Q

The Meselson-Stahl Experiment Procedure

A

e coli= prokaryotic replication
Grew them in medium with N15 (nitrogen isotope)
E coli incorporating N15 into their DNA (which is nitrogen rich)
Then transfer to N14 medium
SO all DNA synthed in N15 have N15 bases, DNA synthed in N14 have N14 bases
Parents N15, daughters N14
N14 lighter than n15
Centrifuge: b/c N15 heavier.
N15 go farther in test tube because heavier than N14

A

Result after 1st Generation: EITHER semiconservative rep or Dispersive rep. Because they were at hybrid densities
Result after 2nd Gen: Has to be semiconservative replication.
b/c more strands that are just N14 (b/c they are new “parental” strands)

Q

Leading strand

A

the new strand with the free 3’ end

21
Q

Lagging Strand

A

one with the free 5’ end

22
Q

Circular DNA

A

Bacteria, mitochondria, chloroplasts

23
Q

Replication of Circular DNA

A

ONE ORIGIN OF REPLICATION
2 rep forks going in either direction
okazaki fragments, leading and lagging strand

24
Q

End Replication Problem

A

o Lagging strand, constantly laying down new RNA primers
• No place to do it when you reach end of DNA
• Cant generate new DNA, cant add new primer
• Last RNA primer laid down 100 base pairs away from the end
• End up with un replicated bit of DNA at the end,
• A daughter strand doesn’t make it all the way to the end of the parent strand from which it was synthesized.
• So will always lose some base pairs
o New daughter strand will be shorted about 100 nucleotides in every round of replication.
o One day they wont be able to divide again, hang out in G0 forever
Adult somatic cells: mitotic division only 50 times
reason for aging?

25
Q

Telomerase

A

Solution to end replication problem
GERM CELLS ONLY (healthy)
in somatic cells, teomerase turned on leads to cancer

26
Q

Germ Cells

A
  • Telomerase enzyme contains an RNA template that allows the template strand to be lengthened by telomere repeats.
  • Germ line cells are “immortal”
27
Q

telomeres

A

long stretch of repetitive DNA at end of somatic cells to deal with end replication problem
so you lose repeat, not important genes, with division

28
Q

Polymerase Chain Reaction: PCR general info

A

polymerase from themoatically stable organism (one that lives in hot environments)
targeted region of DNA to be replicated/amplified into as many copues as desired

29
Q

Gel electrophinesis

A

Swimming Pool ex (SI)
• DNA samples are inserted into wells at one edge of gel
• Pass electricity through (also DNA matrix and liquid buffer)
• DNA migrates to positive charge at opposite end of chamber
• Passes through substrate depending on size
• Small pieces pass rapidly
• Numbers on pictures are wells
Bigger stay at negative, little go to positive

30
Q

Southern Blot

A

restriction enzymes used to cut up whole DNA
separate using Gel electrophinesis
pass DNA from gel to filter paper
look for where fragment of interest migrated
probe filter paper with radiolabeled matching gene probe
expose film, see where bands migrated
can use flourencent nucleotides instead of raido

31
Q

Polymerase Chain RXN: process for PCR

A

Denaturation
Annealing
Extension

32
Q

PCR Denaturation

A

Heat up strands and they come apart

Unwinding

33
Q

PCR Annealing

A

When cooled, two primers provided to anneal to their complementary sequences on the DNA template strand
o need temp not too low, or DNA will zip back together

34
Q

PCR Extension

A

Synth new DNA strands

Extend primers in a 5’ to 3’ direction

35
Q

PCR Components

A

o Template DNA
o DNA Polymerase (TAQ – polymerase from Thermus aquaticus)
o The four deozynucleoside triphosphates (A, T, G, or C)
o Two primers (short stretches of DNA).

36
Q

More PCR

A

o Target specific segement of DNA
• 1. Template duplex often longer than amplified region
o provide primers that match on either side of DNA
o let amplification occur
o end up with 2 copies: parental and new
o Go through again, end up with 4 copies
o After n cycles of amplification there are 2^n copies of the template sequences.
o Shorter copies in each subsequent round

37
Q

Restriction Enzymes

A

Cut DNA at specific sequences
allows:
• pieces from the same or different organisms to be brought together in recombinant DNA technology
• or can cut large genomes into small pieces for further analysis

38
Q

Blunt ended cut

A

Even on either side of cut

39
Q

Overhang cut

A

Overhang on either side of cut

40
Q

Sanger Sequencing: Terminator Nucleotides

A

Don’t have 3’ hydorxyl group, just hydrogen, so others cant add on

41
Q

Sanger Sequencing- The Sequence

A

o Run fragments out on gel
o Read gels looking at readout
o Florecnese peak tells us what last nucleotide was
o Read one fragment at a time, put all together, find sequence of daughter strand

42
Q

Recombinant DNA

A 
usually e. coli used
Transformed
Take up DNA from surrounding environment
"Heat shock" makes them stressed and suck up plasmid.
Has its genome and the one you gave it.
43
Q

Donor DNA

A

The one we add in
PCR replicate it (double stranded from us sometimes)
Ligate to vector with ligase of sticky ends

44
Q

Vector DNA

A

circular pieces of DNA taken up. From e. coli.
Cut it
Ligate with sticky ends to Donor

45
Q

GMO examples

A

Gene gun
engineer viruses to insert into eukaryotic genomes
maybe review this

46
Q

Why use Sanger?

A

Don’t know template, so make daughter to ID parent

47
Q

Why Recombinant DNA?

A

to replicate the gene you want.

48
Q

What to do with recombinant dna?

A

make new type of e. coli cells with its genome and recombiant plasmid
Make lots of it to replicate the gene of interest

49
Q

Southern Blot

A

Pass DNA from gel electro to filter paper
want to know where DNA fragment of interest is
Probe filter paper (probe matches gene)
visualize by exposing film
