5’…GAATTC…3’ 3’…CTTAAG…5’ 5’…G -OHP-AATTC…3’ 3’…CTTAA -PHO-G…5’ Restriction Endonucleases • A Restriction Endonucleases will cut both strands of a DNA duplex at a specific place • These “places” need not be directly opposite: 5’…GAATTC…3’ 3’…CTTAAG…5’ 5’…G -OHP-AATTC…3’ 3’…CTTAA -PHO-G…5’ • Note that the above enzyme is EcoRI, the first restriction endonuclease characterized
Most R.E. RecognitionSequences are Palindromes G^AATT-C C-TTAA^G G^GATC-C C-CTAG^G Nodeba Bob Abedon A^GATC-C T-CTAG^G GC^GGCC-GC CG-CCGG^CG
Ligation into Plasmid Upon Ligation, we now have Recombinant DNA!
Transformation Note that plasmid is vector that carries DNA into recipient cells Other vectors include viruses (transduction) as well as otherwise inert projectiles
Gene Therapy Alternatively, DNA can be cloned directly into the germ line…
PCR DNA Amplification • Cloning allows the amplification of genotype (DNA) as well as phenotype (proteins) • If all you really need is the DNA, then PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is an easy way to amplify DNA without cloning
Note that the reverse transcriptase is primed by the poly-A found at the end of most eukaryotic mRNAs Note that there are issues (& variation) as to how one makes the second DNA strand Here that strand is generated using a second enzyme that is primed via generation of a hairpin of DNA by reverse transcriptase Complementary (c)DNA
Clone Identification • Probing for correct DNA sequence • Probing for correct protein product • Antibiotic resistance • β-galactocidase expression • Etc. • Once you have the correct clone, then what? • Subcloning • Expression vector • Protein characterization • Protein purification • Etc. Have Transformant, then What?
Protein Characterization • Function • Isoelectric point • SDS PAGE (1D & 2D) • Western blotting • Epitope analysis (monoclonal antibodies) • Etc.
Monoclonal Antibodies (Mabs) Note that though clonal, Monoclonal Antibodies are not (or at least used to be not) produced by processes that have anything to do with Gene Cloning
Visualized proteins Western Blotting w/Mabs or w/Pabs
Visualized proteins 2-D Protein Electrophoresis
