Recombinant DNA Recent technology – still changing New combinations of DNA – usually a DNA
sequence inserted into bacteria Allows DNA sequence to be copied and
amplified (a.k.a. cloned)

Cloned DNA Clone – a collection of molecules or cells, all
identical to an original molecule or cell To clone a gene – make many identical copies of it,
often by placing it in a culture of bacteria The cloned gene can be a normal copy (‘wild type’)
or an altered version (‘mutant’) Recombinant DNA technology makes gene cloning
possible The goals of gene cloning are: study of specific
genes and genetic engineering

Overview: Gene Cloning1. Restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA
molecules in specific places
2. The fragments of DNA are incorporated into a vector, such as a bacteriophage or plasmid, which can carry it into a host cell
3. The recombinant DNA is replicated and distributed to daughter cells during cell division

Step 1: Restriction enzymes Enzymes found in bacteria – are helpful to them to fight
foreign, invading DNA There are thousands of different restriction enzymes These enzymes cut DNA at specific sites These cleavage sites are usually at a 4 or 6 base-pair
palindromic sequence The ‘top’ strand from 5’ to 3’ is the same as the ‘bottom’
strand from 5’ to 3’ Cleavage that cuts the two strands directly across from each
other leaves blunt ends Cleavage that is uneven leaves single-stranded tails called
sticky ends

Restriction enzymes…Cuts usually occurs at
a palindromic sequence
SmaI: produces blunt ends

EcoRI: produces sticky ends

Examples of Palindromes:Don't nod

Restriction enzymes… The names are derived from the names of the bacteria they
originally came from They always cut DNA in the same place, regardless of the
source of the DNA Enzymes with staggered cuts complementary ends
(overhangs are ‘sticky’) These result in complementary ends that can be ligated
together Enzymes that cut at the same position on both strands leave
blunt ends DNA fragments with blunt ends can also be ligated together,
but with lower efficiency

Step 2: Incorporation into vectors Plasmids are cleaved by restriction enzymes
and have sticky or blunt ends Foreign DNA fragments (cut in the same
places so they have the same ends) can be linked to the ends with DNA ligase and inserted into the plasmids
This produces the recombinant DNA
![Page 9: Chapter 14 DNA Technologies. Recombinant DNA Recent technology – still changing New combinations of DNA – usually a DNA sequence inserted into bacteria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072006/56649cfd5503460f949cddd5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Useful vectors…plasmids Plasmids are naturally occurring extra-chromosomal
DNA molecules found in bacteria They are circular and double-stranded They are the means by which antibiotic resistance is
often transferred from one bacteria to another (remember the mice in Griffith’s experiments?)
They do not usually contain genes essential to the bacteria under normal conditions

Useful vectors… viruses Bacteriophages are viruses that infect
bacteria These can also be made to carry recombinant
DNA into bacteria for cloning Engineered viruses can also be used as
vectors into cells of eukaryotic organisms

Step 3: Replication of Recombinant DNA The cells containing the recombinant DNA are
grown in culture – replicating the new DNA as they do
Not all the cells will be descendants of those with the recombinant DNA these need to be eliminated from the culture
For this reason, plasmids that also confer resistance to a particular antibiotic or allow cells to use a specific nutrient are often used
This allows scientists to separate transformed cells from untransformed cells

Why recombinant DNA? This technology has been used to:
Add favorable genes to agricultural crops, for example pest or herbicide resistance
Modify bacteria to produce enzymes used in industry, for example the enzyme used for making cheese
Produce therapeutic products such as human insulin and blood clotting factors

In the future we hope to: Provide gene therapy – the goal is to introduce the
correct version of a gene into the cells of a patient to correct protein production sickle-cell, cystic fibrosis, and some eye diseases
Silence overactive genes through RNA interference (RNAi) – uses a double-stranded RNA molecule to stop protein production of a targeted gene lupus, Crohn’s disease, autism, Alzheimer’s, rheumatoid
arthritis, Parkinson’s disease

Other DNA Technologies Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Uses nucleotides and primers, along with heat, to copy tiny amounts of DNA many times in vitro
Useful for analysis of crime scene evidence or other times when additional DNA is desired
Sensitive to contamination from outside DNA Gel electrophoresis
Allows us to separate DNA fragments based on their movement through a gel submitted to an electrical field
The smallest fragments of DNA migrate faster (and therefore further) from the starting point
This is the basis for ‘DNA fingerprinting’
