Presentation Transcript

  1. Verify recombination by electrophoresis. • Digest of rfp gene. • Transform bacteria with recombinant plasmid. • Recombination (ligation) of plasmid and rfp gene. • Induce expression of rfp gene. • Observe bacteria. • Digest of plasmid

  2. Journal 12.02.11 • Copy the steps on the other slide in the correct order. • Flip the pages in the book: which steps correspond to labs 2a, 4a, 5a? • At which step is there a process of gene expression? • (Can be answered in 3 columns)

  3. DO: Lab 2a – Restriction digest • 1. Mix reagents, as described in page 2a.3 • Reaction buffer mix • Plasmid • Water (to one test tube) • Add enzyme: from teacher. • 2. Place at 37oC for at least 1 hour.

  4. PreLab 2a – Q & A • Animation: Plasmid digestion • Group papers: • Lab 1 – Conclusions page 1.6 • Lab 2a – Conclusions page 2a.4 • Pour Gel (not in 2013)

  5. http://Plasmid Recombination Gene Cloning Animation

  6. pARA-R construct Recombinant plasmid of interest pARA-R 4720 bp BamH I rfp 702bp Hind III

  7. rfp – Gene for Red Fluorescent Protein, originally from the Sea Anemone Discosoma sp.

  8. To presenting students: The following slide is from the alternative lab sequence, where students also performed the ligation step. The two plasmids: One served as the ‘source’ of the rfp gene, and one as the ‘vector’ which would turn into our pARA-R.

  9. Restriction analysis of pKAN-R and pARA Bruce Wallace pKAN-R BamHI 5,512 bp pARA PBAD-rfp 806 bp 4,872 bp BamHI HindIII 376 bp HindIII

  10. Restriction analysis of pKAN-R and pARA Bruce Wallace Restriction fragments after digest with Hind III and BamH I BamH I Hind III 4,706 bp BamH I Hind III 4,496 bp Hind III BamH I 806 bp Hind III BamH I 376 bp

  11. BamH I sticky end Hind III sticky end Hind III sticky end BamH I sticky end Engineering the Plasmid: ligation of rfp gene into p-ARA

  12. Restriction digest of pARA-R Recombinant plasmid of interest pARA-R 4720 bp rfp 702bp BamH I Hind III

  13. To presenting students: • Refer to Lab3 (background and conclusions) in the student guide for more information. • Key points: • Why 70oC incubation (Denaturation – what does this mean?) • What does ligation have to do with ‘recombinant DNA’?
