Enzyme Transformation? Avery, MacLeod and McCarty • 1944 Avery, MacLeod and McCarty decided to repeat Griffith’s 1928 experiment and try to discover the “transforming factor” • They did this by using extracts from the heat- killed cells and digesting specific classes of molecules with enzymes Lippase Yes Protease Yes Saccharase Yes Nuclease No
H H O O OH H2N C C H2N C C NH2 Methionine Cysteine OH OH P O HO CH2 CH2 O Some amino acids contain sulfur, thus proteins contain sulfur, but not phosphorous. SH CH2 Nucleotides contain phosphorous, thus DNA contains phosphorous, but not sulfur. S CH3 H OH The Hershey-Chase Experiment • The Hershey-Chase experiment showed definitively that DNA is the genetic material • Hershey and Chase took advantage of the fact that T2 phage is made of only two things: Protein and DNA
T2 grown in S35 containing media incorporate S35 into their proteins Bacteria grown in normal non-radioactive media T2 attach to bacteria and inject genetic material Mix-O-Matic Blending causes phage protein coat to fall off Using S35 When centrifuged, phage protein coats remain in the supernatant while bacteria form a pellet The supernatant is radioactive, but the pellet is not. Did protein enter the bacteria? Is protein the genetic material?
T2 grown in P32 containing media incorporate P32 into their DNA Bacteria grown in normal non-radioactive media T2 attach to bacteria and inject genetic material Mix-O-Matic Blending causes phage protein coat to fall off Using P32 When centrifuged, phage protein coats remain in the supernatant while bacteria form a pellet The pellet is radioactive, but the supernatant is not. Did DNA enter the bacteria? Is DNA the genetic material?

When it sees an RNA/DNA hybrid, it chops out the RNA and some DNA in the 5’ to 3’ direction. DNA Polymerase falls off leaving a nick. Ligase The nick is removed when DNA ligase joins (ligates) the DNA fragments.
