    Learning Goals: Insert your uncut unknown plasmid into chemically competent DH-5 E.coli cells and use antibiotic resistance to confirm the success of the transformation. You should familiarize yourself with the various methods of transformation and the advantages/disadvantages of each type. You should also understand how heat shock transformation works and how chemically competent cells make this type of transformation possible. For this transformation antibiotic markers associated with foreign pieces of DNA will be used to help verify that the DNA of interest was successfully inserted into the vector.…

    Plasmids are small circular autonomously replicating pieces of DNA that can be found inside of a prokaryotic bacterial cell. By barrowing a cell’s polymerase they replicate their own DNA. They are easy to extract from the bacterial cells due to their size. Plasmids are helpful for cloning foreign genes because of their ability to express antibiotic resistance as well their ability to be modified to express proteins of interest. A pGLO plasmid contains genes for the green florescent protein (GFP) as well as the gene for ampicillin resistance known as beta-lactamase. It also contains a gene regulation system (operon) that has the ability to control expression of the GFP gene in transformed cells known as araC. The source of GFP is naturally founds within a…

    “For nearly 15 years Ham Smith, Clyde Hutchison and the rest of our team have been working toward this publication today--the successful completion of our work to construct a bacterial cell that is fully controlled by a synthetic genome,” said J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., founder and president, JCVI and senior author on the paper. “We have been consumed by this research, but we have also been equally focused on addressing the societal implications of what we believe will be one of the most powerful technologies and industrial drivers for societal good. We look forward to continued review and dialogue about the important applications of this work to ensure that it is used for the benefit of all.”…

    Sequence encoding V-domain was obtained from Swiss-port, Uniprot KB and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases. 6x His-tag sequence was placed at N-terminal followed by termination codon (TAA). NcoI and BamHI restriction sites were added at C-terminal and XhoI at N-terminal. Codon optimization was done for Expression in E. coli by the genescript Company (860 Centennial Ave., Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA). The optimized sequence was synthesized and inserted in to the pBSK (+) vector (Biomatik, Canada). Simple pBSK(+) is highly recommended for standard cloning purpose.…

    In the second part of the lab, lateral gene transfer by generalized transduction was done on E.coli cells. In the process of transduction, the transfer of genes is facilitated by bacteriophage, which is a virus that infects a bacterial host (1). Generalized transduction involves lytic infections that kill the bacterial cells, and during the process, bacterial DNA is packaged into a new phage head which in turn injects the DNA into another bacterium (1). In this lab, P1vir phage was used and grown on the donor strain by making a phage lysate. P1vir phage kills bacterial cells by lytic infections, which is required in the generalized transduction (1). On the other hand, the wild-type p1 is a lysogenic phage and therefore could not be used for the generalized transduction (1). In order to prevent excessive killing of the recipient E.coli strain, the P1vir lysate was tittered by serial dilutions. This would also prevent infection and lysis of the transducing particle. In generalized transduction, trp-pyrF region of CSH61 chromosome, which was the P1vir lysate, was laterally transferred to the recipient CSH54 strain. The genotypes of…

    Gene Cloning

    • 1802 Words
    • 8 Pages

    One aspect of the DNA cloning experiments that is carefully considered is the selection of cloning vectors. A variety of vectors have been created, each being suitable for a particular use. One common vector used in laboratories is a plasmid called pUC19. It is 2686 base pairs long and possesses an origin of replication which allows the production of over 100 copies in a competent E.coli cell. It possesses a multiple cloning site (MCS) which is artificially implanted by adding a polylinker sequence to it. The pUC19 plasmid is also altered by inserting a gene that codes for beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (Read and Strachan 2011). The MCS occupies the 5’ end of the gene lacZ (Sherwood, Willey and Woolverton 2012). This gene codes for only the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase, an enzyme used to break down the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose (Read and Strachan 2011). The aim of this experiment is to incorporate a cDNA called CIH-1, from plasmid pBK-CMV, into pUC19.…

    Gene Cloning allows the amplification of target sequences (e.g. Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2/ insert) transferred as part of a vector (his- tagged pbluescript) into Escherichia Coli which reproduces asexually yielding progenies that contain the desired recombinant plasmid (Dale and Schantz, 2007). pbluescript is a bacterial based relaxed phagemid (~2.9kb), derived from pUC 19 which has 2 origins of replication (f1 and Col E1), 2 selectable marker Lac Z´ and ampR gene and due to its mutated RNA I it has a high copy number. It’s competent as cloning vector because it contains a multiple cloning site and transcribed by bacterial RNA…
