Transcription/Translation
NOTE: The sequence of the mRNA is complementary to the template (non-sense, transcribed) strand and is identical to the non-template (sense, non-transcribed) strand on the DNA

Tools of Genetic Engineering
• 1. Enzymes– Restriction enzymes– Modification enzymes (polymerases, kinases,
ligase, etc)
• 2. Vectors
• 3. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
• 4. Your imagination….
12
Type II restriction enzymes• Type II restriction enzymes:
– homodimers.– Recognize a short, specific DNA sequence
(generally 4 to 8 nt).– Cut DNA at their binding site. THEREFORE, THE
PRESENCE OF A RE BINDING SITE ON A PIECE OF DNA IMMEDIATELY TELLS YOU THAT THIS SITE WILL BE CLEAVED IN THE PRESENCE OF THIS RE.
– Cut palindromic sequences– Generate either blunt or protruding ends.
• Nomenclature: EcoR I– Eco: isolated from E. coli– R: strain R– I: first restriction enzyme isolated from E. coli
• Why?– Restriction enzymes allow bacteria to defend
themselves against foreign DNA (e.g. viral DNA)
• Type I and type III RE also exist, but they do not cut aat their DNA binding site. Therefore, they are used only very rarely in genetic engineering applications.

EcoR V generates 5’ phosphate and 3’ OH ends
1) EcoR I: Generates 5’ protruding ends with 5’ phosphate and 3’ OH ends
5’CTGCAG3’
3’GACGTC5’
5’CTGCA3’ 5’G3’
3’G5’ 3’ACGTC5’+
2) Pst I: Generates 3’ protruding (also called 5’ recessed) ends with 5’ phosphate and 3’ OH ends

• The activity of restriction enzymes can be affected by several parameters:– Temperature– Ionic strength (salt concentration)– Type of salt– Reducing agents (DTT, 2-ME)
• Buffers with optimal conditions of salt, pH, etc are provided upon purchase of any RE enzyme.
• Non-optimal conditions can lead to non-specific cutting, a phenomenon called star activity.
• SO: Care should be taken when digesting a DNA molecule with 2 different RE – make sure the digestion conditions are compatible!

• A = High enzyme concentration
• B = high glycerol concentration (>10%)
• C = Low ionic strength
• D = elevated pH (> 8)
• E = presence of organic solvents
(e.g. ethanol, DMSO, DMF)
• F = replacing Mg+2 by Mn+2, Cu+2, Zn+2 or Co+2

25
How to know which RE cuts your favorite DNA molecule?
• 1) Get the sequence of the DNA molecule
• 2) Plug the sequence in a program which will find the RE sites of interest
26
Getting DNA sequences from public databases - NCBI
• NCBI: National Center for Biotechnology Information• Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Sitemap/index.html

In this example: gadd153 is YFG your favorite gene

Entrez Gene - Output
30
Entrez Gene – What’s in the output?
• Gene/mRNA/protein sequence;
• Gene structure (exon/intron);
• Bibliography
• Interactions involving your favorite protein (YFP)
• Sequence homology
• Phenotype (mutations, hereditary diseases, etc)
• Gene Ontology:– Cellular function– Cellular processes
influenced by YFP– Sub-cellular compartment
where YFP is found
• Signaling pathways
• Sequences– mRNA (RefSeq)– Protein

• Genebank: • Fasta:
• So what? Some softwares/algorithms recognize only one sequence format;• Useful sequence converter:
– ReadSeq Biosequence Format Converter– http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/readseq.cgi
Sequence formats
35
Restriction mapping
• Link: http://www.restrictionmapper.org/• Instruction:
– Select sequence of interest – Copy– Paste in window in Restriction Mapper site– Select the enzymes for which you want the location of
the cutting sites (I selected BamH I, EcoR I and Pst I)– Press « Map Sites »– Bingo!

Modification enzymes
• DNA modifying enzymes:– DNA polymerases – DNA kinases– DNA phosphatases– DNA ligases– DNAses
• RNA modifying enzymes:– Reverse transcriptases– RNAses

Modification enzymes
41
Modification enzymes
42
End-modification enzymes
43
DNA Kinases• Add 1 phosphate from ATP (the phosphate) to the 5’ end
of a DNA molecule.• Used to:
– Phosphorylate DNA molecules which do not possess a 5’ phosphate
– Label DNA molecules at both 5’ ends: requires the use of radioactive ATP ([32P]-ATP) in the reaction.
44
DNA phosphatases
• Removes phosphate from the 5’ end of DNA molecules.
• Used to create DNA molecules without 5’ phosphate.
45
DNA phosphatases
46
DNA ligases• Catalyses the formation of a phosphodiester bond
between the 3’ OH of a DNA molecule and the 5’ phosphate of another.
• Used to create a covalent bond between 2 DNA fragments.
47
Ligases
48
Ligases
49
DNA nucleases (DNAses)• Enzymes which catalyse the depolymerization
(degradation) of DNA molecules.• Can work from the ends of the DNA (exonuclease) or
directly in the molecule (endonuclease).• Used to:
– Get rid of unwanted DNA.– Modify the ends of DNA molecules.
50
DNAses• Exonucleases can degrade DNA in two
possible ways– From the 3’ end towards the 5’ end– From the 5’ end towards to 3’ end.
51
RNA nucleases (RNAses)
• Enzymes which degrade RNA molecules.– RNAse A degrades both single stranded and double
stranded RNA– RNAse H degrades only the RNA in an RNA-DNA
hybrid.
52
RNA polymerases• Synthesize a RNA molecule from a DNA template
(transcription).• Require promoter sequences upstream of the DNA
sequence to be transcribed. Also needs all 4 NTPs
53
Reverse transcriptases• Make a DNA molecule from an RNA template.• Require (in addition to all 4 dNTPs) a DNA
primer to initiate DNA synthesis.
54
DNA polymerases• Catalyze the synthesis of a DNA molecule.• Require (in addition to all 4 dNTPs)
– a DNA primer to initiate DNA synthesis– a DNA template.
55
DNA polymerases
• Can possess 3 types of activities:– Polymerase: always in the 5’ to 3’ direction– Exonuclease: can be in the 5’-3’ or 3’-5’ direction.– Whether a DNA polymerase will exhibit polymerase or
exonuclease activity depends on the abundance of free dNTPs:• Presence of dNTPs: polymerase activity is on.• No dNTPs in the reaction: exonuclease activity is on.
• Klenow enzyme:– Very widely used in genetic engineering– A modified a E. coli DNA polymerase– Possesses:
• 5’-3’ polymerase activity• 3’-5’ exonuclease activity
