1 MCB 720: Molecular Biology Biotechnology terminology Common hosts in biotechnology research Transcription & Translation Prokaryotic gene organization & expression

2 Terminology Molecular biology-The study of biology on a molecular level including the structure, function, and makeup of biologically important molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins Recombinant DNA technology-a set of techniques for manipulating DNA, including: the identification and cloning of genes; the study of the expression of cloned genes; and the production of large quantities of gene product Genetic engineering-the process of transferring DNA from one organism into another that results in a genetic modification Biotechnology-production of goods and services using biological organisms, systems, and processes Molecular biotechnology-rDNA technology + biotechnology

3 Selected developments in the history of molecular biology/biotechnology 1944-Avery, MacLeod & McCarty determine DNA is the genetic material 1953-Watson & Crick determine the structure of DNA 1970-First restriction endonuclease isolated 1973-Boyer & Cohen establish recombinant DNA technology 1976-DNA sequencing techniques developed 1980-U.S. Supreme Court rules genetically modified microorganisms can be patented 1981-First DNA synthesizers sold 1988-PCR method published 1990-Human genome project initiated 1996-Complete DNA sequence of a eukaryote (yeast) determined 1997-Nuclear cloning of a mammal (a sheep named Dolly) 2000-Arabidopsis genome sequenced 2001-Human genome sequenced 2002-Complete human gene microarrays (gene chips) available 2009-FDA approves first drug produced in a genetically engineered animal (a goat)

4 Many scientific disciplines contribute to molecular biotechnology, which generates a wide range of commercial products

5 Common host organisms used in molecular biotechnology E. coli Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Insect cell lines Plant cell lines Animal cell lines

6 Review protein secretion and protein targeting Signal peptide sequences Consider gram negative vs. gram positive bacteria Consider eukaryotic cells In eukaryotic cells, short peptide sequences (or other modifications) tell a protein where to go See MCB Chapter 5- Protein sorting http://bcs.whfreeman.com/lodish5e/pages/bcs- main.asp?v=category&s=00010&n=05000&i=05010.01&o=|00510|00610 |00520|00530|00540|00560|00570|00590|00600|00700|00710|0001 0|00020|00030|00040|00050|01000|02000|03000|04000|05000|060 00|07000|08000|09000|10000|11000|&ns=0 http://bcs.whfreeman.com/lodish5e/pages/bcs- main.asp?v=category&s=00010&n=05000&i=05010.01&o=|00510|00610 |00520|00530|00540|00560|00570|00590|00600|00700|00710|0001 0|00020|00030|00040|00050|01000|02000|03000|04000|05000|060 00|07000|08000|09000|10000|11000|&ns=0
