  2. Gene Cloning The Role of Restriction Endonuclease

  3. Vectors Plasmids : carriers that allow replication of recombinant DNAs

  4. r: resistant s: sensitive

  5. lacZ’: b-galactosidase X-gal: synthetic substrate for b-galactosidase MCS: multiple cloning sites Blue/white color selection

  6. Enhance of the cloning efficiency: dephosphorylation of the 5’-phophate in the vector by alkaline phosphatase to prevent self-ligation

  7. Action of DNA ligase 5’ Base Base O O O OH _ Restriction Enzyme O O P _ O DNA ligase _ O O O P Base CH2 O O Base CH2 O 3’

  8. Phages as Vectors • replacement vectors *up to 20 kb of DNA can be cloned. *construction of genomic libraries *Charon 4: (12 kb< inserts <20 kb) Cosmids * cohesive ends of l phage DNA * plasmid origin of replication * up to 40-50 kb of DNA can be cloned

  9. M13 phage vectors * derived from filamentous phage M13 * contains lacZ’gene and MCS * DNA can be cloned in a single-strand form (introduction of site-specific mutation)

  10. Phagemids * contains ori of filamentous phage f1, lacZ’gene and MCS * DNA can be cloned in a single-strand form via the help with f1 helper phage * contains T7 and T3 phage promoter for phage RNA polymerase (in vitro transcription to produce RNA transcripts)

  11. Identifying a specific clone with a specific probe • Poly(oligo)nucleotide probes • Antibodies • To probe the gene what we want: • Homologous gene from another organism • *Low/high stringency for hybridization of oligonucleotide probes to targets • *High stringency: high temperature, high organic concentration, • low salt concentration • b. Degenerate primers from known amino acid sequence of target protein U G U UGG AUG UUC AAA AAC GA Trp Met Phe Lys Asn Glu

  12. The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) *Kary Mullis in the 1980s *Taq polymerase from Thermus aquaticus *Thermal cycler 95oC 40oC 72oC 20x

  13. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1993 Press Release 13 October 1993 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for contributions to the development of methods within DNA-based chemistry,with half toDr Kary B. Mullis, La Jolla, California, U.S.A., for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method,and half toProfessor Michael Smith, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, for his fundamental contributions to the establishment of oligonucleotide-based, site-directed mutagenesis and its development for protein studies. Decisive progress in gene technology through two new methods: the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and site-directed mutagenesis Kary B. Mullis Michael Smith

  29. Real-Time PCR • Real-time PCR quantifies the amplification of the DNA as it occurs • As DNA strands separate, anneal to forward and reverse primers, and to fluorescent-tagged oligonucleotide complementary to part of one DNA strand

  30. Fluorescent Tags in Real-Time PCR • This fluorescent-tagged oligonucleotide serves as a reporter probe • Fluorescent tag at 5’-end • Fluorescence quenching tag at 3’-end • With PCR rounds the 5’ tag is separated from the 3’ tag • Fluorescence increases with incorporation into DNA product

  31. Real-Time PCR --- RT-PCR Reverse-transcription PCR --- RT-PCR Quantitative real-Time PCR --- QRT-PCR, qRT-PCR

  32. Real-time polymerase chain reaction Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) Kinetic polymerase chain reaction A process used to amplify and simultaneously quantify a targeted DNA molecule. It enables both detection and quantification (as absolute number of copies or relative amount when normalized to DNA input or additional normalizing genes) of a specific sequence in a DNA sample (1) Real-time PCR using double-stranded DNA dyes (2) Fluorescent reporter probe method

  35. (2) Fluorescent reporter probe method TaqMan assay (named after TaqDNA polymerase) was one of the earliest methods introduced for real time PCR reaction monitoring and has been widely adopted for both the quantification of mRNAs and for detecting variation. The method exploits the 5' endonuclease activity of Taq DNA polymerase to cleave an oligonucleotide probe during PCR, thereby generating a detectable signal.
