Can you give an example of a modified (tagged) primers to amplify E. coli UidA sequence and subclone into appropriate vector (pUC19)?
Several common antibiotics affect some strains of bacteria's ability to carry out transcription and/or translation. For example:
Rifamycin inhibits prokaryotic RNA polymerase
Chloramphenicol blocks the transfer of the peptide from the P to A site.
a) For each of these drugs, identify at what point it could affect the process of DNA->RNA->protein. Be as specific as possible.
b) Why do you think these drugs kill bacteria but spare animal cells? (Hint: remember bacteria are prokaryotes)
What is the concept behind RNAI? Explain in terms of how it works.

- In bacterial transformation, the purpose of having antibiotic within an agar plate is to: Select one: confirm which plasmids been have successfully ligated with a gene of interest. isolate bacteria which have been successfully transformed with the plasmid. indicate which plasmids were successfully digested by the endonuclease. act as a substrate which will be cleaved and produce a blue product when ligation is unsuccessful. show which plasmids contain the lacZ gene.arrow_forwardUsing a ThermoFisher GeneJet Miniprep plasmid isolation kit to isolate plasmids from bacteria: Use of RNAse increases purity of purified plasmids. This enzyme will be added when the cells are lysed, detroying all RNA in the sample. Why will this action increase the purity of an isolated plasmid sample? This will only be used for the plasmids isolated using the GeneJet purification columns, and not when performing alkaline lysis. How will this affect the predicted results for the alkaline lysis plasmid isolations?arrow_forwardThe following DNA sequence is from a bacteriophage that infects a pathogenic bacterium and scientists want to know if this bacteriophage could prove to be a potential treatment against it. But first scientists need to discover if different strains of this pathogen have restriction endonucleases that it may use for its own protection. They try 3 different RE’s:a) EcoR1 b) HaeIII c) BamH1 Look up the recognition sequences for the 3 Res. Enzymes above and check whether the phage genome (a snippet of which is shown below) will or will not be ‘cut’.
