Presentation Transcript

  1. Restriction enzymes (endonucleases) • Cleave a specific DNA sequence • Protect bacteria from phage infection by digesting phage DNA after infection. • Cellular DNA is protected by methylases - block restriction enzyme activity
  2. Each organism has a specific set of restriction enzymes: • EcoRI from Escherichia coli • BamHI from Bacillus amyloliqueraciens • PvuI and PvuII are different enzymes from same strain. Ch. 3-1
  3. Restriction enzymes are used for cloning and analyzing DNA fragments
  4. Sequence Recognition and cleavage: a) 5' overhang EcoRI GAATTC G AATTC CTTAAG CTTAA G b) 3' overhang KpnI GGTACC GGTAC C CCATGG C CATGG c) Blunt end SmaI CCCGGG CCC GGG GGGCCC GGG CCC Ch. 3-2
  5. Sticky ends • The overhangs on cleaved DNA can serve as “sticky ends” or unpaired bases that can be used to link pieces of DNA. • Use the same enzyme, or one that leaves the same overhang to cut two DNA sources. • Complementary bases will pair. • Ligase will seal.
  6. Vectors In order to study a DNA fragment (e.g., a gene), it must be amplified and eventually purified. • Do this by cloning the DNA into a vector, generally a small, circular DNA molecule that replicates inside a bacterium such as Escherichia coli. Ch. 1-1
  7. Cloning Scheme Digest Ligate Amplify and Prep 1-1
  8. Vector Types There are three commonly used types of vectors: 1) plasmid vectors (e.g., pUC plasmids) • These are the most common in biotechnology 2) bacteriophage vectors (e.g., phage ) 3) phagemid (hybrid)vectors Each has a different use, and there are many derivatives of these basic building blocks. Ch. 1-1
  9. Plasmids • Circular DNA molecules found in bacteria • Replicated by the host’s machinery independently of the genome. This is accomplished by a sequence on the plasmid called ori, for origin of replication. • Some plasmids are present in E. coli at 200-500 copies/cell
  10. Plasmid Engineering • Plasmids also contain selectable markers: • These are genes encoding proteins which provide a way to rapidly and easily find bacteria containing the plasmid. • Commonly- provide resistance to an antibiotic like ampicillin. • Thus, bacteria will grow on medium containing these antibiotics only if the bacteria contain a plasmid with the appropriate selectable marker. Ch. 1-2
  11. Safety Features • Modern cloning plasmids have been engineered to be incapable of transfer between bacterial cells • Provide a level of biological containment. • Naturally occurring plasmids with their drug resistance genes have produced antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Ch. 1-2
  12. Transforming plasmids Into bacteria Ch. 1-2
  13. Screening for Inserts • Transform bacteria with plasmids containing gene for ampicillin resistance; small number will transform. • Spread bacteria on plates containing nutrient agar and ampicillin. • Only transformed cells will survive and form colonies. 1-3

Restriction Endonucleases Or Restriction Enzymes

Restriction Endonucleases Or Restriction Enzymes

Restriction Endonucleases Or Restriction Enzymes. What Are Restriction Enzymes. They are enzymes that act as molecular scissors because they are able to cut DNA at specific base pairs. Each restriction enzyme recognizes a characteristic sequence of nucleotides, this is the recognition site.

Restriction Enzymes/endonucleases

Restriction Enzymes/endonucleases

Restriction Enzymes/endonucleases. Restriction enzymes are proteins that scan the DNA for specific sequences, usually palindromic sequences of 4 to 8 nucleotides, and then cleave both strands at that position. Restriction enzymes are molecular scissors – they cut DNA
