- Shown below is a diagram for a plasmid vector you want to use to clone a gene. The diagram shows the location of the recognition sites for four restrictions enzymes, BamHI (B), EdoRI (E), Hindill (H), and Xhol (X). The genes encoding beta-lactamase (AmpR) and beta-galactosidase (lacZ) are indicated. If you were to use this vector, which enzyme should be used to linearize the plasmid in preparation for cloning? E B lacz O Hindi!! BamHI O EcoRI O Xhol H EcoRI and Xhol E -X AmpRarrow_forwardAfter transformation you were asked to grow bacterial cells transformed with plasmid on a plate that had X-gal and ampicillin. X-Gal is often used as in indicator dye, which turns blue when metabolized by B-galactosidase protein and used to test if cloning experiments have worked. [Note look at the vector diagrams carefully] Briefly explain how you would find the bacterial cells that are transformed with the plasmid with the YFG inserted.arrow_forwardYou want to express the protein of a newly discovered human gene using E. coli, so you clone the human cDNA for the gene with an additional C-terminal purification tag into a plasmid. You then transform that plasmid into E. coli, grow up 1L of cells while inducing the promoter on the plasmid controlling the production of the protein from the gene. You then want to purify the protein using the C-terminal purification tag. What would be the best way of monitoring the purification process? Why did you choose this method? Please keep brief - 2 sentences/dot points max.arrow_forward
- Now that you’ve isolated the gene and made lots of copies, you need to insert the gene into something you can manipulate and move into your lab strain of E. coli. You have access to the following vectors, either pBR322 or pUC19 (look them up here to see a map https://www.neb.com/products/dna-plasmids-and-substrates Please note the restriction sites in BOLD appear only once in the plasmid). You may use either vector. What is a vector? Which vector did you choose? Explain why you made that choice. What enzyme(s) will you use to place your fragment into the vector? Explain why you chose these enzymes. How will you move this construct into coli? What phenotype will tell you if the coli have taken up the plasmid? What phenotype will tell you if the coli have taken up the plasmid with the gasP gene?arrow_forwardplease help me with this problemarrow_forwardScientists modified the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid, a naturally occurring plant plasmid found in Agrobacterium tumefaciens, to create a tool used to introduce any gene of interest into plant cells. They created a binary system because a single Ti plasmid is too large to be easily manipulated. One part of the system is a disarmed plasmid, and the second part is a transformation vector. The following sentences describe the function of key DNA elements in the system. Virulence region Genes for conjugative transfer Disarmed Ti plasmid (T-region removed) ori Kan selectable marker plant selectable marker constitutive promoter T-region conjugative transfer virulence Kan (bacterial selectable marker) Amp selectable marker Plant selectable marker (e.g., herbicide resistance) Constitutive promoter T-DNA left border Place the terms in the appropriate blanks to complete the sentences. Not all terms will be used. 3' transcriptional terminator MCS (inserted gene of interest) T-region Transformation…arrow_forward
- You are using Drosophila as a model system to investigate eye development. You do positional cloning to isolate a mutant gene called eyeless (eyl), which causes flies to develop with reduced sized eyes when homozygous. Using several DNA markers from the candidate interval as probes for colony hybridization to a CDNA library, you obtain a 10 Kb cDNA insert cloned into the unique EcoRI site of a 3.5 Kb plasmid vector. a. Briefly describe how would you use the Drosophila eyl cDNA clone to identify a clone from a mouse genomic DNA library that is homologous to the Drosophila eyl gene? b. You isolate a clone of mouse genomic DNA that appears to be homologous to the Drosophila eyl gene. After DNA sequencing of a small piece of the mouse genomic clone, you use the DNA sequence to search the mouse genome database. You find that there is a SNP locus (n1234) that does NOT cause an RFLP in this genomic clone. You have identified several breeding lines of mice, each having been bred for several…arrow_forwardI’m having trouble finding which answer would be acceptable can you please help?arrow_forwardPlease put in correct orderarrow_forward
- As this is a non-directional cloning, recombinant plasmids can contain an insert ligated into the vector in two different orientations. Provide 2 diagrams to illustrate the 2 potential recombinant plasmids, with the inserts ligated in opposite orientations. Include all RE sites and distances between sites on the diagram.arrow_forwardYou want to clone a specific PCR amplicon. You have determined that the amplicon you want to clone has enzyme restriction sites for HindIII and EcoRI. After investigation you have seen that the pUC18/19 plasmid also have these enzyme restriction sites in its multiple cloning site (MCS on map included). After enzyme digestion your amplicon is 854 bp long. What length will the recombinant plasmid be after you have inserted your amplicon? Show a calculation.arrow_forwardYou have two samples you have to sequence: one is a cloned plasmid that you want to verify the sequence of, and another is the cDNA library of the transcriptome of a cell. Which method would you use for each sample and why?arrow_forward
