  3. DNA Modifying Enzymes • Restriction Enzymes • The restriction/modification system functions as a type of immune system for individual bacterial strains, protecting them from infection by foreign DNA (e.g. viruses).

  4. W. Arber and S. Linn (1969) • Plating efficiencies of bacteriophage lambda (l phage) grown on E. coli strains C, K-12 and B: K-12 and B were protected from bacteriophage. • The DNA of phage which had been grown on strains K-12 and B were found to have chemically modified bases which were methylated. • Additional studies with other strains indicate that different strains had specific methylated bases. • Typical sites of methylation include theN6 position of adenine, the N4 position of cytosine, or the C5 position of cytosine. • Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA

  5. Enzymes used in recombinant DNA technology • Nucleases • Restriction endonucleases • S1 nucleases • Lamda exonucleases • E.coli exonucleases III • Exonuclease Bal31 • Ligases • Polymerases • Reverse transcriptase • E.coli DNA Polymerase I (klenow fragment) • DNA modifying enzymes • Alkaline Phosphatase • T4 Polynucleotide kinase • Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase

  6. Nucleases • Restriction endonucleases • Type II cut DNA at specific sites • S1 nucleases • Used for removal of single stranded protrusions from 5 prime and 3 prime ends • Lamdaexonucleases • Removes one nucleotide from 5 prime end • E.coliexonucleases III • Removal of single nucleotide at a time from 3 prime end • ExonucleaseBal31 • to make blunt ends shorter from 5 prime and 3 prime ends • Ligases • To seal the nicks by forming phosphodiester bond

  7. Polymerases • Reverse transcriptase • To make cDNA from mRNAs • E.coli DNA Polymerase I (klenow fragment) • To make protruding end double stranded by extending short strands • DNA modifying enzymes • Alkaline Phosphatase • To remove 5 prime phosphate from DNA • T4 Polynucleotide kinase • For adding phosphate group to 5 prime free OH end • Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase • For addition of ss sequence to 3 prime end of blunt ended fragments
