One possible combination DNA fragment from another source is added. Base pairing of sticky ends produces various combinations. Fragment from different DNA molecule cut by the same restriction enzyme DNA ligase seals the strands. Recombinant DNA molecule Sticky end Using Restriction Enzymes to Make Recombinant DNA Bacterial restriction enzymes cut DNA molecules at DNA sequences called restriction sites – fragments with “sticky ends” Animation: Restriction Enzymes Animation: Restriction Enzymes

4. LE 20-4_1 Isolate plasmid DNA and human DNA. Cut both DNA samples with the same restriction enzyme. Mix the DNAs; they join by base pairing. The products are recombinant plasmids and many nonrecombinant plasmids. Bacterial cell lacZ gene (lactose breakdown) Human cell Restriction site amp R gene (ampicillin resistance) Bacterial plasmid Gene of interest Sticky ends Human DNA fragments Recombinant DNA plasmids

5. LE 20-4_2 Isolate plasmid DNA and human DNA. Cut both DNA samples with the same restriction enzyme. Mix the DNAs; they join by base pairing. The products are recombinant plasmids and many nonrecombinant plasmids. Bacterial cell lacZ gene (lactose breakdown) Human cell Restriction site amp R gene (ampicillin resistance) Bacterial plasmid Gene of interest Sticky ends Human DNA fragments Recombinant DNA plasmids Introduce the DNA into bacterial cells that have a mutation in their own lacZ gene. Recombinant bacteria

Bacterial cell lacZ gene (lactose breakdown) Human cell Restriction site amp R gene (ampicillin resistance) Bacterial plasmid Gene of interest Sticky ends Human DNA fragments Recombinant DNA plasmids Introduce the DNA into bacterial cells that have a mutation in their own lacZ gene. Recombinant bacteria Plate the bacteria on agar containing ampicillin and X-gal. Incubate until colonies grow.
