Plasmid cloning vectors • Three important features • Cloning site • Ori-an origin of replication • A selectable marker (ampr)
Cloning foreign DNA into a plasmid vector Alkaline phosphatase-removes 5’ phosphate (P) groups of DNA molecules; BAP is more stable but less active than CIP T4 DNA ligase–joins 5’ phosphate (P) groups of DNA molecules to 3’ hydroxyl (OH) groups of DNA
Screening a genomic library using DNA hybridization to a (radio-)labeled DNA probeNote: a cDNA is commonly (radio-)labeled and used as a DNA probe to screen a genomic library
Production of a (radio-)labeled DNA probe by the random primer method [uses the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase] 5’ 3’ 5’ 3’ 3’ 5’
The first step in making a cDNA library: Purification of polyadenylated mRNA using oligo(dT)-cellulose Note: selection of the proper source (organ, tissue) of the RNA is critical here!
Complementary DNA or cDNA cloning:cDNA library constructionNote: ds cDNAs are typically placed in a cloning vector such as bacteriophage lambda (l) or a plasmid
There are several possible ways to screen a cDNA library Using a DNA probe with a homologous sequence (e.g., a homologous cDNA or gene clone from a related species) Using an oligonucleotide probe based on a known amino acid sequence (requires purification of the protein and some peptide sequencing) Using an antibody against the protein of interest (note: this requires use of an expression vector) Plus/minus or differential screening (the least specific way)
Screening a cDNA library using DNA hybridization to a (radio-)labeled DNA probe
Screening a cDNA library with a labeled oligonucleotide probe based on a known peptide sequence
Using polynucleotide kinase andg-32P-labeled ATP to radiolabel oligonucleotide probes
Immunological screening of an expression cDNA library with a primary antibody and labeled secondary antibody; note the label is often an enzyme label like alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase, but it can also be 125INote: see also MCB Chapter 9 for a related animation http://bcs.whfreeman.com/lodish5e/pages/bcs-main.asp?v=category&s=00010&n=09000&i=09010.04&o=|00510|00610|00520|00530|00540|00560|00570|00590|00600|00700|00710|00010|00020|00030|00040|00050|01000|02000|03000|04000|05000|06000|07000|08000|09000|10000|11000|12000|13000|14000|15000|16000|17000|18000|19000|20000|21000|22000|23000|99000|&ns=589
