Gene Cloning Techniques for gene cloning enable scientists to prepare multiple identical copies of gene-sized pieces of DNA. Most methods for cloning pieces of DNA share certain general features. For example, a foreign gene is inserted into a bacterial plasmid and this recombinant DNA molecule is returned to a bacterial cell. Every time this cell reproduces, the recombinant plasmid is replicated as well and passed on to its descendents. Under suitable conditions, the bacterial clone will make the protein encoded by the foreign gene.

One basic cloning technique begins with the insertion of a foreign gene into a bacterial plasmid. Fig. 20.1 Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

One goal may be to produce a protein product for use. A second goal may be to prepare many copies of the gene itself. This may enable scientists to determine the gene’s nucleotide sequence or provide an organism with a new metabolic capability by transferring a gene from another organism.

Restriction Enzymes In nature, bacteria use restriction enzymes to cut foreign DNA, such as from phages or other bacteria. Most restrictions enzymes are very specific, recognizing short DNA nucleotide sequences and cutting at specific point in these sequences.

Each restriction enzyme cleaves a specific sequence of bases called a restriction site. These are often a symmetrical series of four to eight bases on both strands running in opposite directions. If the restriction site on one strand is 3’-CTTAAG-5’, the complementary strand is 5’-GAATTC-3 Restriction enzymes cut covalent phosphodiester bonds of both strands, often in a staggered way creating single-stranded ends, sticky ends. These extensions will form hydrogen-bonded base pairs with complementary single-stranded stretches on other DNA molecules cut with the same restriction enzyme

Recombinant DNA vectors Recombinant plasmids are produced by splicing restriction fragments from foreign DNA into plasmids. A plasmid is a circular piece of DNA found in bacteria and contain genes. Plasmids can be used to insert DNA from another organism into a bacterial cell. Then, as a bacterium carrying a recombinant plasmid reproduces, the plasmid replicates within it.

Bacteria are most commonly used as host cells for gene cloning because DNA can be easily isolated and reintroduced into their cells. Bacteria cultures also grow quickly, rapidly replicating the foreign genes. Bacteria will also produce large amounts of the protein of interest

The process of cloning a gene in a bacterial plasmid can be divided into five steps. Fig. 20.3 Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

1. Isolation of vector and gene-source DNA. The source DNA may come from human tissue cells. The source of the plasmid is typically E. coli. This plasmid carries useful genes, such as ampR, conferring resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

2. Insertion of DNA into the vector. By digesting both the plasmid and human DNA with the same restriction enzyme we can create thousands of human DNA fragments, one fragment with the gene that we want, and with compatible sticky ends on bacterial plasmids. After mixing, the human fragments and cut plasmids form complementary pairs that are then joined by DNA ligase. This creates a mixture of recombinant DNA molecules.

3. Introduction of the cloning vector into cells. Bacterial cells take up the recombinant plasmids by transformation. This creates a diverse pool of bacteria, some bacteria that have taken up the desired recombinant plasmid DNA, other bacteria that have taken up other DNA, both recombinant and nonrecombinant.

4. Cloning of cells (and foreign genes). We can plate out the transformed bacteria on a solid nutrient medium containing ampicillin. Only bacteria that have the ampicillin-resistance plasmid will grow. 5. Identifying cell clones with the right gene. In the final step, we will sort through the thousands of bacterial colonies with foreign DNA to find those containing our gene of interest.

One technique to test the clones of interest is to use DNA or Nucleic acid hybridization. This technique depends on base pairing between our gene and a short piece of DNA or RNA with a complementary sequence to the gene called a Probe, The sequence of our RNA or DNA probe depends on knowledge of at least part of the sequence of our gene. A radioactive or fluorescent tag labels the probe so that if it bind with our gene we can detect it’s presence. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) clones DNA entirely in vitro When the source of DNA is scanty or impure, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is quicker and more selective. Its limitation is that PCR only produces short DNA segments within a gene and not entire genes. This technique can quickly amplify any piece of DNA without using cells. Devised in 1985, PCR has had a major impact on biological research and technology. Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

The DNA is incubated in a test tube with special DNA polymerase, a supply of nucleotides, and short pieces of single-stranded DNA as a primer. Fig. 20.7 Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

This is faster than cloning via recombinant bacteria. PCR can make billions of copies of a targeted DNA segment in a few hours. This is faster than cloning via recombinant bacteria. In PCR, a three-step cycle: heating, cooling, and replication, brings about a chain reaction that produces an exponentially growing population of DNA molecules. PCR can make many copies of a specific gene before cloning in cells, simplifying the task of finding a clone with that gene. PCR is so specific and powerful that only minute amounts of DNA need be present in the starting material Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

PCR has amplified DNA from a variety of sources: fragments of ancient DNA from a 40,000-year-old frozen wooly mammoth, DNA from tiny amount of blood or semen found at the scenes of violent crimes, DNA from single embryonic cells for rapid prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders, DNA of viral genes from cells infected with difficult-to-detect viruses such as HIV.
