Recombinant DNA • 1970’s • Combining genes from different sources • Even different species • Combined into single DNA • Example: Bacteria & mammal
Recombinant DNA • Genetically modified bacteria • Mass produce beneficial chemicals • Insulin • Growth hormone • Cancer drugs • Pesticides
Plasmid • Small separate circular DNA • Replicated same as main DNA • Foreign DNA added to plasmid • Replicated along with plasmid
Recombinant DNA • Nucleases: • Enzymes that degrade DNA • Restriction endonulceases: • Restriction enzymes • Cut DNA into fragments • Specific points
Recombinant DNA • Restriction sites: • Places where DNA is cut • Short DNA sequence
Recombinant DNA • Restriction enzyme • Recognizes short sequences in DNA • Cuts at these sequences • Staggered cut • Leaves single-stranded ends • Called “sticky ends”
Recombinant DNA D:\Chapter_20\A_PowerPoint_Lectures\20_Lecture_Presentation\2003RestrictionEnzymesA.html
Recombinant DNA • Sticky ends • Enables insertion of other DNA • DNA fragments from other sources • Match ends by base pairs (complementary sequences) • DNA ligase: • Enzyme combines ends • Forms a phosphodiester bond
Recombinant DNA (Process) • 1. Isolate gene of interest & bacterial plasmid • 2. Cut DNA & plasmid into fragments • 3. Mix DNA fragments with cut plasmid. • Fragment with gene of interest is inserted into the plasmid • 4. Recombinant plasmid is mixed with bacteria
Recombinant DNA (Process) • 5. Bacteria with recombinant DNA reproduce • 6. Isolate bacterial clones that contain gene of interest • Producing protein of interest • 7. Grow large quantities of bacteria that produce the protein

Recombinant DNA • Vector: • DNA molecule that carry foreign DNA • Enters & replicates in the host • Plasmids & phages are common vectors • Phages are larger than plasmid • Can handle inserts up to 40 kilobases
PCR • Polymerase chain reaction • Amplify DNA • Makes large quantities of DNA • 1985
PCR • Heated • Denatured • DNA primer • Heat stable DNA polymerase • Makes DNA

Gel electrophoresis • Study DNA • Polymer (gel) • Restriction fragments • Separates DNA based on charge & size • Nucleic acids negative charge (Phosphates) • Migrate towards + end (red)

Cloning • Multicellular organisms come from a single cell. • Offspring are identical
Cloning • 1950 • Carrots • Totipotent: • Mature cells that undifferentiated • Give rise to any type of cells • Common in plants
Cloning • Nuclear transplantation • Nucleus of an unfertilized/fertilized egg is removed • Replaced with nucleus of differentiated cell • Direct development of cell into tissues etc.
Cloning • Removed nuclei from an egg • Mammary cells • Fused with egg cells • Dolly, 1997, identical to mammary cell donor • Died prematurely age 6 • Arthritis & lung disease

Cloning • Few develop normally • Abnormalities • Epigenetic changes to the chromatin • More methylation of chromatin • Reprogram chromatin of differentiated cell
Stem cells • Started 1998 at UW • Early embryonic cells • Potential to become any type of cell • Master cell generates specialized cells • Such as muscle cells, bone cells, or blood cells
Stem cells • Embryos • Bone marrow • Umbilical cord blood • Blood stem cells • ?? Turn skin cells into embryonic stem cells • Therapeutic cloning

Medical applications • Genetic markers • Detect abnormal disease • SNP • Single nucleotide polymorphisms • Single base pair site where variation is found • RFLP • Restriction fragment length polymorphisms

Medical applications • Gene therapy • Treat genetic defects • Alters person’s genes • 2 girls with rare blood disease • CF (vectors are viruses) • SCID (immune disorder) • Injected viral DNA with normal gene

Medical applications • Transgenic animal • Gene from one animal is inserted into another • Goat milk protein anti-thrombin • Isolated from milk • “pharm” animals
Animals • Transgenic animals engineered for specific traits • Genetically create a racehorse • Not have to breed • Sheep with better wool??
Agricultural applications • Manipulate tomatoes • Do not ripen as fast • “Flavr-Savr” • Slows down ethylene production
