The DNA fragments were separated by gel clectrophoresis, transferred to a membrane, and hybridized with a 12 kb 10 kb DNA probe complementary to a region between sites C and D (see 8 kb hybridization line). The image of the southern blot shows the labeled DNA bands and 6 kb molecular weight (MW) markers. The lane labels I, II, III, and IV -5 kb correspond to individuals I, II, III, and IV. Assume that fragments such as C-D and C-E are clearly resolved in this gel system. Fragment sizes are as given: A-B is 4 kb, B-C is I kb, C-D is 5 kb, and D-E is 650 bp.

Analyzing Cloned Sequences A base change (A to T) is the mutational event that created the mutant sickle cell anemia allele of beta globin. This mutation destroys an MstII restriction site normally present in the beta globin gene. This difference between the normal allele and the mutant allele can be detected with Southern blotting. Using a labeled beta globin gene as a probe, what differences would you expect to see for a Southern blot of the normal beta globin gene and the mutant sickle cell gene?

After digesting the DNA produced by PCR (generated using the primers mentioned in question 2 added for context below) and the pET-28a vector with restriction enzymes SacI and HindIII, what steps would be needed to obtain a pure culture of E. coli cells that contain the pET-28a-OXA-M290 plasmid (i.e., a culture which consists only of E. coli cells that contain this plasmid)? And, how could you confirm that the OXA-M290 gene was successfully cloned into the pET-28a vector without any mutations? [4 – 8 sentences suggested] Question 2 (Do not answer, just for context):The forward primer that will be designed is the primer that binds to the region of the OXA-M290 gene where the start codon is located, and the reverse primer is the primer that binds to the region of the gene where the stop codon is located. In order to clone the PCR product generated using these primers into pET-28a, extra nucleotides must be added to the 5' ends of the primers. These extra nucleotides will contain the…

Once cloning is complete, a recombinant OXA-M290 protein can be produced in E. coli. Competent E. coli BL21(DE3) cells are transformed with the pET-28a-OXA-M290 plasmid, and the transformed cells are grown on an agar plate that contains kanamycin. The E. coli BL21(DE3) cells transformed with the pET-28a-OXA-M290 vector are next grown in liquid growth media that contains kanamycin. Once the culture reaches an OD600 of 0.6, isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is added to a final concentration of 0.5 mM to induce protein production. How does the addition of IPTG result in the transcription of genes that are regulated by the T7 promoter in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells? [4 – 6 sentences suggested] For Context ONLY: For this biology course and based on the results obtained from a previous BLAST search, the bacteria responsible for the infection at a Hospital is most likely a new strain of Escherichia coli. This strain is given the name E. coli AFB. Earlier, BLAST was used to study a…

By conducting conjugation experiments between Hfr and recipientstrains, Wollman and Jacob mapped the order of many bacterialgenes. Throughout the course of their studies, they identified severaldifferent Hfr strains in which the F-factor DNA had been integratedat different places along the bacterial chromosome.
