  1. Biotechnology Explorer Program Serious About Science Education

  2. Aequorea victoria

  3. DNA RNA Protein Trait Central Framework of Molecular Biology

  4. Transformation is a natural process that Bacterial have evolved in order to obtain DNA from their environment. • Use of the procedure enables scientists to insert genes by recombinant techniques and place the plasmid into a bacteria for expression

  5. Links to Real-world • study of biological processes (ex. biosynthesis of proteins) • localization of gene expression • cell movement • cell fate during development • formation of different organs • screenable marker to identify transgenic organisms

  6. What is transformation? • Uptake of foreign DNA, often a circular plasmid GFP Amp Resistance

  7. ori bla What is a plasmid? • A circular piece of autonomously replicating DNA • Originally evolved by bacteria • May express antibiotic resistance gene or be modified to express proteins of interest

  8. Steps to Make a Transgenic Bacterium • DNA Extraction- get genome from organism containing gene of interest • Splice gene of interest from genome using a restriction enzyme(RE) - RE, chemical that cuts DNA at a recognition site(short sequence of bases) • Splice bacterial plasmid using same RE - plasmid: circular piece of DNA in bacteria video clip

  9. Plasmid may not be exactly circular

  10. Making recombinant plasmid(rDNA) Red= bacteria DNA Blue= human insulin gene

  11. - Details making recombinant plasmid (rDNA) a. Due to sticky ends, gene can be spliced in b. DNA ligase help nuclotides bond • Combined DNA called rDNA or chimera • Put rDNA back into bacteria and grow in culture

  12. Insertion of Gene of Interest into Plasmid

  14. Using rDNA plasmid to create a transgenic plant

  15. A virus is another biological vector also used to deliver genes

  16. Transgenic Organisms GOAT GOODS. A transgenic goat named Artemis produces in her milk a human-breast–milk compound called lysozyme. Lysozyme destroys bacteria by drilling through their cell walls.E. Scharfen

  22. Procedures Transformation Day 1 Day 2

  23. Transformation Procedure • Suspend bacterial colonies in Transformation Solution • Add pGLO plasmid DNA • Place tubes on ice • Heat shock at 42oC and place on ice • Incubate withnutrient broth • Streak plates

  24. Ca++ O Ca++ O P O Base O O CH2 Sugar O Ca++ O O P Base O O CH2 Sugar OH Reasons for performing each transformation step? • Transformation solution = CaCl2 Positive charge of Ca+2 ions shields negative charge of DNA phosphates

  25. Cell wall GFP Beta lactamase (ampicillin resistance) Why perform each transformation step? • Incubation on iceslows fluid cell membranes • Heat-shockincreases permeability of cell membrane • Nutrient broth incubationallows beta lactamase expression

  26. What is nutrient broth? • Luria-Bertani (LB) broth • Medium that contains nutrients for bacterial growth and gene expression • carbohydrates • amino acids • nucleotides • salts • vitamins

  27. Volume Measurement

  28. LB/Amp LB/Amp/Ara LB Grow? Glow? • Follow protocol • On which plates will colonies grow? • Which colonies will glow?
