  • Recombinant DNA and Elements Utilizing Recombinant DNA Such As Plasmids and Viral Vectors, and the Application of Recombinant DNA Techniques in Molecular Biology
    Fact Sheet Describing Recombinant DNA and Elements Utilizing Recombinant DNA Such as Plasmids and Viral Vectors, and the Application of Recombinant DNA Techniques in Molecular Biology Compiled and/or written by Amy B. Vento and David R. Gillum Office of Environmental Health and Safety University of New Hampshire June 3, 2002 Introduction Recombinant DNA (rDNA) has various definitions, ranging from very simple to strangely complex. The following are three examples of how recombinant DNA is defined: 1. A DNA molecule containing DNA originating from two or more sources. 2. DNA that has been artificially created. It is DNA from two or more sources that is incorporated into a single recombinant molecule. 3. According to the NIH guidelines, recombinant DNA are molecules constructed outside of living cells by joining natural or synthetic DNA segments to DNA molecules that can replicate in a living cell, or molecules that result from their replication. Description of rDNA Recombinant DNA, also known as in vitro recombination, is a technique involved in creating and purifying desired genes. Molecular cloning (i.e. gene cloning) involves creating recombinant DNA and introducing it into a host cell to be replicated. One of the basic strategies of molecular cloning is to move desired genes from a large, complex genome to a small, simple one. The process of in vitro recombination makes it possible to cut different strands of DNA, in vitro (outside the cell), with a restriction enzyme and join the DNA molecules together via complementary base pairing. Techniques Some of the molecular biology techniques utilized during recombinant DNA include: 1.

Gene cloning is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology and useful in many areas of research and for biomedical applications. It is the production of exact copies (clones) of a particular gene or DNA sequence using genetic engineering techniques. cDNA is synthesized by using template RNA isolated from blood sample (human). GAPDH (Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) is one of the most commonly used housekeeping genes used in comparisons of gene expression data.

  • The Effect of Increasing Plasmid Size on Transformation Efficiency in Escherichia Coli
    Journal of Experimental Microbiology and Immunology (JEMI) Vol. 2:207-223 Copyright April 2002, M&I UBC The Effect of Increasing Plasmid Size on Transformation Efficiency in Escherichia coli VICKY CHAN, LISA F. DREOLINI, KERRY A. FLINTOFF, SONJA J. LLOYD, AND ANDREA A. MATTENLEY Department of Microbiology and Immunology, UBC Based on the observation that the transformation of Escherchia coli was more efficient with pUC19 than with the larger plasmid pBR322, we hypothesized that transformation frequency is somehow affected by size. To test this hypothesis, we attempted to insert a 1.7kb lambda NdeI fragment into pUC19 to generate a plasmid (pHEL) of the same size as pBR322. The two plasmids of equal size were then to be used to transform E. coli in order to compare transformation efficiencies. After two rounds of cloning, we were unable to generate pHEL. In lieu of using pHEL and pBR322, E. coli were transformed with previously prepared plasmids of varying sizes: pUC8 (2.6 kb), pUC8 0-690 (4.3 kb), and pUC8 0-690::pKT210 (16.1 kb). The results of these transformations indicate that increasing plasmid size correlates with a decrease in transformation efficiency. Transformation is an important technique in molecular cloning for transferring genetic material to bacteria. It can be done by either heat shock or electroporation. The former involves the preparation of competent cells, incubation of the cells with DNA at 0oC and the completion of DNA uptake by heat pulse. Competent cells are capable of taking up DNA. They can be prepared by cold treatment with calcium chloride.

  • Molecular Cloning Plasmid-Based Cloning Vectors
    Page: 1 Molecular Cloning A glaring problem in most areas of biochemical research is obtaining sufficient amounts of the substance of interest. For example, a 10 L culture of E. coli grown to its maximum titer will only contain about 7 mg of DNA polymerase I, and many other proteins in much lesser amounts. Furthermore, only rarely can as much as half of any protein originally present in an organism be recovered in pure form. Eucaryotic proteins are even more difficult to obtain because tissue samples are usually only available in small quantities. With regards to the amount of DNA present, the 10 L E. coli culture would contain about 0.1mg of any 1000 bp length chromosomal DNA but its purification in the presence of the rest of the chromosomal DNA would be a very difficult task. These difficulties have been greatly reduced through the development of molecular cloning techniques. These methods, which are also referred to as genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology, deserve much of the credit for the enormous progress in biochemistry and the dramatic rise of the biotechnology industry. The main idea of molecular cloning is to insert a DNA segment of interest into an autonomously replicating DNA molecule, a so-called cloning vector, so that the DNA segment is replicated with the vector. Cloning such a chimeric vector in a suitable host organism such as E. coli or yeast results in the production of large amounts of the inserted DNA segment. If a cloned gene is flanked by the properly positioned control sequences for RNA and protein synthesis, the host may also produce large quantities of the mRNA and protein specified by that gene.

CHALEFFt* AND KELLY TATCHELL Department ofBiology, University ofPennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104 Received 31 December 1984/Accepted 30 April 1985 In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, haploid cells occur in one of the two cell types, a or a. The alele present at the mating type (MAT) locus plays a prominent role in the control of cell type expression. An important consequence of the elaboration of ceUl type is the ability of cells of one mating type to conjugate with ceUs of the opposite mating type, resulting in yet a third cell type, an a/a diploid. Numerous genes that are involved in the expression of cel type and the conjugation process have been identified by standard genetic techniques. Molecular analysis has shown that expression of several of these genes is subject to control on the transcriptional level by the MAT locus. Two genes, STE7 and STEII, are required for mating in both haploid ceUl types; ste7 and stell mutants are sterile. We report here the molecular cloning of STE7 and STEII genes and show that expression of these genes is not regulated transcriptionally by the MAT locus. We also have genetically mapped the STEII gene to chromosome XII, 40 centimorgans from ura4. Haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae exist tation of a gene whose expression is not mating-type depen- as one of the two cell types, a or a.

The complete nucleotide sequence of cloned genome segment 10, which encodes virus polyhedrin polypeptide, was determined. The CPV polyhedrin gene consists of 942 based pairs and possesses a long open reading frame that codes for a polypeptide of 248 amino acids (molecular weight, 28,500), consistent with an apparent molecular weight of 28,000 previously determined for purffied polyhedrin. No sequence homology was found between CPV polyhedrin and polyhedrins from several nuclear polyhedrosis viruses. In addition to the polyhedrin gene, we completed the sequence analysis of a small deletion mutant gene derived from the polyhedrin gene. This mutant gene consists of two subset domains of the polyhedrin gene, i.e., the 5'-terminal 121 base pairs and the 3'-terminal 200 base pairs. An in vitro transcription demonstrated that the small mutant gene is transcribed by virion-associated RNA polymerases. These data confirm the importance of CPV terminal sequences in virus genome replication.

To facilitate studies of the biological nature and the underlying molecular determinants of this virus, we constructed eight full-length proviral clones from two asymp- tomatic and three AIDS patients infected with HIV-1 subtype C from Botswana. Analysis of viral lysates showed that Gag, Pol, and Env structural proteins were present in the virions. In four clones, the analysis suggested inefficient envelope glycoprotein processing. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the eight clones did not reveal frameshifts, deletions, premature truncations, or translational stop codons in any structural, regulatory, or accessory genes. None of the subtype C clones were replication competent in donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), macrophages, Jurkattat cells, or U87.CD4.CCR5 cells.
