How do proteins do all the work

• Proteins– proteins run living organisms– enzymes

• control all chemical reactions in living organisms

– structure• all living organisms are built out of proteins

cytoplasm

nucleus

Cell organization

• DNA– DNA is in the nucleus

• genes = instructions for making proteins

– want to keep it there = protected• “locked in the vault”

Cell organization• Proteins

– chains of amino acids– made by a “protein factory” in cytoplasm– protein factory = ribosome

Mutations

• Changes to DNA are called mutations– change the DNA– changes the mRNA– may change protein– may change trait

BiotechnologyGel Electrophoresis

Many uses of restriction enzymes…

• Now that we can cut DNA with restriction enzymes…– we can cut up DNA from different people…

or different organisms… and compare it

– why?• forensics• medical diagnostics• paternity• evolutionary relationships • and more…

Comparing cut up DNA

• How do we compare DNA fragments?– separate fragments by size

• How do we separate DNA fragments?– run it through a gelatin – gel electrophoresis

• How does a gel work?

Gel electrophoresis

• A method of separating DNA in a gelatin-like material using an electrical field– DNA is negatively charged– when it’s in an electrical field

it moves toward the positive side

+–

DNA

“swimming through Jello”

• DNA moves in an electrical field…– so how does that help you compare DNA

fragments?• size of DNA fragment affects how far it travels

– small pieces travel farther

– large pieces travel slower & lag behind

human genome3.2 billion bases

Can we mix genes from one creature to another?

YES!

Mixing genes for medicine…

• Allowing organisms to produce new proteins– bacteria producing human insulin– bacteria producing human growth hormone

How do we do mix genes?

• Genetic engineering– find gene– cut DNA in both organisms– paste gene from one creature into other

creature’s DNA– insert new chromosome into organism– organism copies new gene as if it were its own– organism reads gene as if it were its own– organism produces NEW protein:

Remember: we all use the same genetic code!

Cutting DNA• DNA “scissors”

– enzymes that cut DNA

– restriction enzymes• used by bacteria to cut up DNA of

attacking viruses

• EcoRI, HindIII, BamHI

– cut DNA at specific sites• enzymes look for specific base sequences

Uses of genetic engineering

• Genetically modified organisms (GMO)– enabling plants to produce new proteins

• Protect crops from insects: BT corn – corn produces a bacterial toxin that kills corn borer

(caterpillar pest of corn)

• Extend growing season: fishberries – strawberries with an anti-freezing gene from flounder

• Improve quality of food: golden rice – rice producing vitamin A

improves nutritional value

Bacteria

• Bacteria are great! – one-celled organisms– reproduce by mitosis

• easy to grow, fast to grow– generation every ~20 minutes

Bacterial DNA

• Single circular chromosome– only one copy = haploid– no nucleus

• Other DNA = plasmids!

bacteriachromosome

plasmids

There’s more…

• Plasmids– small extra circles of DNA– carry extra genes that bacteria can use– can be swapped between bacteria

• bacterial sex!!• rapid evolution = antibiotic resistance

– can be picked up from environment

How can plasmids help us?

• A way to get genes into bacteria easily– insert new gene into plasmid– insert plasmid into bacteria = vector– bacteria now expresses new gene

• bacteria make new protein
