Restriction enzymes are “molecular scissors” that ___________________________________________ 2. Restriction enzymes are isolated from __________________ for use in biotechnology research. a. The function of restriction enzymes in bacterial cells is to cut apart foreign DNA molecules (i.e. from ____________________________________) b. Restriction enzymes are named from the bacterium from which it was discovered. For example: __________________ i. ______ – the first letter of the ___________ name of the bacteria (Escherichia) ii. ______ – the first two letters of the ____________ name of the bacteria (coli) iii. ______ – a particular _________________ of this bacteria (strain RY13) iv. ______ – the particular ________________ among several produced by this strain 3. Restriction enzymes cut DNA in areas of specific base pair sequences, called ____________________ a. In general, a restriction site is a 4- or 6-base-pair sequence that is a ______________________ i. A sequence in which the “top” strand read from 5’ to 3’ is the same as the bottom strand read from 5’ to 3’. ii. Each different restriction enzyme (and there are hundreds) has its own restriction site. The ends of the DNA produced after being cut with a restriction enzyme can be Restriction Enzyme EcoRI BamHI either “blunt” or “sticky” 4. When scientists study a DNA molecule, one of the HindIII first things they do is figure out where many restriction sites are. They then create a AluI “__________________”, showing the locations of cleavage sites for many different enzymes. 5. SmaI After the restriction enzyme cuts the DNA, the fragments are of different lengths and can be HhalI Restriction site 5’ GAATTC 3’ Sticky or Blunt 3’ CTTAAG 3’ 5’ GGATCC 3’ 3’ CCTAGG 5’ 5’ AAGCTT 3’ 3’ TTCGAA 5’ 5’ AGCT 3’ 3’ TCGA 5’ 5’ CCCGGG 3’ 3’ GGGCCC 5’ 5’ GCGC 3’ 3’ CGCG 5’ separated via ____________________________________ 2 Restriction Enzyme Exercises and Questions Exercise 1: Modeling Restriction Enzyme Action 1. Cut the DNA sequence strips (on the separate half sheet) along their borders. These strips represent double stranded DNA molecules. Each strip is labeled 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the upper left hand corner. 2. You will now simulate the activity of EcoRI. Scan along the DNA sequence of strip 1 until you find the EcoRI restriction site. You’ll have to look at your notes to see where on the DNA EcoRI cutes. Using scissors make a cut through the DNA to simulate the action of the EcoRI restriction enzyme. Separate the two pieces of DNA. Look at the new DNA ends produced by EcoRI. Are they sticky or blunt? Write EcoRI on the cut ends. Keep the cut fragments on your desk. 3. Repeat the procedure with strip 2, this time simulating the activity of SmaI. Are the new ends sticky or blunt? Label the new ends SmaI, and keep the DNA fragments on your desk. 4. Simulate the activity of HindIII with strip 3. Are these ends sticky or blunt? Label the new ends HindIII, and keep the fragments. 5. Repeat the procedure once more with strip 4 again simulating EcoRI. Pick up the 'front-end' DNA fragment from strip 4 (an EcoRI fragment) and the “back end” HindIII fragment from strip 3. Both fragments have single stranded tails of 4 bases. Are the base sequences of the HindIII and EcoRI tails complementary? 6. Put down the HindIII fragment, and pick up the back end DNA fragment from strip 1 (cut with EcoRI). Compare the single-stranded tails of the EcoRI fragment from strip 1 and the EcoRI fragment from strip 4. Are they complementary? 7. Imagine that you have cut a completely unknown DNA fragment with EcoRI. Do you think that the single stranded tails of these fragments would be complementary to the single stranded tails of the fragments from strip 1 and strip 4? Why or why not? 8. Tape or staple your restriction enzyme fragments for each DNA strand (labeled 1-4) onto the bottom of this sheet. 3 Exercise 2: Identifying Restriction Sites 9. Locate and label the restriction enzyme sites for EcoRI, HindIII, BamHI, and SmaI in the following sequence of DNA Exercise 3: Reading Restriction Maps 10. The following is a restriction map of a 4.8 kb (kilobases, means “thousand bases long”) piece of DNA. The first bases in the strand would be base #1 and the last would be base 4800. The map below shows that there is a restriction site for HindIII at base # 1400 (1.4kb), a restriction site for XbaI at base #3300 (3.3kb) and a restriction site for HpaII at base #4200 (4.2kb). What will be the lengths of the fragments produced by the following restriction enzymes? a. XbaI only b. HindIII only c. HindIII and HpaII d. HindIII and XbaI 11. A plasmid is a tiny piece of DNA that is separate from the main circular chromosome of a bacterium. Refer to the restriction map of the circular plasmid YIP5. This plasmid contains 5,541 base pairs. There is an EcoRI restriction site at base pair 1. The locations of other restriction sites are shown on the map. The numbers after the enzyme names tell at which base pair that enzyme cuts the DNA. If you exposed the Y1P5 plasmid to EcoRI, the restriction enzyme will cut the DNA, resulting in a linear piece of DNA that is 5,541 base pairs long. a. How many DNA fragments would be produced if the plasmid was exposed to the two enzymes EcoRI and EagI? How many base pairs long would each segment be? b. How many DNA segments would be produced if you took the products from question 11a and exposed them with PvuII? How many base pairs long would each segment be? c. How many DNA fragments would be produced if the original plasmid was exposed to the two enzymes HindIII and ApaI? How many base pairs long would each segment be? d. How many DNA fragments would be produced if the plasmid was exposed to the three enzymes HindIII, ApaI, and PvuI? How many base pairs long would each segment be? 4 Electrophoresis and the Basics behind DNA Fingerprinting 1.

Evolutionary biologists use DNA profiling to: ____________________________________ DNA Fingerprinting Cases A Paternity Case Mr. I.M. Megabucks, the wealthiest man in the world, recently died. Since his death, three women have come forward. Each woman claims to have a child by Megabucks and demands a substantial share of his estate for her child. Lawyers for the estate have insisted on DNA typing of each of the alleged heirs. Fortunately, Megabucks anticipated trouble like this before he died, and he arranged to have a sample of his DNA for analysis. Laboratory technicians used RFLP analysis to look at three highly variable chromosome regions. The results are shown below. Your job is to analyze the data and determine whether any of the children could be Megabucks’ heir. Could any of them be Megabuck’s children? Why or why not? 6 The Case of the Bloody Knife Late one April night, government agents received an anonymous tip that the Smithsonian Museum was about to be robbed of its priceless jewel collection. When the FBI agents arrived at the museum, they saw that they were too late: the jewels were gone. Lying facedown on the floor next to the empty jewel case was the body of a man. The chief inspector recognized the man as Heinrich Milhouse. Milhouse had been shot in the chest at close range; his clothes were saturated with blood. Underneath the body, the inspectors found a bloody knife. At the Washington International Airport the next day, police apprehended Englewood Smink, the murdered thief’s occasional partner in crime. Smink denied all knowledge of the murder and the theft. When asked about the fresh cut on his hand, Smink said that he had had an accident in the kitchen that morning. Suspicious, the chief FBI inspector ordered DNA tests on the vi ctim, the blood on the victim’s clothes, the blood on the end of the knife found under the victim, and Smink. The results of the test are shown in the figure above. Should Smink be released? Why or why not? Genetic Relatedness of Bears According to the DNA gel results, which of the five species listed are most closely related? How do you know? Which one is the most genetically distinct? How do you know? Restriction Enzyme Analysis Below is a plasmid with restriction sites for BamHI and EcoRI. Several restriction digests were performed using these two enzymes either alone or in combination. A. Which lane shows a digest with Bam HI only? B. Which lane shows a digest with EcoRI only? C. Which lane shows the fragments produced when the plasmid was incubated with both EcoRI and BamHI? 7 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) DNA Amplification Using the technique called ________________ ___________ ___________ (PCR), researches are able to create vast quantities of DNA identical to trace samples. o Also known as __________ ________________.

Gene technology is a broad field which includes analysis of DNA as well as ____________________ and other forms of genetic modification. Genetic engineering refers the artificial manipulation of genes: adding or subtracting genes, or changing the way genes work. Organisms with artificially altered DNA are referred to as _____________________________ (GMOs). Gene technologies have great potential to benefit humanity through: o increasing ____________________ o reducing ______________________ o increasing ____________________ o producing _____________________ o preventing and _________________ o detecting and __________________ Why gene technology? Despite potential benefits, gene technology is highly controversial. Some people feel very strongly that safety concerns associated with the technology have not been adequately addressed. BENEFITS Environmentally friendly Could improve the sustainability of crop and livestock production Could potentially benefit the health of many More predictable and directed than selective breeding RISKS Who owns and regulates the GMOs? Third world economies are at risk of exploitation Biological risks have not been adequately addressed Animal ethics issues The costs of errors One of the most notable accomplishments of genetic engineering is the production of human ________ from bacteria, replacing the often troublesome and limited source from cattle and pigs. Genetically modified crop plants could ________________________________ or allow utilization of marginal lands such as those with high salt content. Inserting normal genes into the bodies’ cells of an organism to correct a genetic defect is called ____________________ More controversial is _______________________, the insertion of genes into a normal individual to influence a particular trait (“designer babies”) GMOs may be created by modifying their DNA in one of three ways: o ___________________________: A foreign gene is added which will enable the GMO to carry out a new genetic program. Organisms altered in this way are referred to as _______________. Host DNA 10 o ___________________________: An existing gene already present in the organism may be altered to make it express at a higher level (e.g. growth hormone) or in a different way (in tissue that would not normally express it). This method is also used for _______________. Existing gene altered Host DNA o ___________________________: An existing gene may be deleted or deactivated to prevent the expression of a trait (e.g. the deactivation of the ripening gene in tomatoes). Host DNA Steps in Adding a Gene 1. Use a __________________________ to cut out the gene of interest from it’s ____________________ 2. Use _______________ restriction enzyme to cut open the DNA strand of the organism being given the gene. Must be the same enzyme so the “_____________________” are complementary 3. When the two matching “sticky ends” come together, they join by base pairing. This process is called _______________________. This can allow DNA fragments from a different source, perhaps a plasmid, to be joined to the DNA fragment. The joined fragments will usually form either a linear molecule or a circular one. 4. DNA fragments produced using restriction enzymes may be reassembled by a process called ________________. Pieces of DNA are joined together using the enzyme ____________________. Two pieces of DNA are cut using the same restriction enzyme. Plasmid DNA fragment This other end of the foreign DNA is attracted to the remaining sticky end of the plasmid. The two different DNA fragments are attracted to each other by weak hydrogen bonds. AATT C G G Foreign DNA fragment CTTA A 11 Ethics of Bioengineering EXAMPLE Why was the organisms modified?
