Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the formation of blood clots and is taken regularly by individuals with a heart condition. Steroids such as cortisol are used to control some autoimmune diseases and severe arthritis by down regulating the inflammatory response. After reading the role of inflammation in the bodys response to infection, can you predict an undesirable consequence of taking anti inflammatory drugs on a regular basis?

a. Compare and contrast the Sec and Tat systems in bacteria. b. Why do Gram-negative bacteria need one- and two-step secretion systems? What is the difference between these two systems? c. There has been a recent outbreak of a bacterial infection in humans that causes high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. You identify the cause of this infection as a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium called Bacterium Q, or, more specifically, the Q toxin secreted by this bacterium. Make a hypothesis about the type of secretion system this pathogen has and explain how this secretion system works to secrete Q toxin.
Therapeutic agents are currently being investigated that block the action of selectins in order to prevent the pathological effects resulting from leukocyte entry into sites of inflammation. These agents are molecules that inhibit selectin. Describe molecules that might be effective. (Information: Glycoproteins are an important class of proteins. There are many families of glycoproteins: lectins and selectins are examples.)
