  1. Chapter 20 DNA Transformation A. P. Biology Mr. Knowles Liberty Senior High School

  2. pGLO™ Transformation and Purification of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)

  3. DNA RNA Protein Trait Central Framework of Molecular Biology

  4. The Central Dogma Trait (phenotype)

  5. Using GFP as a biological tracer http://www.conncoll.edu/ccacad/zimmer/GFP-ww/prasher.html With permission from Marc Zimmer

  6. Real-World Applications Links to Real-world • GFP is a visual marker • Study of biological processes (example: synthesis of proteins) • Localization and regulation of gene expression • Cell movement • Cell fate during development • Formation of different organs • Screenable marker to identify transgenic organisms

  7. GFP Transformed into Bacteria

  8. Applications of GFP

  9. GFP in a Plant, Arabadopsis

  10. GFP in a Mouse

  11. Genetically Engineered Fish

  12. Bacterial DNA Bacterial cell Plasmid DNA Genomic DNA

  13. What is a plasmid? • An extrachromosomal, circular piece of autonomously replicating DNA. • Originally evolved by bacteria. • May express an antibiotic resistance gene or be modified to express proteins of interest.

  14. The Many Faces of Plasmids • Plasmids act as vectors – carriers for foreign DNA fragments (genes) that have been inserted into them and then propagated. • Usually put into cells to make the desired protein. Graphic representation Scanning electron micrograph of supercoiled plasmid

  15. GeneExpression • Beta Lactamase • Ampicillin resistance • Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) • Aequorea victoria jellyfish gene • araC regulator protein • Regulates GFP transcription pBAD

  16. pGLO

  17. Bacterial Transformation Cell wall GFP Flagellum Bacterial chromosomal DNA Beta lactamase (ampicillin resistance) pGLO plasmids

  18. What is Transformation? • Uptake of foreign DNA, often a circular plasmid. • May involve bacteria or many eukaryotic types of cells. • Process of copying genes of interest and making proteins from them. GFP Beta-lactamase Ampicillin Resistance

  19. Transformation Procedure Overview Day 2 Day 1

  20. Transcriptional Regulation • Lactose operon • Arabinose operon • pGLO plasmid

  23. Methods of Transformation • Electroporation • Electrical shock makes cell membranes permeable to DNA • Calcium Chloride/Heat-Shock • Chemically-competent cells uptake DNA after heat shock

  24. Transformation Procedure • Suspend bacterial colonies in Transformation solution • Add pGLO plasmid DNA • Place tubes on ice • Heat-shock at 42°C and place on ice • Incubate with nutrient broth • Streak plates

  25. Reasons for Performing Each Transformation Step? Ca++ O Ca++ O P O Base • Transformation solution = CaCI2 Positive charge of Ca++ ions shields negative charge of DNA phosphates O O CH2 Sugar O Ca++ O O P Base O O CH2 Sugar OH

  26. Why Perform Each Transformation Step? Cell wall GFP 2. Incubate on ice slows fluid cell membrane 3. Heat-shock Increases permeability of membranes 4. Nutrient broth incubation Allows beta-lactamase expression Beta-lactamase (ampicillin resistance)

  27. What is Nutrient Broth? • Luria-Bertani (LB) broth • Medium that contains nutrients for bacterial growth and gene expression • Carbohydrates • Amino acids • Nucleotides • Salts • Vitamins • We will have THREE Types of Agar Plates: • LB only • LB + Amp • LB + Amp + Arabinose

  28. LB/Amp LB/Amp/Ara LB Grow?Glow? • Follow protocol • On which plates will colonies grow? • Which colonies will glow?
