MECHANISM OF RESTRICTION ENZYMES
1.
2.
3.

A
  1. SCAN - Look fo a particular pattern of
    nucleotides:ENZYME’S RECOGNITION
    SEQUENCE
  2. BIND- The enzyme will bind the DNA
    molecule.
  3. CUT- The enzyme cuts in each of the two
    sugarphosphate backbones of the
    double helix

A

CLONING VECTOR

19
Q

MAIN FEATURES OF CLONING VECTORS

A
  1. ORIGIN OF REPLICATION
  2. MULTIPLE CLONING SITES
  3. SELECTABLE MARKER
20
Q

DNA segment with several RE sites located next to each other.

A

MULTIPLE CLONING SITE

21
Q

Allows selection of host cells with the recombinant vector.

A

22
Q

CLONING STRATEGIES

_________ involves the ligation of short, staggered ends that can be rejoined by DNA ligase to regenerate original recognition
sequence.

A

Cohesive End Cloning

23
Q

CLONING STRATEGIES

_____ involves ligating dsDNA
into a plasmid where both the insert and
linearized plasmid have no overhanging bases
at their termini.

A

Blunt End Cloning

24
Q

10-100x less efficient than cohesive-end
cloning. Desired insert does not require any restriction sites.

A

Blunt End Cloning

25
Q

CLONING STRATEGIES

Modified Blunt End Cloning may use…

A
  • Linkers
  • Adaptors
  • Homopolymer tails
26
Q

final step in the construction of a recombinant
DNA molecule where the vector molecule and
the DNA to be cloned are joined together by
DNA ligase.

27
Q

Two families of dna ligases

A

1.ATP-dependent Ligase
2. NAD+-dependent ligases (LigA)

Q

All known eukaryal cellular DNA ligases; also in archaea.

A

ATP-dependent Ligase

29
Q

distinctive and structurally homogeneous clade of enzymes found in all bacteria.

A

NAD+-dependent ligases (LigA)

substance at a microscopic or borderline
macroscopic level.

A
