Chapter 11
BIOTECHNOLOGY
• Deals with techniques of using live organisms to produce products and processes useful to humans.
EFB(European Federation of Biotechnology)
THE INTEGRATION OF NATURAL SCIENCE AND ORGANISMS, CELLS, PARTS THEREOF, AND MOLECULAR ANALOGUES FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
The two core techniques enabled birth of modern biotechnology
1. genetic engineering- techniques to alter the chemistry of genetic material (DNA and RNA) to introduce these into host organisms and thus change the phenotype of the host organisms.
2. chemical engineering- enable the growth of only desired microbe in large quantities.
PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
Sexual reproduction permits variation
.Asexual reproduction preserves the genetic information
PRINCIPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
Traditional hybridisation very often leads to inclusion and multiplication of undesirable genes along with the desired genes.
Recombinant DNA , gene cloning and gene transfer- overcome this limitation and allows us to isolate and introduce only desirable genes.
PRINCIPLES AND PROCESSES
First instance of creating artificial recombinant DNA
1972- Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer
Isolated DNA encoding for antibiotic resistance from Salmonella typhimurium and transferred into E. Coli. bacterium
PRINCIPLES AND PROCESSESRestriction enzymes-molecular sc
issors
Vectors
Ligases-molecular glues
Cloning- multiplication of copies of foreignDNA in host cell
PRINCIPLES AND PROCESSES Three basic steps in genetically modifying an
organism.
1.identification of DNA with desirable genes
2. introduction of the identified DNA into host
3. maintenance of introduced DNA in the host and transfer of the DNA to its progeny
PRINCIPLES AND PROCESSES
The foreign DNA should be a part of chromosome having origin of replication
ORIGIN OF REPLICATION

HOST ORGANISMS
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
RESTRICTION ENZYMES
Are enzymes responsible for restricting the growth of bacteriophage (1963)
Restriction endonuclease
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Hind II- the first restriction endonuclease
•They work at specific sequences of bases known as recognition sequences
There are over 900 restriction enzymes
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Naming a restriction enzyme
EcoRI-First letter- of genera- eg: Escherichia
Second and third letters- of species- coliFourth letter- strain
Fifth roman number – the order in which the enzyme isolated
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
NUCLEASES The class of restriction enzymes
Exonucleases- remove nucleotides
Endonucleases- cut DNA at specific sites
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Each restriction endonuclease works at palindromic sequences and make sticky ends -
MALAYALAM
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Working of restriction enzyme
Stickiness is due to hydrogen bonds facilitates action of DNA ligaze
If same restriction enzyme is not used to cut vector and source DNA the recombinant molecule cannot be created
cut little away from the centre of palindromic sequences leaving sticky ends
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Separation and isolation of DNA fragments
Cut DNA fragments can be separated by gel electrophoresis
DNA fragments are negatively charged.Separated using a medium – usually agarose
Separated fragments visualised only after staining the DNA with a compound known as ethidium bromide and exposure to UV
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
ELUTION;
the separated bands of DNA are cut out from the agarose gel and extracted from the gel piece.
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Cloning vectors Plasmids and bacteriophages have the ability to
replicate within bacterial cells independent of the control of chromosomes DNA.
-if an alien piece of DNA is linked with plasmid of bacteriophage we can multiply its numbers Equal to the copy number of the plasmid or bacteriophage.
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Cloning vectors Features of vectors
1. origin of replication- sequence where replication starts
-- the selected origin or replication should support high copy number- since it controls the copy number
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Cloning vectors
2. selectable markerHelp in identifying and eliminating non-transformants and permitting the growth of transformants.
transformation
Are genes encoding resistance to antibiotics such as ampicilin, chloramphenicol etc.
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Cloning vectors
3. cloning sitesCloning sites are recognition sites of restriction enzymes
At antibiotic resistant genepBR322
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
• Cloning vectors
• 3. cloning sites
• Insertional inactivation• α- galactosidase
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Cloning vectors
3. vectors for cloning genes in plants and animals Gene of interest can be introduced into plants or eukaryotic cell through vectors like pathogenic bacteria, virus like Agrobacterioum tumifaciens
TOOLS OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Competent host
In order to force bacteria to take up the plasmid, the bacterial cells must first be made competent to take up DNA.
Microinjection
Biolistics or gene gun
ISOLATION OF DNA
PROCESSES OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
FRAGMENTATION OF DNA
ISOLATION OF DERSIRED DNA FRAGMENT
LIGATION OF DNA INTO A VECTOR
TRANSFERING THE RECOMBINANT DNA INTO THE HOST
CULTURING OF HOST CELLS FOR LARGE SCALE EXTRACTION OF PRODUCT
1. ISOLATION OF THE GENETIC MATERIAL DNADNA SHOULD BE FREE FROM OTHER MACROMOLECULES
PROCESSES OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
DNA precipitates after addition of chilled ethanol
Treatment with lysozyme (bacteria), cellulase ( plant cells) chitinase (fungus)
RNA removed by ribonuclease and proteins by protease
spooling
Cutting of DNA at specific locations
PROCESSES OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Incubating purified DNA with restriction enzymes
The joining of DNA is done by mixing gene of interest, cut vector and ligase enzyme
3. amplification of GENE OF INTEREST using PCR
PROCESSES OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
WITH primers and DNA polymerase enzyme.
The enzyme is thermostable from Thermus aquaticus
Insertion of recombinant DNA into the host cell/organism
PROCESSES OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
The resistance to antibiotics will act as selectable marker
Obtaining the foreign gene product
PROCESSES OF RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY
Recombinant protein- heterologous host
BIOREACTORS\ Are used for large scale culture of host cell
