- In the formation of recombinant DNA, a restriction endonuclease cuts a bacterial plasmid to give sticky ends. The DNA segments that are to be added to the plasmid are cleaved with the same restriction endonuclease. What aresticky ends and why is it important that the target DNA and the plasmid it will be incorporated into have complementary sticky ends?arrow_forwardConstruct a detail linear restriction map according to the given information in Table 1 below.

The mode of replication of the animal virus SV40 has been investigated by using restriction endonucleases that cleave SV40 DNA into a number of unique segments. Like most viruses, SV40 DNA is circular. The map positions of the 11 fragments produced by a pair of restriction endonucleases are shown on the next page. Immediately following a 5 or 10 minute pulse of radioactively labeled thymidine, labeled SV40 molecules that have completed replication during the pulse are isolated. These newly replicated DNA molecules are digested by the restriction endonucleases and the resulting fragments are analyzed for the relative amounts of pulse label they contain. The results are in the table below. Assume that at the time the label was added there was a random population of replicating SV40 DNA molecules in all possible stages of synthesis. From the information given below,…arrow_forward
- All are correct about DNA gyrase in E. coli EXCEPT: It works to remove positive supercoiling introduced by the DnaB protein (helicase). It is a topoisomerase that hydrolyzes ATP during its reaction mechanism. Its mechanism involves the breaking of a single phosphoester bond in one strand of dsDNA. It works to relieve supercoiling in DNA to overcome the torsion stress imposed upon unwinding.arrow_forwardHow would you expect your results to change if the enzyme did not have time to cut all of the sites? (Hint, remember that there are many pieces of the lambda DNA in the tube – draw yourself a simplified model where there are four restriction sites, and imagine what would happen if the enzyme only cut at one, two, three or all four, randomly, each time). How would you expect your results to change if you treated them with both EcoRI and HindIII in the same tube? Why might it be safer for the virus to have its DNA become circular when it enters the host, rather than remain linear?arrow_forwardA plasmid DNA and a linear DNA (both of the same size) have one site for a restriction endonuclease. When cut and separated on agarose gel electrophoresis, plasmid shows one DNA band while linear DNA shows two fragments. Explain.arrow_forward
