Chapter 16 Genetic Technology Gene Cloning Genomics: Techniques for Studying Genomes Biotechnology 3 Chapter Outline:
4
Recombinant DNA technology Use of laboratory techniques to isolate and manipulate fragments of DNA Recombinant DNA contains DNA from two or more sources Once inside a host cell, recombinant molecules are replicated to produce identical copies or clones 4 Gene Cloning

Gene cloning Creates many copies of a particular gene To make large amounts of a specific gene’s DNA For DNA sequencing To probe for a similar gene in another species Or to produce the protein encoded by the gene Purify protein to study structure and function Introduce into bacteria or livestock for pharmaceuticals Introduce into plants and animals to change traits Use for gene therapy to treat disease 6
7
BIOLOGY PRINCIPLE Biology is an experimental science The technique of gene cloning allows researchers to study genes and gene products in greater detail. 7

Gene Cloning – Step 1 Vector DNA is a carrier for the DNA segment to be cloned When a vector is introduced into a living cell, it can replicate, making many copies Common vectors are plasmid or viral vectors Also need the gene of interest from some organism’s chromosomal DNA 8
9
Gene Cloning – Step 2 To insert chromosomal DNA into vector... Cut DNA using restriction enzymes Also called restriction endonucleases Made by bacteria as protection against bacteriophages Cut at specific known restriction sites Most restriction sites palindromic May produce sticky ends DNA ligase must be used to permanently link DNA Creates a recombinant vector with gene inserted Will also get empty recircularized vector without insert 9

Gene Cloning – Step 3 Goal is to have recombinant vector taken up by bacteria Some will take up a single plasmid Most cells fail to take up a plasmid at all Vector carries a selectable marker Adding antibiotics selects for cells expressing antibiotic resistance gene, amp R Gene amp R codes for beta-lactamase that degrades ampicillin, which normally kills bacteria Growth on ampicillin plates indicates that bacteria contain plasmid with the selectable marker 12
13
Only the cells with the plasmid grow on plates treated with ampicillin To eliminate recircularized empty vectors, lacZ gene is built into vector Insertion of cloned DNA disrupts lacZ gene lacZ codes for beta-galactosidase, which cleaves colorless X-Gal into a blue dye Recircularized plasmids will form blue colonies The desired recombinant vectors will form white colonies 13

DNA library Treatment of chromosomal DNA with restriction enzymes yields tens of thousands of different fragments DNA library – collection of many recombinant vectors each with a fragment of chromosomal DNA Two types of common DNA libraries Genomic library – inserts derived from chromosomal DNA cDNA library – uses reverse transcriptase to make complementary DNA (cDNA) from mRNA Lacks introns, so simpler to use 15

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Allows us to amplify DNA (make many copies) No vectors or host cells needed Ingredients: Primers that match sequences at each end of the DNA fragment dNTPs (deoxynucleotide triphosphates) Taq polymerase – a heat-stable form of DNA polymerase called DNA run through repeated cycles of denaturation, annealing and synthesis Thermocycler machine automates this process After 30 cycles of amplification, a DNA sample will increase 2 30 -fold 19

Genomics – the molecular analysis of the entire genome (all the DNA) of a species Two phases Mapping of genome Functional genomics How do specific DNA sequences impact structure and function of cells and the organism? Expression analysis – which genes turn on or off in particular cells 25 Genomics: Techniques for Studying Genomes
26
DNA sequencing Determines base sequence of DNA Dideoxy chain-termination method Dideoxynucleoside triphosphates (ddNTPs) are missing the 3’–OH group and cause chain to terminate 4 tubes with copies of the single stranded DNA, each with a different labelled nucleotide DNA polymerase will make complementary strand until ddNTP inserted and chain terminates After electrophoresis, DNA sequence can be read by determining which base is at the end of the DNA strand Procedure has been automated using fluorescently labeled ddNTPs all in one tube 26

A microarray can identify which genes are transcribed by a cell DNA microarray or gene chip Monitors expression of thousands of genes simultaneously Short sequences of known genes attached to spots on slide Goal is to find out which genes are transcribed into mRNA in a particular sample of cells mRNA from those cells is used to make fluorescently labeled cDNA cDNAs that are complementary to the DNAs in the microarray will hybridize High fluorescence intensity in a spot indicates high levels of cDNA in the sample

Technologies that involve the use of living organisms to benefit humans 12,000 years ago – domestication of livestock Now – molecular genetics Important medicines are now produced by recombinant organisms Tissue plasminogen activator – for blood clots Factor VIII – for hemophilia Insulin – for diabetes 33 Biotechnology
34
Insulin In 1982, the U.S. FDA approved sale of human insulin made by recombinant bacteria Prior to 1982, insulin was isolated from cattle Some people developed allergies and had to use cadaver insulin Insulin composed of two polypeptides – A and B A and B coding sequence inserted into E.coli Fusion proteins extracted and β-galactosidase removed Purified A and B chain mixed to form functional protein 34

BIOLOGY PRINCIPLE Biology affects our society This method of making insulin, which was developed by researchers, is now used to make insulin for most people with insulin-dependent diabetes. 36 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
37
Gene replacement and knockout Used to understand gene function and human disease A transgenic organism carries genes introduced using molecular techniques Also called Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Gene replacement – cloned gene recombines with normal gene on a chromosome Only 1 of 2 copies replaced, creating heterozygote Heterozygotes can be crossed to yield homozygotes 37
38
Gene knockout – if cloned gene is a mutation that inactivates function, homozygote will not have gene function Very useful for studying human disease Used to create models to study disease Used to test effect of therapies 38
39
Molecular pharming Production of medically important proteins in livestock mammary glands Certain proteins are more likely to function when expressed in mammals Post-translational modification Degraded or improperly folded in bacteria High yield in cows 39
40
Strategy: Clone gene next to the promoter of a gene specifically expressed in mammary cells Vector injected into oocyte, fertilized and implanted Protein is purified out of milk 40

Transgenic plants Somewhat easier because plant cells are totipotent Cloned genes can be introduced into somatic tissue and entire plant regenerated using hormones Agrobacterium tumefaciens naturally infects plant cells and causes tumors Contains Ti plasmid that integrates into host chromosome Codes for plant growth hormones that form crown gall tumor 42
43
Transgenic plants Ti plasmid modified to introduce cloned genes Kan R used as a selectable marker for kanamycin resistance Contain convenient restriction sites Transformed cells plated on media with kanamycin (to kill nontransformed cells) and carbenicillin (to kill Agrobacterium) 43

45
Successful example of the use of transgenic plants has involved the introduction of genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Bacterium produces toxins that kill certain caterpillars and beetles and has been widely used as an insecticide for several decades Bt varieties of plants produce the toxins themselves – therefore are resistant to many caterpillars and beetles 45
