Genetic engineering: is a process where genetic material (DNA) is taken from one organism and inserted into the cells of another organism. Also, can be the rearrangement of gene location or the removal of genes. The “altered” organism then makes new substances or performs new functions based on its new DNA. For example, the protein insulin, used in the treatment of diabetes, now can be produced in large quantities by genetically engineered bacteria and yeasts. Insulin was formerly extracted from pigs or cows. 1.2 What can genetic engineering do? 1- Improve organism ability to do something it already does. For example, an adjustment in the amino acid balance in a particular corn variety improves the corn’s ability to be stored. 2- Suppress or stop organism from doing something it already does. For example, the gene that codes for the softening of tomatoes is “turned off” in a genetically engineered tomato variety so the tomatoes do not soften as quickly. 3- Make organism do something new. For example, particular bacteria and yeasts have been genetically engineered to produce chymosin, an enzyme used in cheese production. 1.3 What are the basic procedures for producing a genetically engineered product? The actual procedures for producing a genetically engineered product are very complex. However, most genetically engineered products are produced using the basic steps described below: 2 a) Trait identification: Traits of organisms are identified. b) Gene discovery: Genes for the desired traits are identified. c) Gene cloning: The desired gene is inserted into a bacterial cell and, as bacteria reproduce, the desired gene is also reproduced. d) Gene verification: Researchers study the copies of the gene using molecular techniques to verify that the replicated gene is precisely what is wanted. e) Gene implantation: Using a bacterium or other procedure, the desired gene is transferred into the chromosomes of the host cells. f) Cell regeneration: Researchers select the host cells that contain the new gene and regenerate whole organism from the selected host cells. g) The new organism testing: Laboratory and field-testing occur to verify the function and safety of the new organism. h) Cell proliferation: Cells with the desired traits are produced using standards set for specific cell production. 2. Molecular definitions: Chromosomes: An aggregates of DNA and protein found in every living thing. It is a packaged and organized structure containing most of the DNA of a living organism. Most eukaryotic cells have a set of chromosomes (46 in humans) with the genetic material spread among them. In prokaryotic cells, chromosome free-floating in cytoplasm. 3 DNA: Is the genetic material of living organisms is composed of a substance called deoxyribonucleic acid, abbreviated DNA. It is stores the information needed for the synthesis of all cellular proteins. In other words, the main function of the genetic blueprint is to code for the production of cellular proteins in the correct cell, at the proper time, and in suitable amounts. This is an extremely complicated task because living cells make thousands of different proteins. DNA’s ability to store information is based on its structure. It is composed of a linear sequence of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains one of four nitrogen bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), or cytosine (C). The linear order of these bases along a DNA molecule contains information similar to the way that groups of letters of the alphabet represent words. For example, the “meaning” of the sequence of bases ATGGGCCTTAGC differs from that of TTTAAGCTTGCC. DNA Sequence ATG GGC Amino Acid Sequence CTT AGC Phenylalanine Lysine Leucine Alanine TTT AAG CTT GCC Methionine Glycine Leucine Serine So that, the DNA considered, the molecule of life. For example, human body have trillions of cells. Each cell contains: 46 human chromosomes, found in 23 pairs, then 2 meters of DNA Approximately 3 billion DNA base pairs per set of chromosomes, containing the bases A, T, G, and C , Approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes coding for proteins that perform most life functions ( Figure 1). 4 Figure 1: The DNA found in the cell nucleus of the complete set of human chromosomes. People have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Collectively, each set of chromosomes is composed of a DNA sequence that is approximately 3 billion nucleotide base pairs long. Estimates suggest that each set contains about 20,000 to 25,000 different genes. Most genes encode proteins. Genetics: Is the branch of biology that deals with heredity and variation. It allowing us to understand how life can exist at all levels of complexity and its continuity from generation to generation, ranging from the molecular to the population level. Genetic variation is the root of the natural diversity that we observe among members of the same species as well as among different species. DNA sequences within most genes contain the information to direct the order of amino acids within polypeptides according to the genetic code. In the code, a three-base sequence specifies one particular amino acid among the 20 possible choices. One or more polypeptides form a functional protein. In this way, the DNA can store the information to specify the proteins made by an organism. 5 What is a gene? Genes are sequences of DNA, which serve as blueprints for the production of proteins in all living things. DNA is found in all cells, usually in the nuclei. In bacteria and viruses, which do not have nuclei, the DNA floats within the cell. DNA is composed of six molecules: sugars, phosphates and four bases. A gene produces a specific protein or has an assigned function. Gene: The molecular unit of an organism that contains information for a specific trait (specific DNA sequence), and it is a segment of DNA that produces a functional product. The functional product of most genes is a polypeptide, which is a linear sequence of amino acids that folds into units that constitute proteins. 6 Genome: An entire set of genes for an organism. It is the genetic material of an organism and consists of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The genome includes both the genes, (the coding regions), the noncoding DNA and the genomes of the mitochondria and chloroplasts. GMO: Acronym for genetically modified organism. It is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques (i.e., a genetically engineered organism). Heredity: a A process within genes are passed on from one generation to the next. 7 Nucleotides: Are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group. Thus, anucleoside plus a phosphate group yields a nucleotide. Plasmid: The circular DNA structure used by bacteria. It is a small DNA molecule within a cell that is physically separated from a chromosomal DNA and can replicate independently. Protein: Large biomolecules used by an organism for a number of purposes; in this context, to express a desired trait. 8 Recombinant DNA(rDNA): DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) to bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome. Restriction enzyme: An enzyme that "cuts" DNA when specific base pair sequences are present. Trait: A distinguishing characteristic. characteristics of organisms. 9 Genes involving with
