IN VIVO CLONING
  1. What is in vivo cloning
    1. isolation and the amplification of an individual gene sequence
      1. by insertion of that sequence into an organism where it can be replicated
        1. involves the construction of novel DNA molecules by joining DNA from different sources
          1. product is recombinant DNA
    2. why clone DNA
      1. A particular gene can be isolated and its nucleotide sequence determined
        1. Control sequences of DNA can be identified and analysed
          1. Protein, Enzymes, RNA functions can be investigated
            1. Mutations can be identified e.g. gene defects
              1. Organisms can be engineered for specific purpose
      2. how is DNA cloned
        1. Cell based DNA cloning
          1. Cell free DNA cloning e.g. PCR
          2. restriction enzymes
            1. role of restriction enzymes
              1. only found in prokaryotes
                1. endonucleases and ubiquitous
                2. over 100 enzymes have bee nisolated from bacteria
                  1. nomenclature e.g. Eco RI and
                  2. why do bacteria produce these enzymes
                    1. Protection from foreign DNA--- phages (bacterial viruses)
                3. restriction endonucleases
                  1. host enzymes that prevent the invasion of foreign DNA such as viral DNA by cutting them up
                    1. Restriction
                    2. these enzymes cut away at the foreign DNA rather than chewing them away from the ends
                      1. Endo nucleuses
                      2. these enzymes recognise a specific DNA sequence (4-12bp) which is twofold symmetry and cut both DNA strands
                      3. Vector features
                        1. must contain a replicon that enables it to replicate host cells
                          1. Several Marker genes
                            1. Unique cleavage sites
                              1. for expression must contain control elements such as promoters terminators ribosome binding sites
                            2. vectors
                              1. must have an origin of replication
                                1. allow the vector as well as the DNA to amplify the host cell
                                  1. antibiotic resistant genes
                                    1. allow host cell to grow on selective media
                                      1. can selectively amplify this specific vector in the host cell
                                        1. multiple cloning sites
                                          1. allow insertion of foreign DNA
                                          2. cloning a gene in a bacteria plasmid
                                            1. isolation of vector and gene source DNA
                                              1. insertion of DNA in vector
                                                1. introduction of cloning vector into cells
                                                  1. cloning of cells and foreign genes
                                                    1. identification of cell clonescarrying the gene of interest
                                            2. DNA can be inserted into the cell by...
                                              1. Transformation
                                                1. Electroporation

                                                      1. Gene gun
                                                      2. disadvantages to using bacterial host cells
                                                        1. May not be able to use information in a eukaryotic gene
                                                          1. due to prokaryotes and eukaryotes use different enzymes and regulatory mechanisms during transcription and translation
                                                          2. cant make the post-translational modifications required to produce some eukaryotic proteins
