Application in Molecular Cloning David Shiuan Department of Life Science, Institute of Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Program of Bioinformatics National Dong Hwa University Molecular Cloning In order to have enough DNA to work with for a single gene or sequence, you must have a way to “clone”, or reproduce many exact copies of that gene. This is called “molecular cloning” Gene of interest Plasmid Cloning Vector 1. Small 2. Stable in the chosen host – usually E. coli 3. High copy number 4. Easy to purifiy 5. Can accommodate foriegn DNA 6. Single “cloning” sites 7. Selectable marker – antibiotic resistance 8. Easily introduced into host (transformation or transduction Gene fusion systems – monitor the activity of a gene by fusing it to another Current favorites are the autofluorescent proteins HeLa cells expressing gfp and rfp Clontech website YAC(Yeast artificial chromsome) self-replicating vector that can be maintained in yeast Can accommodate large insert Reeves et al., 1992, Methods Enzymol. 216:584-603 BAC (bacterial artificial chromsomes) Derived from the F plasmid of E. coli low copy number (1-2 copies per cell) Shizuya et al, 1992, PNAS 89:9794-8797 Informatics for Molecular Cloning Restriction Enzyme Site Analysis PCR Cloning –primer design Codon Usage Analysis Plasmid Construct – plasmid drawing PCR primer selection Primer Length Melting Temperature (Tm) Specificity Complementary Primer Sequences G/C content and Polypyrimidine (T, C) or polypurine (A, G) stretches 3’-end Sequence Primer 3 Codon Usage – differ from organisms
