PowerLecture: Chapter 16 Studying and Manipulating Genomes Golden Rice, or Frankenfood? Ordinary daffodil Fig. 16-1a, p.242 Impacts, Issues: Golden Rice, or Frankenfood? 124 million children around the world have vitamin A deficiencies Golden rice –Rice plants engineered with genes from daffodils allowing it to produce beta-carotine in its seeds (rice) –Beta carotine is the precursor to Vitamin A Rice is the main food for 3 billion people Golden Rice, or Frankenfood? 1st generation 2nd generation Regular rice Fig. 16-1b, p.242 Impacts, Issues: Golden Rice, or Frankenfood? Many crops plants have been modified, including corn, beets, potatoes, and cotton Potentially less harmful to the environment than current agricultural practices Golden Rice, or Frankenfood? Today's corn Ancestral corn p.243 Discovery of Restriction Enzymes Hamilton Smith was studying how Haemophilus influenzae defend themselves from bacteriophage attack Discovered bacteria have an enzyme that chops up viral DNA Specificity of Cuts Restriction enzymes cut DNA at a specific sequence Number of cuts made in DNA will depend on number of times the “target” sequence occurs 5’ G 3’ C A A T T T T A A one DNA fragment C 3’ G 5’ another DNA fragment 5’ T C 3’ T T A A G 5’ C 3’ T A A G nick 5’ A A T 3’ C 5’ nick G A A T 3’ C T T DNA ligase action 5’ G A A T T C 3’ 3’ C T T A A G 5’ Fig. 16-2, p.244 Terms ligase – seals cuts in DNA Recombinant DNA – any molecule consisting of base sequences from 2 or more organisms of the same or different species Cloning vector – a plasmid that has accepted foreign DNA and can be slipped into host DNA Using Plasmids Plasmid is small circle of bacterial DNA Foreign DNA can be inserted into plasmid Forms recombinant plasmids Plasmid is a cloning vector Can deliver DNA into another cell Plasmids Fig. 16-3a, p.244 Using Plasmids a A restriction enzyme cuts a specific base sequence everywhere it occurs in DNA. c The same enzyme cuts the same sequnece in plasmid DNA. b The DNA fragments have sticky ends. e The DNA fragments and the plasmid DNA are mixed with DNA ligase. f The result? A collection of recombinant plasmids that incorporate foreign DNA fragments. d The plasmid DNA also has sticky ends g Host cells that can divide rapidly take up the recombinant plasmids. Fig. 16-4, p.245 Making cDNA •Use reverse transcriptase onto one strand of complementary DNA (cDNA) •DNA polymerase strips RNA bases •Copies cDNA into a second strand Fig. 16-5, p.245 Gene Libraries Bacteria that contain different cloned DNA fragments Genomic library cDNA library Use of a Probe Colonies on plate You want to find which bacteria in a Cells adhere to filter library contain a specific gene Need a probe for that Cells are lysed; DNA sticks to filter gene • A radioisotopelabeled piece of DNA • Will base-pair with gene of interest Probe is added Location where probe binds forms dark spot on film, indicates colony with gene Making a Probe Make a primer if the sequence is known.

Fig. 16-13, p.253 Genetic Changes Humans have been changing the genetics of other species for thousands of years Artificial selection of plants and animals Natural processes also at work Mutation, crossing over First Engineered Mammals Experimenters used mice with hormone deficiency that leads to dwarfism Fertilized mouse eggs were injected with gene for rat growth hormone Gene was integrated into mouse DNA Engineered mice were 1-1/2 times larger than unmodified littermates Transgenic Mice Fig. 16-15, p.254 Designer Cattle Genetically identical cattle embryos can be grown in culture Embryos can be genetically modified create resistance to mad cow disease engineer cattle to produce human serum albumin for medical use Genetically Modified Animals Fig. 16-14a, p.254 Genetically Modified Animals Fig. 16-14b, p.254 Genetically Modified Animals Fig. 16-14c, p.254 Xenotransplantation Researchers knockout the Ggta1genes in transgenic piglets Ggta1 gene produces proteins that human antibodies recognize Pig’s organs are less prone to rejection by a human Safety Superpathogens DNA from pathogenic or toxic organisms used in recombination experiments Hok genes NIH guidelines for DNA research The Human Genome Initiative Goal - Map the entire human genome Initially thought by many to be a waste of resources Process accelerated when Craig Ventner used bits of cDNAs as hooks to find genes Sequencing was completed ahead of schedule in early 2001 Results of Gene Therapy Modified cells alive in woman’s liver Blood levels of LDLs down 20 percent No evidence of atherosclerosis Cholesterol levels remain high Remains to be seen whether procedure will prolong her life Using Human Genes Even with gene in hand it is difficult to manipulate it to advantage Viruses usually used to insert genes into cultured human cells but procedure has problems Very difficult to get modified genes to work where they should Ethical Issues Who decides what should be “corrected” through genetic engineering? Should animals be modified to provide organs for human transplants? Should humans be cloned?
