Key Concepts
Genetic experiments have been proceeding in nature for billions of years Genetic changes are brought about by Recombinant DNA technology
With technology, researchers can isolate, cut, and splice together gene regions from different species, and amplify the number of copies
Page 3
Key Concepts
Genetic engineering involves isolating, modifying, and inserting genes back into the same organism or into a different one Social, ethical, legal, and ecological questions are raised by the new technology

Gene Cloning
Isolation and amplification of an individual gene sequence by insertion of that sequence into a cells where it can be replicated Involves the construction of novel DNA molecules by joining DNA from different sources Product is Recombinant DNA (rDNA)

Cloning Vectors
Requirements of a vector to serve as a carrier molecule
The choice of a vector depends on the design of the experimental system and how the cloned gene will be screened or utilized subsequently
- host targets - size of DNA fragments - screening methods
Page 10
Most vectors contain a prokaryotic origin of replication allowing maintenance in bacterial cells Some vectors contain an additional eukaryotic origin of replication allowing autonomous, episomal replication in eukaryotic cells. Multiple unique cloning sites are often included for versatility and easier library construction.
Page 11
Antibiotic resistance genes and/or other selectable markers enable identification of cells that have acquired the vector construct. Some vectors contain inducible or tissuespecific promoters permitting controlled expression of introduced genes in transfected cells or transgenic animals. Modern vectors contain multi-functional elements designed to permit a combination of cloning, DNA sequencing, in vitro mutagenesis and transcription and episomal replication.

Vectors
Must contain a replicon that enables it to replicate in host cells (region of DNA that is amplified, i.e.: has origin of replication) Small enough and unlikely to degrade during purification. Several marker genes Unique cleavage site(s) For expression, must contain control elements, such as promoters, terminators, ribosome binding sites, etc

Types of Vectors
Plasmids Cosmids Fosmids Phages Yeast Artificial Chromosomes (YACs) Transposons Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) Viruses
retroviruses adenoviruses adeno-associated viruses herpes simplex virus rhinoviruses Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)

Choice of vector
Depends on nature of protocol or experiment Type of host cell to accommodate rDNA
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic
Page 16
Plasmids vector
Double stranded, circular DNA which exist in bacteria. May exist as single copy per cell or multi-copy per cell (10-20 genomes/cell), or even under relaxed replication control where up to 1000 copies/cell can be maintained Size of rDNA insertions limited to ~10kb Covalently closed, circular, double stranded DNA molecules that occur naturally and replicate extrachromosomally in bacteria Many confer drug resistance to bacterial strains Origin of replication present (ORI)

Interruptable gene encoding for enzyme beta galactosidase (lacZ) Polylinker resides in the middle Enzyme activity can be used as marker for gene insertion Disrupted gene = nonfunctional Intact gene = functional Media containing XGAL chromagenic substrate used (blue colonies = intact; white colonies = disrupted) Amp resistance gene still present (= beta lactamase), Tet resistance gene omitted

Cosmid vectors
Hybrid molecules containing components of both lambda and plasmid DNA Lambda components: COS sequences (required for in vitro packaging into phage coats) Plasmid DNA components: ORI + Antibiotic resistance gene Cloning sites will be part of vector
rDNA is packaged using extracts of coat and tail proteins derived from normal lambda components BUT cannot be packaged after introduced into host cell because rDNA does not encode the genes required for coat proteins
Page 22
After infection of E. coli, rDNA molecules replicate as plasmids Very large inserts can be accommodated by cosmids (up to 35-45 kbp)
Page 23
Cosmids
Plasmid vectors that contain a bacteriophage lamda cos site The cos site results in efficient packaging of lamda DNA into virus particles With the cos site, larger DNA inserts are possible (up to ~40 kb)

Bacteriophage Vectors
Viruses that attack specific bacteria Must first deactivate lysogenic growth component of phage (phage DNA inserts into host DNA, creating prophage) Allow lytic growth cell death after infection and replication. Cell death revealed as plaques Insert rDNA into phage (usu. up to 25kb) Infect bacteria with phage Infected bacteria form plaques Advantage: Transformation, selection very easy

Bacteriophage lambda infects E. coli Double-stranded, linear DNA vector suitable for library construction Can accommodate large segments of foreign DNA Central 1/3 = stuffer fragment Can be substituted with any DNA fragment of similar size without affecting ability of lambda to package itself and infect E. coli Accommodates ~15kbp of foreign DNA Foreign DNA is ligated to Left and Right Arms of lambda Then either: 1) Transfected into E. coli as naked DNA, or 2) Packaged in vitro by combining with phage protein components (heads and tails) (more efficient, but labor intensive and expensive)

Definition
A cloned set of rDNA fragments representing either the entire genome of an organism (Genomic library) or the genes transcribed in a particular eukaryotic cell type (cDNA library)
Page 37
Genomic libraries
Commonly bacteriophage lambda used as the vector
Stuffer fragment removed and replaced with 1517kbp fragments of library
Cosmids and YACs may also be used as vectors Contains at least one copy of all DNA fragments in the complete library Screened using nucleic acid probes to identify specific genes Subcloning is usually necessary for detailed analysis of genes

SOURCE OF DNA
Isolated from the target organism (in which the genomics library will be directed) Decided the appropriate isolation method Prepared in high purity Fragmented using restriction endonuclease enzymes
Page 40
Common steps involved in isolating a particular DNA fragment from a complex mixture of DNA fragments or molecules
1.
2.
DNA molecules are digested with enzymes called restriction endonucleases which reduces the size of the fragments Renders them more manageable for cloning purposes These products of digestion are inserted into a DNA molecule called a vector Enables desired fragment to be replicated in cell culture to very high levels in a given cell
