High Frequency of Recombination
(Hfr)
...bacteria exhibiting a high frequency of
recombination,
…the F factor is integrated into the
chromosomal genome.
F factor and Chromosomal DNA
are Transferred
Recombination Requires
Crossing over
Double Crossover
Incomplete Transfer of DNA
• Interrupted Mating: a break in the pilus
during conjugation stops the transfer of
DNA,
• Transfer occurs at a constant rate,
– provides a means to map bacterial genes.

Practice
• Insights and Solutions, #2,
• Problem 7.17, 7.18, 7.19.
Treponema pallidum
Transformation
• heritable exchange brought about by the
incorporation of exogenous DNA,
– usually DNA from same, or similar species.
Donor and Recipient
Not all cells are competent to receive DNA.
Competence
…a transient state or condition in which a
cell can bind and internalize exogenous
DNA molecules,
…often a result of severe conditions,
– heat/cold,
– starvation, etc.
Competent Cell
Genes are expressed that produce proteins that, in turn, span the cell membrane.
Exogenous DNA Binds Receptor
…and is transported across the cell membrane.
Complementary Strand Degraded
...one strand of the exogenous DNA is degraded also.
Exogenous DNA Incorporated
Heteroduplex
Cell Divides
Transformation and Mapping
• transformed DNA is generally 10,000 20,000 base pairs in length,
– carries more than one gene,
• When two or more genes are received from
the same transformation event, they are said
to be co-transformed.
Linkage in Bacteria
• genes that are closer together, have a higher
probability of being co-transformed,
– higher probability of being on same donor DNA,
– lower chance of crossover event between genes,
• probability of transformation by two separate
events is low,
• linkage in bacteria refers to proximity.
Transposable Elements
…a segment of DNA that can move to, or move a
copy of itself to another locus on the same or a
different chromosome (hopping DNA),
…may be a single insertion sequence, or a more
complex structure (transposon) consisting of two
insertion sequences and one or more intervening
genes.
Transposable Elements
mobile DNA
Transposon: carries one or more genes.
Why Transposons?
…the DNA sequence between the transposable
elements may confer an adaptive advantage,
– or at differing dosages,
…upon mobilization, the transposon may ‘hop’ into
a part of the genome that is being expressed at a
higher or lower rate,
…other?
Recombinases
• Enzymes that catalyze recombination via
“crossing-over” event,
– just as sister chromatids can recombine during
Prophase I,
• any DNA can “cross-over” and recombine under the
right circumstances.
Cre/lox
Recombination
The enzyme Cre recombinase
associates specifically with
the loxp locus,
- the gene that codes for
Cre is elsewhere in the
genome, and is under
transcriptional control.
Integrons
Site specific recombinase, plus adjacent recognition region
Integron Excision
Hop In, Hop Out
…the transposable elements, transposons and integrons, etc.
may confer a temporary advantage,
…once the selective pressure is over, the transposable
element can re-mobilize and exit a disrupted gene, and in
many cases return the gene to its original state,
– may transpose to a conjugative plasmids, or near Hfr integration
sites for wide spread dispersal,
…integron cassettes can also excise, and picked up by other
genetic elements.
And, Self-Mutate?
…transposable elements are often mobilized during
environmental stress,
– cassettes are shuttled from cell to cell, etc.
…for example: out of billions of cells, one cell may
have a transposable element that inactivates a
specific gene,
– upon inactivation, the cell may have an adaptive
advantage.
Transposition
normal gene, normal
RNA, normal protein,
transposon inserted in
gene, abnormal RNA,
abnormal protein, loss of
function.
T4 Bacteriophage
…infects E. coli,
Transduction
…virally mediated gene transfer from one
bacterium to another,
…bacteria viruses are termed bacteriophages.
Two Bacteriophage Strategies
• Lytic,
– a type of viral life cycle resulting in the release
of new phages by death and lysis of the host
cell,
• Lysogenic,
– a type of viral life cycle in which the visus
becomes incorporated into the host cell’s
chromosome.
Lytic Cycle
specific transmembrane
phage/bacteria binding
sites,
4. phage reassemble
with repackaged DNA,
1. host cell physiology
is shut down,
virus DNA
inserted into
host cell,
2. host cell physiology
is used for phage work,
3. phage DNA replicated,
capsule parts made,
5. host cell is
degraded and
lyses.
Generalized Transduction
…enzymatic process which can result in the
transfer of any bacterial gene between
related strains of bacteria.
Phage Infects Host
we’ll follow gene C+.
Specific Binding Sites,
Phage DNA inserted,
Upon infection, host cell physiology is shut down,
Phage Hijacks the Host Cell’s
Transcription/Translation
Machinery
gene C+ is present
on a DNA fragment.
Phage replicates own DNA,
makes protein head etc.,
Host cell degraded, the host
chromosome is cut,
Cell Lyses, Phage Move On
C+ is packaged
instead of
phage DNA in
one of
thousands of
new phages,
phage particle
with C+ moves
to another host
cell.
End of the Route
Host Chromosome,
Phage DNA,

Virulent Phages
…reproduce via the lytic cycle only.
Two Bacteriophage Strategies
• Lytic,
– a type of viral life cycle resulting in the release
of new phages by death and lysis of the host
cell,
• Lysogenic,
– a type of viral life cycle in which the visus
becomes incorporated into the host cell’s
chromosome.
Lytic vs Lysogenic
viral DNA is
incorporated into
the host genome.
Lysogeny
…the integration of viral DNA into the
bacterial genome,
– a virus that can integrate into the genome
is termed temperate,
– an integrated phage is termed a
prophage.
Prophage
…non-virulent units that are inserted in the
host chromosome, and multiply via binary
fission along with the host DNA,
…prophage can re-enter the lytic cycle to
complete the virus life cycle.
Phage Induction
…prophage express a repressor protein that inhibits
further infection,
– also inhibits prophage DNA excision genes, and genes
used during the lytic cycle,
…environmental cues (especially events that damage
DNA) block the expression of the repressor
protein,
– prophage excises and enters a lytic cycle.
Specialized Transduction
…upon excision of the prophage, adjacent
host DNA is taken along,
…the completion of the lytic cycle and
subsequent infection of another host moves
the flanking DNA to another bacterium.
Normal Excision
Abnormal Excision
flanking DNA is removed.
Transfer to Other Cells
Bacteria are Geniuses
• Cloning: identical copies,
• Gene therapy: insertion of a healthy, or functional
gene into a organism lacking a good gene,
• Harness Mutation: to deal with stress and speed
evolution,
• Defense: develop genes to ward off poisons,
predators, etc., then share the goods,
• Genetic engineering: inserting DNA into another
organism to do your bidding (Friday),
Coming Up
Virus then Plant Biotechnology
• Virus Paper for Friday…
– Short paper intro Weds. and questions.
• Plant GMO’s
– …bacteria also have plasmids (T Plasmids) that they transfer to other organisms,
– …upon infection, the T plasmid enters the host cell, becomes incorporated in the
host genome, and the T plasmid genes become expressed,
– …Agrobacterium tumefaceins transfers genes that force plants to make strange
sugars, that only the Agrobacterium can digest.
