What are some potential difficulties in using plasmid vectors and bacterial host cells to produce large quantitiesof proteins from cloned eukaryotic genes?
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.
A shuttle vector is a vector (usually a plasmid) constructed so that it can propagate in two
different host species. One of the most common types of shuttle vectors is the
yeast shuttle
vector. Examples of such vectors derived from yeast are Yeast Episomal Plasmid (YEP),
Yeast Integrating Plasmid (YIP) and Yeast Replicating Plasmid (YRP). Why is YEP preferred
over YIP and YRP? Give your thoughts on this.

Why or Why not?arrow_forwardA) Outline the experimental procedure for cloning a eukaryotic gene and expressing it in E. coli. Focus on the essential steps starting with eukaryotic gene amplification to transformation of E. coli cells B) Explain how insertional inactivation can help you identify the colonies that carry the plasmid with your eukaryotic gene of interest C) Plasmids containing antibiotic resistance genes are widely used in gene cloning and other molecular biology techniques. What would happen if the eukaryotic gene was inserted into an antibiotic resistance gene on the plasmid?arrow_forward
- When using a conventional plasmid cloning vector containing a b-galactosidase gene, it is possible to perform a "blue-white screen" to determine which bacteria have taken up a plasmid into which a DNA fragment as been inserted, as opposed to those that have taken up just reclosed plasmid vector, by growing the transformed cells on nutrient agar plates containing the artificial b-gal substrate X-gal. Will bacteria that have taken up a plasmid into which a DNA fragment has been inserted form a blue colony or a white colony when grown on this medium? Briefly explain why these bacteria would form a colony of the color you chose.arrow_forwardPlasmids are the only vectors currently available for use in recombinant procedures.True or false?arrow_forwardWhen an E. coli donor cell duplicates a strand of plasmid DNA, and passes this DNA strand to a recipient E. coli cell, without the use of naked DNA in solution or of a viral vector, this is: an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lysogenic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of lytic bacteriophages an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transformation an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of transduction an example of horizontal gene transfer by means of conjugationarrow_forward
- Why are nucleic acid probes necessary to lyse cells containing plasmids in order to detect the product of the cloned gene?arrow_forwardWhen cloning a piece of DNA, the purpose of using the LacZ blue-white colony method is to A) Remove bacteria that do not have recombinant vectors B) Remove bacteria that do not have the DNA insert of interest Remove linear DNA Distinguish colonies that have recombinant vectors from those with non-recombinant vectors. E) Remove bacteria that have not taken up the vectorarrow_forwardList the major steps that would be required to clone the human insulin gene into a plasmid and to identify bacterial colonies that contain the plasmid with the insulin gene inserted.

- What are the essential elements of a plasmid cloning vector? Discuss the importance of each element for dna cloning.arrow_forwardIf we were to examine a strain with the F plasmid inserted into the same site of the bacterial chromosome, but in the reverse orientation: a) What would the order of gene transfer be? Include all of the genetic markers including the amino acid and nucleic acid metabolism genes and streptomycin resistance. b) What cell types would be able to grow on the NA vs ECM media types? Be sure to include the genotypes of the cells that would grow. Remember that NA provides all nutrients the bacteria needs + no antibiotic and HCM = minimal medium + glucose + has streptomycin antibiotic c) Would we still be able to perform our mapping? Why or why not? (Hint: refer to part b above)arrow_forwardIt is desired to isolate genomic DNA from liquid culture of S. cerevisiae yeast. A commercial kit will be used to isolate genomic DNA from this liquid culture. Answer the following questions to understand the strategy used by commercial kits for genomic DNA isolation. a) List all the steps from cell pellet preparation to DNA elution. b) With which feature can the membrane in the column that comes with the commercial kit bind DNA? c) Which component in the kit would you use to recover the DNA from the membrane of the column to which the DNA was attached?arrow_forward
