b. After molecular cloning and confirming you properly cloned stripes into the vector shown, you transform bacteria with the plasmid and select out bacteria that contain the plasmid. Now you want to these transformed bacteria to express the STRIPES. Under what conditions would we need to grow bacteria transformed with this plasmid so that they express STRIPES? Explain your answer, and be sure to describe the important regulatory regions on the plasmid above and what interacts with these regulatory regions in the conditions you have indicated.

You first need to create a plasmid. What are the minimal components necessary to develop this plasmid? In addition to these components, please draw the plasmid. In this illustration, I am looking for the components, the direction of transcription (i.e., the direction the genes will be transcribed), and what should be transcribed last? Also, where would you specifically insert the P. falciparum gene in this plasmid, and why are you checking reading frames in your gene? Finally, please name your plasmid using the correct nomenclature too.  You are excited you have this new plasmid; you want to transfect it into P. marinus and provide it as an oral vaccine to laboratory mice. However, even though your supervisor enjoys your enthusiastic attitude, they do not allow you to do this quite yet because all you have is this plasmid. Why doesn’t your supervisor allow you to use the laboratory mouse for this research regarding animal welfare guidelines? Your answer should include the 3 R’s of…

SDS polyacrylamide electrophoresis was used to determine of the sizes of the wild type and Mutant 1 and 2 HOAP proteins expressed from these plasmids in bacteria. Using the Protein Standards as a guide, estimate the sizes of the HOAP protein expressed from each plasmid. 250 100 75 50 25 10

Assume you have successfully cloned a small (200 bp) fragment of DNA into the polylinker region of a pUC18 cloning vector. Describe the appearance of transformed colonies you would expect to see on each of the following plates: plain media, media containing ampicillin, media containing tetracycline, media containing ampicillin and X-Gal.
