13
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 9.2 A restriction enzyme's role in making rDNA. A restriction enzyme cuts (red arrows) double-stranded DNA at its particular recognition sites, shown in blue. These cuts produce a DNA fragment with two sticky ends. DNA from another source, perhaps a plasmid, cut with the same restriction enzyme When two such fragments of DNA cut by the same restriction enzyme come together, they can join by base pairing. The joined fragments will usually form either a linear molecule or a circular one, as shown here for a plasmid. Other combinations of fragments can also occur. The enzyme DNA ligase is used to unite the backbones of the two DNA fragments, producing a molecule of rDNA. Recognition sites DNACut Sticky end rDNA

35
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Selecting a Clone Blue-white screening Uses plasmid vector containing ampicillin resistance gene (amp R ) and β-galactosidase gene (lacZ) Bacteria is grown in media containing ampicillin and X-gal, a substrate for β-galactosidase
36
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 9.11 Blue-white screening, one method of selecting recombinant bacteria. Ampicillin-resistance gene (amp R ) Plasmid DNA and foreign DNA are both cut with the same restriction enzyme. The plasmid has the genes for lactose hydrolysis (the lacZ gene encodes the enzyme β-galactosidase) and ampicillin resistance. Plasmid Foreign DNA Recombinant plasmid Foreign DNA will insert into the lacZ gene. The bacterium receiving the plasmid vector will not produce the enzyme β-galactosidase if foreign DNA has been inserted into the plasmid. The recombinant plasmid is introduced into a bacterium, which becomes ampicillin resistant. All treated bacteria are spread on a nutrient agar plate containing ampicillin and a β-galactosidase substrate and incubated. The β-galactosidase substrate is called X-gal. Only bacteria that picked up the plasmid will grow in the presence of ampicillin. Bacteria that hydrolyze X-gal produce galactose and an indigo compound. The indigo turns the colonies blue. Bacteria that cannot hydrolyze X-gal produce white colonies. Bacterium Restriction site β-galactosidase gene (lacZ) Restriction sites Colonies with foreign DNA

55
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 9.16 Southern blotting. Restriction enzyme DNA containing the gene of interest is extracted from human cells and cut into fragments by restriction enzymes. Fragments are called restriction fragment length polymorphisms, or RFLPs (pronounced "rif-lips"). The DNA bands are transferred to a nitrocellulose filter by blotting. The solution passes through the gel and filter to the paper towels by capillary action. Labeled probes This produces a nitrocellulose filter with DNA fragments positioned exactly as on the gel. The fragments are separated according to size by gel electrophoresis. Each band contains many copies of a particular DNA fragment. The bands are invisible but can be made visible by staining. Smaller Larger Gene of interest The filter is exposed to a labeled probe for a specific gene. The probe will base-pair (hybridize) with a short sequence present on the gene. The fragment containing the gene of interest is identified by a band on the filter.
