Manipulating genes and cells (Kap. 10) ¾ restriction enzymes and agarose gel electrophoresis ¾ DNA sequencing ¾ nucleic acid hybridization techniques ¾ genomic and cDNA libraries ¾ cloning of DNA ¾ PCR and PCR applications ¾ isolating cells and growing them in culture ¾ protein expression in recombinant cell lines ¾ genetically altered animals and plants Experimenting with DNA Traditional crossbreeding Genetic engeneering •Transfer of many genes •Transfer of a single or a few gene •Genes are not known •Genes are known •Large changes in protein expression •Small changes in protein expression •Within species •Between species DNA The DNA-helix In 1953, based on X-ray diffraction images taken by Rosalind Franklin and the information that the bases were paired, James D. Watson and Francis Crick suggested the DNA structure in the journal Nature. Experimental evidence for Watson and Crick's model were published in a series of five articles in the same issue of Nature. Restriction enzymes, molecular scissors from bacteria EcoR1 bound to DNA Restriction endonucleases cleave DNA at specific nucleotide sequences The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1978 "for the discovery of restriction enzymes and their application to problems of molecular genetics" Werner Arber Daniel Nathans Hamilton O.

There are more than 600 genomes completey sequenced in 2007 See GOLD (genome online databases at http://www.genomesonline.org) The future of DNA sequencing • In May 2007, James D. Watson, the co-discoverer of the molecular structure of DNA, became the first person to receive his own complete personal genome sequenced. • The cost was less than $1 million (0.03 cents per base). • It took less than two months. • It is realistic to expect that within the next ten years, rapid low-cost sequencing of human genomes will become a reality. • Æ Pharmacogenomics • Æ Genotyping Hybridization of DNA Southern blotting (DNA) Northern blotting (mRNA) Western blotting (protein) E. Southern, "Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gelelectrophoresis," J Mol Biol, 98:503, 1975. A Northern blot shows amount and size of mRNA of 1 gene present in different tissues DNA microarrays (DNA chips) look at many genes (whole transcriptomes) at once glas or silicium chip each dot represents DNA of one gene spotted on the chip and hybridized with the 2 probes -> identify up- or downregulated genes in different samples Genes (DNA) can be located on chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) 6 different DNA probes 2 dots on the maternal, 2 on the paternal chromosome 5 (chromosomes have already replicated their DNA) mRNA can be located on cells by in situ hybridization Radioactively labeled probe, exposure on X-ray film Non-radioactive labeled probe, visible precipitating reaction product Multi-labeling techniques different coloured enzymatic reaction products: Different fluorochromes: Ligation of DNA to form recombinant DNA molecules in vitro Some bacteria can efficiently take up DNA from their surrounding introduction of DNA into bacteria: transformation introduction of DNA into eukaryotic cells: transfection A typical plasmid cloning vector DNA cloning DNA ligase inserts a DNA fragment into a bacterial plasmid DNA plasmid is introduced into a bacterium and replicates Construction of a genomic library to isolate human genes by DNA cloning Colony hybridization: identification of bacterial colonies containing a particular DNA Synthesis of cDNA (reverse transcriptase) • Many essential molecular biology techniques (working with restriction enzymes, ligations) do not work with single-stranded mRNA • mRNA is rather instable and rapidly degraded by ubiqitary RNAses • Therefore, the sequence information from a mRNA molecule is first transcribed into a more stable and clonable DNA copy (cDNA) Genomic versus cDNA clones PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplifies DNA sequences The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1993 Michael Smith Canada, for his fundamental contributions to the establishment of oligonucleotide-based, sitedirected mutagenesis and its development for protein studies Kary B. Mullis USA, for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method PCR machine Obtaining genomic or cDNA clones by PCR PCR can be used to detect viral infections in a blood sample Real-time or quantitative PCR Often using SYBRE-Green, a dye that emits fluorescent light only when bound to double-stranded DNA produced in the PCR-reaction tube Recombinant protein expression in cell lines New recombinant plasmids are spliced together Large amounts of protein are produced in cell culture An expression vector (plasmid DNA) MCS (multiple cloning site) Strong eucaryotic promoter from the cytomegalo virus Resistence gene for E. coli Resistence gene for mammalian cell lines From gene to protein and from protein to gene Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate specific types of cells FACS Cells in culture Fibroblast secrete collagen Muscle cells contract Nerve cells make synapses Epithelial cells make sheets HeLa cells (cervical cancer from Henrietta Lacks) Nomarsky Phase contrast CHO-K1 (chinese hamster ovary) cell line A cell culture lab Working in cell culture sterile, sterile, sterile! 12-wells 6-wells 24-wells 1536-wells 96-wells Reporter genes can determine the pattern of a gene´s expression When is the gene expressed? Where is the gene expressed? How much? Green fluorescent protein (GFP) Bioluminescence reaction in aequorea victoria Green fluorescent protein (GFP) can identify specific cells in a living animal About 20 neurons in a Drosophila embryo express GFP under the control of a neuronal fly promoter GFP expressed in the eyes of Drosophila A cell-membrane protein fused to GFP Fluorescent proteins Spectra of fluorescent proteins β-galactosidase as a reporter gene Section of a fly brain Genetically engineered organisms Gene addition: e.g. GFP as a marker in transgenic animals Creating a ”Knockout mouse” using embryonic stem cells (ES cells) to selectively delete a single gene/protein The phenotype of this KOmouse can give a hint to the physiological function of this protein in the wild-type organism Antisense RNA can generate dominant negative mutations RNA interference (RNAi) knock-down Transgenic plants can be made with an Agrobacterium A tobacco plant expressing GFP Bio-pharming (transgenic plants) Inserting genes that instruct a plant to manufacture pharmaceutical compounds: plants as drug-producing bioreactors. Golden rice Rice expressing 3 transgenes responsible for provitamin-A (beta-carotene) synthesis Gene-pharming (transgenic animals) mostly used to make human proteins that have medicinal value. The protein is secreted into the animal's milk, eggs or blood, and then collected and purified.
