Document Summary

To prepare large quantities of identical dna: vector + dna fragment = insert, recombinant dna (any dna molecule derived from different sources, replication within host cells, isolation, sequencing, manipulation of purified dna fragment. Hundreds of restriction enzymes each recognizing a specific target sequence and making a specific cut. Dna cloning: joining of two molecules having compatible termini by dna ligase. Plasmid vector + dna fragment to be cloned recombinant plasmid: transformation and selection. Recombinant plasmid + e. coli plasmids in presence of cacl2 (heat pulse) culture on nutrient agar plates containing ampicillin. Cells that do not take up plasmid die on ampicillin plates. Dna libraries cdna = complementary dna ie. complementary to an mrna sequence: initially single stranded but easily converted to double-stranded. Genomic dna libraries: mixture of chromosomal dna fragments clone in vector bacteriophages/cosmids (propagated by infecting bacteria or in bacs. Need a promoter to drive transcription of the inserted protein-coding dna.

Assume that you are trying to insert a gene into a plasmid andsomeone gives you a DNA sample cut with restriction enzyme X. Thegene you wish to insert from the given sample has sites on bothends for cutting by restriction enzyme Y. You have a plasmid with asingle site for Y, but not for X. Your strategy should be to

cut the plasmid with restriction enzyme X and insert thefragments cut with Y into the plasmid.

cut the plasmid with enzyme X and then insert the gene into theplasmid.

cut the DNA again with restriction enzyme Y and insert thesefragments into the plasmid cut with the same enzyme.

cut the plasmid twice with restriction enzyme Y and ligate thetwo fragments onto the ends of the human DNA fragments cut withrestriction enzyme X.

insert the fragments cut with X directly into the plasmidwithout cutting the plasmid.

What is NOT a potential problem(s) associated with usingbacteria containing a cloned eukaryotic gene (e.g. a human gene) toproduce a functional protein?

If the eukaryotic gene contains introns the bacteria will notremove them and the resulting amino acid sequence will be differentthat that made by a eukaryote.

The bacteria may not fold the protein correctly.

The bacteria may degrade the protein.

All of the above are potential problems.
