2) What are defensins? And why do hypomorphs of NOD1/2 (i.e. less functional NOD1/2 proteins)
promote small intestinal inflammation in Crohn’s patients? (4 pts)
Homework Answers
First of all, Defensins are protein crystals that are found in animals (vertebrates and invertebrates) and some plans which work as host defences against fungi, bacteria and some virus. They can be secreted by neutrophils or macrophages which are a part of WBC section of your blood.
Now about the hypomorphs NOD 1/2 can create inflammation in the small intestine of Crohn's patients as it functions in defence of the intestinal epithelium. And in crohn's disease, frequent aberrations leads to a permanent inflammation in the intestine. So, remember, the more the infection on a particular site, the more the inflammation.

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease most often localized to the lower part of the small intestines. It is thought that Crohn’s disease could be an autoimmune disease, because chronic inflammation and activated immune cells are found deep into the intestinal tissue of Crohn’s patients. The chronic inflammation causes the small intestines to swell, which can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, and/or weight loss (due to malnutrition), and if the inflammation is severe enough, the small intestine...

How does quorum sensing promote pathogenesis? Why might this physiology have evolved? What are the different regulatory circuits associated with quorum sensing and how do they compare/contrast for AIP vs. AHL autoinducers? In the various presented quorum sensing systems, which proteins are involved in synthesizing and sensing the autoinducer. What kind of autoinducers (autoinducer peptide vs. AHLs) are associated with specific quorum sensing systems?
