PowerPoint Presentation Materials to accompany Genetics: Analysis and Principles Robert J. Brooker CHAPTER 19 BIOTECHNOLOGY Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display INTRODUCTION Biotechnology is broadly defined as technologies that involve the use of living organisms, or their products, to benefit humans It is not a new topic It began about 12,000 years ago when humans began to domesticate animal and plants for the production of food Since the 1970s, molecular genetics has provided new, improved ways to make use of organisms to benefit humans An organism that has integrated recombinant DNA into its genome is called transgenic Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19-2 19.1 USES OF MICROORGANISMS IN BIOTECHNOLGY Microorganisms are used to benefit humans in various ways Refer to Table 19.1 Molecular genetic tools are very important in influencing and improving our use of microorganisms Overall, the use of recombinant microorganisms is an area of great research interest and potential However, there are problems such as safety concerns and negative public perception Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

But now, patients can use insulin made by recombinant bacteria Refer to Figure 19.2 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Permission required for reproduction or display 19-26 If rendered inactive by mutation => gene knockout Figure 19.5 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19-27 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Production of Mice That Contain Gene Replacements In bacteria and yeast, gene replacement is the common outcome These have relatively small genomes, so homologous recombination occurs at a relatively high rate In complex eukaryotes, gene addition is the norm These have very large genomes, so homologous recombination is rare Only 0.1% of the time Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19-28 To produce mice with gene replacements, molecular biologists have resorted to trickery Cells in which homologous recombination has occurred are preferentially selected This approach is shown in Figure 19.6 The cloned gene is altered using two selectable markers A neomycin-resistant gene (NeoR) is inserted into the center of the coding sequence of the target gene A thymidine-kinase gene (TK) is inserted adjacent (not within) the target gene TK renders cells sensitive to killing by a drug called gancyclovir The modified target gene is then introduced into mouse embryonic cells which can be grown in the lab Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19-29 Figure 19.6 Sensitive to gancyclovir Resistant to both drugs 19-30 Figure 19.6 Blastocyst A chimera is an organism that contains cells from two different individuals Chimeric offspring 19-30 Use of Gene Replacements in Mice Gene replacements were discussed in Figure 19.6 When a mouse is homozygous for an inactivated gene, this is called a gene knockout The inactive mutant gene has replaced both copies of the normal gene Gene replacements and gene knockouts have become powerful tools for understanding gene function Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19-53 In some cases, gene knockouts produce phenotypic effect This shows that a gene is critical in a certain tissue or during a specific stage of development In other cases, gene knockouts produce no detectable phenotypic effect at all This led to the conclusion that mammalian genomes have a fair amount of gene redundancy A particularly exciting avenue of gene replacement research is its application in the study of human disease Cystic fibrosis (CF) Researchers have produced mice that are homozygous for the same type of mutation that is found in humans with CF These can be used as models organisms to study this human disease Furthermore, these mice models have been used to test various treatments for the disease Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Certain proteins are more likely to function properly when expressed in mammals Post-translational modifications occur in eukaryotes Degradation and misfolding occur in bacteria The strategy for expressing human genes in animals is shown in Figure 19.13 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Permission required for reproduction or display 19-62 When subjected to DNA fingerprinting, chromosomal DNA gives rise to a series of bands on a gel Refer to Figure 19.16 The order of bands is an individual’s DNA fingerprint It is the unique pattern of these bands that makes it possible to distinguish individuals In the 1980s, Alec Jeffries found that certain loci in human chromosomes are variable in length These loci contain tandemly repeated sequences called minisatellites In humans, the number of tandem repeats varies substantially Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) Refer to Figure 19.17 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19-63 Restriction enzyme sites VNTRs DNA probes are used to hybridize specifically to the repeat sequence located within VNTRs Figure 19.17 Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19-64 Figure 19.18 Protocol for DNA fingerprinting 19-65 The probe is called a multilocus probe (MLS) It binds to ~ 20 to 40 fragments of DNA that contain the sequence Figure 19.18 Protocol for DNA fingerprinting 19-66 RFLPs as markers for diseasecausing alleles RFLP marker DNA Disease-causing allele Normal allele In the past decade, the technique of DNA fingerprinting has become automated It is now done using PCR, which amplifies short tandem repeat sequences (STRs) Like VNTRs, STRs are found in multiple sites in human genomes and are variable among different individuals The main difference between a VNTR and STR is size STRs are much shorter, usually 100–450 bp STRs are called microsatellites, and VNTRs minisatellites The amplified STRs are fluorescently labeled They are separated by gel electrophoresis A laser excites the fluorescent molecule within the STR A detector records the amount of emission for each STR Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Permission required for reproduction or display 19-68 Uses of DNA Fingerprinting Within the past decade, the uses of DNA fingerprinting have expanded in many ways In medicine, it is used identify different species of bacteria and fungi and also different strains of the same species This is useful for appropriate antibiotic treatment DNA fingerprinting is also used in forensics and relationship testing Copyright ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
