Relative size Differences between of Viruses, Prokaryotes, and Eukaryotes
Transformation • Uptake of foreign DNA from the environment • What we did in our lab (pGLO plasmid)
Conjugation and the transfer of the F Plasmid http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter20/animations.html
Intro. Q’s #5 for Chapter 20: Genetic Engineering What does the acronym PCR stand for and what does this process do? What does Gel electrophoresis allow us to do? Give two applications of DNA profiling. What are the advantages and disadvantages of genetic screening? How is a cDNA library different from a genomic library? (p. 388-390) Name two “vectors” that can be used for gene transfer. Give two examples of a genetically modified crop or animal. Briefly explain the process of gene therapy and give an example how it works. Explain what a clone is and how it could be formed. What are some of the ethical concerns about cloning? Give your opinion if you think cloning is something we shouldbe doing.
Introductory Questions #6 • How is Transduction different from conjugation? How is an “F plasmid” different from an “R plasmid”? • What are transposable elements and what do they do? What purpose do the insertion sequences play? • Name the two scientists that discovered the Lac operon system. What is the difference between an operator and a promoter? • How are repressible operons different from inducible operons? Give an example of each. • Name three example of a virus that has DNA as its genetic material and three examples of Viruses with RNA as its genetic material. • Briefly explain what a vaccine is and what it does. • From Ch. 19 (pg. 361) place these structures in correct order based on diameter size beginning with the smallest: -histone -chromatid -nucleosome -DNA • Name the organism that Barbara McClintock used to propose the idea of mobile genetic units (transposons). (pg. 375) • What is the difference between an oncogene and a tumor suppressor gene? Which one would the p53 gene qualify as? (pgs. 370-373)
Insertion Sequences & Transposable Elements (pgs. 351-352) • Always a part of of chromosomal or plasmid DNA • Sometimes called “jumping genes”-never detach • Inverted sequences are on each side of an insertion sequences. (See pg. 352) • A single gene for coded for: transposase Specialized plasmids are constructed using these sequences. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter20/animations.html
Jacob & Monod • Discovered Lac Operon • Nobel Prize for Discovering Control of Gene Expression
Specialized Genes • Operator = "on/off" switch for operon • Regulator = makes repressors to turn off an entire operon • Repressor = Binds to operator, turn off gene expression • Inducer = Joins with an active repressor, activates it • Co-repressor = Joins with inactive repressor, converts it to active
OPERON THEORY • Operon = group of structural genes regulated as a unit • Several genes controlled by an operator site
Operon Complex • RNA Polymerase must bind to the promoter site and continue past the operator site to transcribe mRNA
Repressible Operons (trp operon) • Usually “ON” - to turn OFF: • Co-repressor needs to bind to an inactive repressor and activate it • RNA Polymerase then cannot bind and transcribe mRNA Ex. trp operon is a repressible operon: -trancription is usually on -inhibited only by tryptophan (corepressor)
Trp Operon when Tryptophan is Absenthttp://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter18/animations.html#
INDUCIBLE Operons (ex. lac operon) • Usually “OFF” - to turn ON: • INDUCER needs to bind to an active repressor and inactivate it • RNA Polymerase can then bind and transcribe mRNA Ex. Lac operon is an inducible operon
Lac Operon • Lactose ONLY used when glucose is not present in large quantities • When glucose is present, cAMP levels are low, cAMP cannot bind to CAP and initiate enzyme production
Inactive Repressor-Lactose Presenthttp://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072437316/student_view0/chapter18/animations.html
Lac Operon • In absence of glucose, cAMP levels are HIGH, binding to CAP can occur • Beta-Galactosidase is made
Lac Operon • RNA polymerase only binds efficiently when cAMP-CAP complex is in place • Lac Operon = an INDUCIBLE Operon • Lactose = an INDUCER • Binds to repressor and inactivates it
Lytic & Lysogenic Cycles of a Virus(Lysogenic:host is not destroyed)
Examples of Common Viruses DNARNA Herpesvirus Ebola Poxvirus Infuenza Papovirus (warts) HIV Measels, Mumps Rabies West Nile
Key Concepts for Chapter 19 • Review of DNA & Genome 359-362 • Oncogenes & Proto-Oncogenes 370-373 • Tumor Supressor Genes • McClintok’s transposons 375-376
Chromatin Def: complex of DNA and proteins DNA Packing Histone proteins (+ charged amino acids w/ phosphates of DNA that are - charged) Nucleosome -”beads on a string”; basic unit of DNA packing Heterochromatin -highly condensed interphase DNA (can not be transcribed) Euchromatin -less compacted interphase DNA (can be transcribed)
The Biology of Cancer (review) Oncogenes & Tumor Suppressor Genes (RAS gene) (p53 gene)
Molecular Biology of Cancerpgs. 370-371 I. Proto-oncogene -----convert into Oncogenes -Controls cell growth (cell cycle & levels of cyclin) -Analogy: gas pedal is stuck in the down position ***Possible Causes: -movement of DNA &/or chromosome fragments -amplification; increases the number of copies of proto-oncogene -point mutation; protein product is altered II. Tumor-suppressor genes -Considered the “Guardian Angel gene” -Example (p53 gene) -Analogy: Break pedal is stuck in the up position
