamides

prokaryotic

Inhibit folic acid synthesis by competition with p-aminobenzoic acid

10. Streptomycin

prokaryotic

codon misreading, insertion of improper amino acid Prevents formation of initiation complex
