In the formation of recombinant DNA, a restriction endonuclease cuts a bacterial plasmid to give sticky ends. The DNA segments that are to be added to the plasmid are cleaved with the same restriction endonuclease. What aresticky ends and why is it important that the target DNA and the plasmid it will be incorporated into have complementary sticky ends?
A small DNA molecule was cleaved with several different restriction nucleases, and the size of each fragment was determined by gel electrophoresis.The following data were obtained.
(a) Is the original molecule linear or circular?(b) Draw a map of restriction sites (showing distances between sites) that isconsistent with the data given.(c) How many additional maps are compatible with the data?(d) What would have to be done to locate the cleavage sites unambiguouslywith respect to each other?
The plasmid cloning vector pBR322 is cleaved with the restriction endonuclease PstI. An isolated DNA fragment from a eukaryotic genome (also produced by PstI cleavage) is added to the prepared vector and ligated. The mixture of ligated DNAs is then used to transform bacteria, and plasmid-containing bacteria are selected by growth in the presence of tetracycline.
The cloned DNA fragment is 1,000 bp long and has an EcoRI site 250 bp from one end. Three different recombinant plasmids are cleaved with EcoRI and analyzed by gel electrophoresis, giving the patterns shown below.
What does each pattern say about the cloned DNA?
Note: pBR322, the PstI and EcoRI restriction sites are about 750 bp apart. The entire plasmid with no cloned insert is 4,361 bp. Size markers in lane 4 have the number of nucleotides noted.
