plasmid
Chapter 2A goals
Slide6Session 1 – 45 minutes
Review chapter goalsAnswer the What do you already know
questions
Have students read Plasmids and Restriction Enzymes and answer the CONSIDER questionsLead a discussion on student answersSession 2 – 45 minutesStudents complete Clone that gene exerciseAnswer the Stop and Think questionsSession 3 – 45 minutes
Students complete Laboratory 2a
Answer all of the corresponding
questions
Proposed sequence of activities
Slide7QUESTION: Why is circular better
?!?!
Bacteria CAN have 2 forms of DNA:
ChromosomeSingle loop of DNACondensed and segregated into a region called nucleoidContains all information necessary for lifePlasmid Small loop of DNANonessentialExtrachromosomal – “outside” the chromosome
Vectors
Replicate autonomously
Bacterial DNA
Slide8Power of plasmid as vector
recognized… but how to incorporate foreign gene of interest??
Transformation
Uptake of DNA from environmentConjugationTransfer of DNA from one bacterium to anotherTransduction Transfer of DNA via a bacteriophageExogenous genetic transfer of bacteria

Plasmid Vector
Ori
Sequence where enzymes bind to
Initiate DNA replicationAbility to undergo transcriptionPromoter sequence binds RNA polymeraseAll genes have
promoters
next them (must be together)
Antibiotic resistance
Genes for antibiotic resistance
common
Genes code for proteins that inhibit action of
antibiotics
Secreted by microbes against microbes
Make it a useful tool in identifying bacteria
Restriction
enzymes
Plasmid as the ideal vector for genetic engineering
Slide10Bacteriophage
Some E. coli resistant to infection by a bacteriophage
Let to discovery of restriction enzymes
Proteins that restrict growth of bacteriophageRecognize and destroy phage DNA without damaging host cellRecognition sitesSpecific sites DNA is cut (digestion) at
Restriction Enzymes
Slide11Restriction Enzymes
Must cut at correct site to ensure no genes are disturbed
Keep
Ori, promoter, and gene for antibiotic resistanceMust cut plasmid near promoter so inserted gene expressedCut human DNA close to gene of interestGene for insulinCut asymmetrically to create sticky endsSingle stranded overlapping endImportant when reannealing sequences
Recognition sites are palindromes
What's in a name??
Slide12Blunt Ends
“Sticky” Ends
STICKY ENDS

ENGINEERING THE PLASMID
LIGATION OF RFP GENE
Slide16Plasmid + restriction enzymes = Recombinant Plasmid
Contains portions of original plasmid and “new” DNA sequence
Insert desired gene
DNA ligaseChimera GMO!!
Slide17Activity - Clone that Gene
Make a paper model of a recombinant plasmid that contains insulin gene
Three tasks:
Cut the plasmid and the human DNA with correct restriction enzymes
Insert insulin gene into plasmid
Determine which antibiotic you would use to ID bacteria
that have taken in the plasmid
Slide18Slide19Alternatives
? Pipe cleaner activity
Slide20pARA
-R plasmidrfp geneRed fluorescent protein
Use this as our insulin
modelHow does this all apply to ABE?
Slide21Chapter 2A
How do you begin to clone a gene?
Slide22Restriction digest
Use restriction enzymes to cut plasmid
Ensure recombinant plasmid is correct one for making red fluorescent protein
pARA-RLength of fragments can be determined by gel electrophoresisPurpose:
Slide23ampR
Ampicillin resistance
Red fluorescent protein (
rfp) genePromoterInitiate transcriptionOri siteInitiate DNA replicationaraCSequence that activates the promoter when arabinose present in environmentpBAD
Regulatory molecule for the arabinose
promoter
pARA
-R
plasmid = Recombinant
plasmid
Slide24pARA-R plasmid – how does it work?
Activator (
araC
) controls promoterArabinose present:Sugar binds to promoter and changes shape
Promoter binds RNA polymerase = transcription
Arabinose absent:
araC
protein block RNA polymerase
Promoter will NOT bind RNA polymerase = NO transcription

araA
&

genes removed and replaced by
rfp
gene
What will transcription phenotypically translate to?
Slide25pARA-R plasmid
Constructed to use two restriction enzymes
BamHI
