Question
25. The restriction enzymes Kpnl and Acc651 recognize and cleave the same 6-bp sequence. You have
a plasmid and a linear DNA strand that both contain a Kpnl and Acc651 sequence in the same
orientation as shown below. You digest both DNA pieces with both enzymes and then attempt to
ligate the sticky ends, followed by treatment with DNA ligase. What will happen?
5' GGTACC3'
5' G G T ACC 3'
3' CCATGG 5'
y CCATGGS
Kpnl
Acс651
A) You will produce sticky ends but the two types of ends will not ligate. Instead, you may
produce a small amount of religated plasmid where the digested plasmid sequence re-inserts.
B) You will produce a recombinant plasmid in which the linear DNA strand is ligated in between
the two sites, suitable for cloning.
C) You will produce blunt ends that will not ligate because the two restriction enzymes will both
operate on both of the sites.
D) All the DNA will be completely digested as if you had applied a general DNAse enzyme.
