Resource summary
IN VIVO CLONING
What is in vivo cloning
isolation and the amplification of an individual gene sequence
by insertion of that sequence into an organism where it can be replicated
involves the construction of novel DNA molecules by joining DNA from different sources
product is recombinant DNA
why clone DNA
A particular gene can be isolated and its nucleotide sequence determined
Control sequences of DNA can be identified and analysed
Protein, Enzymes, RNA functions can be investigated
Mutations can be identified e.g. gene defects
Organisms can be engineered for specific purpose
how is DNA cloned
Cell based DNA cloning
Cell free DNA cloning e.g. PCR
restriction enzymes
role of restriction enzymes
only found in prokaryotes
endonucleases and ubiquitous
over 100 enzymes have bee nisolated from bacteria
nomenclature e.g. Eco RI and
why do bacteria produce these enzymes
Protection from foreign DNA--- phages (bacterial viruses)
restriction endonucleases
host enzymes that prevent the invasion of foreign DNA such as viral DNA by cutting them up
Restriction
these enzymes cut away at the foreign DNA rather than chewing them away from the ends
Endo nucleuses
these enzymes recognise a specific DNA sequence (4-12bp) which is twofold symmetry and cut both DNA strands
Vector features
must contain a replicon that enables it to replicate host cells
Several Marker genes
Unique cleavage sites
for expression must contain control elements such as promoters terminators ribosome binding sites
vectors
must have an origin of replication
allow the vector as well as the DNA to amplify the host cell
antibiotic resistant genes
allow host cell to grow on selective media
can selectively amplify this specific vector in the host cell
multiple cloning sites
allow insertion of foreign DNA
cloning a gene in a bacteria plasmid
isolation of vector and gene source DNA
insertion of DNA in vector
introduction of cloning vector into cells
cloning of cells and foreign genes
identification of cell clonescarrying the gene of interest
DNA can be inserted into the cell by...
Transformation
Electroporation
Protoplast fusion
Microinjection
Gene gun
disadvantages to using bacterial host cells
May not be able to use information in a eukaryotic gene
due to prokaryotes and eukaryotes use different enzymes and regulatory mechanisms during transcription and translation
cant make the post-translational modifications required to produce some eukaryotic proteins
SLIDES 27-33 ARE NOT INCLUDES IN THIS CONEPT MAP
