Summary Introduction

To explain: Digestion products by the enzyme EcoRI.

Introduction:

Enzymes that recognize and cleave specific sites of the DNA molecule are called restriction enzymes. When the cleavage occurs at the end of the DNA molecule, it is referred to as exonucleases and when the cleavage occurs within the DNA molecule, it is called endonucleases. Restriction enzymes were first discovered in bacteria. A bacterium contains restriction enzymes within it to degrade the foreign DNA entering the cell and protects itself from enzymes by chemically modifying its own DNA.

Different bacteria contain different enzymes that will have unique cleavage properties that only cleave the DNA at specific sites. In recombinant DNA technology, restriction enzymes are isolated from different bacteria and are utilized to cut the desired DNA at specific sites. The enzymes cleave the sequences differently. The enzyme cleaves the sequences either by sticky ends or by blunt ends. Blunt ends are formed when the enzymes make a straight cut in the given sequences. The sticky ends are characterized by a cut made by the enzyme producing a staggered end. Different enzymes cleave the given sequence variably. EcoRI and Hind III produce staggered (sticky ends) ends while Hae III makes blunt ends.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
