Document Summary

Dna into a host cell and replicate there: compare genes and alleles btw individual. Hydrogen bonds btw complementary bases are disrupted, yielding single-stranded dna molecules (cid:609) annealing. Allow annealing of primers (made of dna nucleotides) to single-stranded dna template by complementary base paring (cid:610) extension/ replication. Thermostabile dna polymerase (taq polymerase; pfu polymerase) synthesizes a new. Dna strand in 5-to-3 direction by adding dntpss. Produces an exponentially growing popu of identical dna molecules. Allows ampli cation a speci c dna region in a test tube (in vitro) from extremely tiny amount of dna sample. Dna nucleotides, template dna (3-to-5), primers, thermostable dna polymerase, pcr bu er, magnesium. 2^x = exponential increase by x cycles. Dna polymerase i: made up of dna nucleotides. Helicase/ single-stranded binding proteins: high heat breaks its hydrogen bonds. Topoisomerase: high heat makes no chance of torsional stress.

1. You have cloned a human gene along with its promoter and ribosome-binding site in a bacterial cloning vector and then introduced the recombinant plasmid into a bacterial host cell that supports the replication and segregation of the cloning vector. Unfortunately, even though you know the whole human gene sequence is present (by DNA hybridization); you cannot get expression of the gene. Which of the following is not a reason why there is no expression?

A. The vector cannot replicate

B. The human promoter is not recognized by the bacterial host cell

C. The ribosome-binding site is not recognized by the bacterial host cell

D. The human gene lacks introns, so it is not transcribed by the host bacterium

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.
