You are given 3 tubes of RNA and asked by your supervisor to clone the gene encoding the proinsulin C-peptide that will be used later to produce insulin. The first tube contains purified mRNA isolated from pancreatic β-cells from a patient in a post-absorptive state. The second tube contains purified mRNA isolated from pancreatic α-cells from a patient during absorptive state. The third tube contains purified mRNA isolated from pancreatic β-cells from a patient during absorptive state. q: Describe the primary procedure (key steps no details) that you will follow to clone the C-peptide gene from the RNA above into the only vector you have, a pUC expression vector cut open using EcoR1 which has a 5-recognition site and a 3`- HindIII in the MCS?

Question

You are given 3 tubes of RNA and asked by your supervisor to clone the gene encoding the proinsulin
C-peptide that will be used later to produce insulin. The first tube contains purified mRNA isolated
from pancreatic β-cells from a patient in a post-absorptive state. The second tube contains purified
mRNA isolated from pancreatic α-cells from a patient during absorptive state. The third tube contains
purified mRNA isolated from pancreatic β-cells from a patient during absorptive state.

q: Describe the primary procedure (key steps no details) that you will follow to clone the C-peptide gene
from the RNA above into the only vector you have, a pUC expression vector cut open using EcoR1 which
has a 5-recognition site and a 3`- HindIII in the MCS?
