Chapter 18, Problem 13P
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ways by which PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) can be utilised for the generation of a gene that confers resistance against neomycin. Also, determine the way by which one can insert PCR product in the intron.
Introduction:
A neomycin resistant gene has to develop that is flanked by lox- sites and starts with a particular plasmid having the neo gene. The introns of the desired or target gene are cloned inside the plasmid vector.

- A plasmid that is both ampicillin and tetracyclineresistant is cleaved with PstI, which cleaves within theampicillin resistance gene. The cut plasmid is ligated withPstI-digested Drosophila DNA to prepare a genomic library,and the mixture is used to transform E. coli K12. Question: How can you explain the presence of colonies thatare resistant to both antibiotics?arrow_forwardThe plasmid cloning vector pBR322 is cleaved with the restriction endonuclease PstI. An isolated DNA fragment from a eukaryotic genome (also produced by PstI cleavage) is added to the prepared vector and ligated. The mixture of ligated DNAs is then used to transform bacteria, and plasmid-containing bacteria are selected by growth in the presence of tetracycline. The cloned DNA fragment is 1,000 bp long and has an EcoRI site 250 bp from one end. Three different recombinant plasmids are cleaved with EcoRI and analyzed by gel electrophoresis, giving the patterns shown below. What does each pattern say about the cloned DNA? Note: pBR322, the PstI and EcoRI restriction sites are about 750 bp apart. The entire plasmid with no cloned insert is 4,361 bp. Size markers in lane 4 have the number of nucleotides noted.arrow_forwardA 2.0kb bacterial plasmid ‘BS1030’ is digested with the restriction endonuclease Sau3A; the plasmid map is depicted in the diagram below and the Sau3A (S) restriction sites are indicated. Which of the following DNA fragments do you expect to see on an agarose gel when you run Sau3A-digested plasmid ‘BS1030’ DNA? a. 250 bp, 450 bp, 550 bp, 1.1 kb, 1.5 kb and 2.0 kb b. 2.0kb c. 250 bp, 400 bp, 450 bp, 500 bp and 550 bp d. 100 bp, 200 bp, 250 bp, 400 bp, 500 bp and 550 bparrow_forward
- Consider the following plasmid (size 8000 bp), with restriction sites at the positions indicated: (see image) a) This plasmid is digested with the enzymes listed below. Indicate how many fragments will begenerated in each case, and give the sizes of the fragments.PstIXhoICombination of PstI + XhoI + EcoRI (triple digest) b) Draw the banding pattern you would expect to observe if each of these digestions is loaded into a separate well of an agarose gel, and the fragments separated by electrophoresis. In the first well you load a DNA marker (M) containing fragments with sizes of 1000 bp, 2000 bp, 4000 bp and 8000 bp. c) This gel is transferred to a membrane in a Southern blot experiment, and hybridised to a radioactively labelled 200 bp probe, which anneals to the plasmid DNA at the position indicated on the diagram above. Draw the autoradiographic profile you would expect to observe for the membrane.arrow_forwardThe 3' exonuclease activity of E. coli DNA polymerase I was found to show no discrimination between correctly and incorrectly base- paired nucleotides at the 3' terminus; properly and improperly base-paired nucleotides are cleaved at equal rates there. How can this observation be reconciled with the fact that the 3' exonuclease activity increases the accuracy with which template DNA is copied?arrow_forwardAfter 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…arrow_forward
- During your experiment you analysed only a few of the recombinant clones for the presence of the highly repeated Aluelements. If you wanted to screen for a single-copy gene, you would need to screen a much larger genomic library. Assuming, that you already know the amino acid sequence of unicorn (a species with a similar physiology to humans) insulin, how would you construct a probe which would enable you to use nucleic acid hybridisation to screen a unicorn genomic DNA library for the insulin gene? Hint: you have access to any molecular biology reagents and equipment you might need, such as vectors, enzymes, and DNA sequencers.arrow_forwardClone number in this case is number 196 which is shown in the images. State whether a BamHI site has been re-created at the forward- and the reverse-end junctions of the human DNA with the plasmid vector band sizes are shown in one of the images. (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10kb)arrow_forwardRestriction endonucleases (RE) are one of the most used enzymes in biotechnology for recombinant DNA experimentations. These enzymes consist of three major classes; I, II and III. (i) Why is RE Class II commonly utilized in the labs as compared to Class I and III? (ii) Why is RE referred as Restriction Endonuclease and not Restriction Exonuclease? (iii) Some REs are known as isoschizomers. Describe isoschizomers with an example.arrow_forward
- You are studying a new plasmid, and you digest the plasmid with three restriction enzymes: Eco RI (E), Hindlll (H), and Xbal (X). You digest the plasmid DNA with each of the following combinations of enzymes and observe the results on an agarose gel. You are provided a partial plasmid map as shown below to the right. +18 a.

What is the distance in base pairs between E2 and H? e. What is the distance in base pairs between E2 and X?arrow_forwardA PCR reaction was performed to amplify the XULA4 gene, which is bp 524-6,480 on a plasmid that is 9,435 bp. After the PCR, the product was digested with XhoI. There are XhoI sites on the plasmid at bp 151, 1,336, and 4,795. Calculate the size(s) that would result when the product is digested with XhoI. Then enter the size of the largest fragment (in bp).arrow_forwardClone number in this case is number 196 as shown in the images. What is the exact length of the segment of human DNA that has been inserted into the plasmid? *report the entire length of the insert, not just the sequences matching the ends and labels of wells isn't needed for answer*arrow_forward
