Genetic engineering ­ Genetic engineering: manipulating DNA or organisms to perform practical tasks or provide useful products We’re going to look at the following: ¬ DNA analysis ¬ DNA analysis: this makes it possible to examine variation among individuals. Why would you want to do this?

I. DNA analysis: A. Most common uses are: 1. analyze a person’s genes (looking for diseases) 2. compare the sequence of nitrogen bases among individuals (paternity and crime scenes) B. Use restriction enzymes 1. A restriction enzyme is an enzyme that cuts DNA at specific “recognition sites” 2. In nature restriction enzymes protect bacteria against intruding DNA (viruses) by cutting the intruders DNA (can’t function) C. Use an electrophoresis apparatus to separate the cut DNA 1. Fancy way to do chromatography Result of an electrophoresis

D. Process of DNA analysis 1. DNA is obtained (hair, blood, skin cells…) 2. Copies of DNA are made using the PCR method (polymerase chain reaction). This is just a complex way to make a ton of DNA copies 3. Restriction enzymes are added to cut the DNA into fragments at very specific sequences. 4. DNA has an overall negative charge 5. Put DNA into wells of gel at the negative end of the chamber 6. Turn on power supply 7. Smaller fragments will travel faster through gel, therefore they will travel the farthest in the allotted time.

Gel that is loaded with DNA and reading to “run” No DNA in these wells DNA is present in these wells

II. Genetic Engineering A. An overview: 1. Use bacteria plasmids - small circular DNA that replicate within the bacterial cell. These are isolated. 2. The plasmid and gene of choice are both cut using the same restriction enzyme (therefore cutting at the same recognition site) b. this produces what we call “sticky ends” 3. The plasmid and gene of choice are put in a test tube together 4. DNA ligase (an enzyme) is added fuse the two strands together 5. Plasmid is put back into bacteria 6. Bacteria reproduces 7. Bacteria will express the inserted gene by making the protein GAATTC CTTAAG G CTTAA AATTC G

B. What you will be doing in your lab: 1. Gene from a bioluminescent jellyfish has been isolated a. it produces a green fluorescent protein (GFP) 2. It has been inserted into a bacterial plasmid. a. the recombinant DNA molecule is called “pGLO” plasmid 3. The plasmid will (hopefully) transform into bacteria that will then express the inserted gene and therefore glow. a. Genetic transformation = change caused by genes

C. Things you need to know to understand what you are doing 1. Inserting the gene is not enough…you have to have something to turn it on 2. Turning on and off genes (gene expression) is carefully regulated to allow for adaptation to different conditions a. prevents wasteful production of unneeded proteins b. digestive enzymes are highly regulated 3. Bacteria regulates their gene expression through “operons” a. an operon is a cluster of genes controlled by one promoter

4. An ampicillin resistant gene is also added to your pGLO plasmid a. this is a gene that makes a protein that allows the bacteria to grow in the presence of the antibiotic ampicillin, therefore making it “resistant” b. This insures that only the bacteria that was transformed will grow…nothing else. c. It is a way to control your experiment and not add more variables. Origin – where transcription starts GFP – makes green flourescent protein Bla gene – makes bacteria resistant to ampicillin The pGLO plasmid

What you will see in lab: LBLB/AMP LB/AMP/ ARA Plasmid added PurposeControl for bacterial growth Control for effectiveness of ampicillin Control for effectiveness of transformation End result Does bacteria gRow Does bacteria gLow LB = Luria broth (food for bacteria) AMP = Ampicillin (antibiotic -- kills bacteria) ARA= Arabinose (sugar -- turns on the pGLO gene)
