Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 13P
It is often desirable to insert cDNAs into a cloning vector in such a way that all the cDNA clones will have same orientation with respect to the sequences of the plasmid. This is referred to as directional cloning. Outline how you would directionally clone a cDNA library in the plasmid vector

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.
Explain the THREE (3) important regions of this plasmid that enable it to work efficiently as
a cloning vector?
Besides the pUC series, there are other plasmid vectors in the market such as pBR327 and
pGEM-T. Some vectors are designed specifically for TA cloning while some are not. What is
TA cloning? Explain in detail.

- Describe the process of cloning a DNA fragment into theBamHI and PstI sites of the vector pUC18. How would youscreen for clones that contain an insert? and explain the process(steps) by drawingarrow_forwardA shuttle vector is a vector (usually a plasmid) constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species. One of the most common types of shuttle vectors is the yeast shuttle vector. Examples of such vectors derived from yeast are Yeast Episomal Plasmid (YEP), Yeast Integrating Plasmid (YIP) and Yeast Replicating Plasmid (YRP). Why is YEP preferred over YIP and YRP? Give your thoughts on this.arrow_forwardWhen cloning a foreign DNA fragment into a plasmid, it is often useful to insert the fragment at a site that interrupts a selectable marker(such as the tetracycline-resistance gene of pBR322). The loss of function of the interrupted gene can be used to identify clones containing recombinant plasmids with foreign DNA. With a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) vector, it is not necessary to do this; the researcher can still distinguish vectors that incorporate large foreign DNA fragments from those that do not. How are these recombinant vectors identified?arrow_forward
- The plasmid cloning vector pBR322 is cleaved with the restriction endonuclease PstI. An isolated DNA fragment from a eukaryotic genome (also produced by PstI cleavage) is added to the prepared vector and ligated. The mixture of ligated DNAs is then used to transform bacteria, and plasmid-containing bacteria are selected by growth in the presence of tetracycline. The cloned DNA fragment is 1,000 bp long and has an EcoRI site 250 bp from one end. Three different recombinant plasmids are cleaved with EcoRI and analyzed by gel electrophoresis, giving the patterns shown below. What does each pattern say about the cloned DNA? Note: pBR322, the PstI and EcoRI restriction sites are about 750 bp apart. The entire plasmid with no cloned insert is 4,361 bp. Size markers in lane 4 have the number of nucleotides noted.arrow_forwardIn biotechnology, gene cloning is a crucial technique used in many genetic modification experiments. A vector is normally required to perform this process. The vector commonly used to transform a bacterial host cell is known as a plasmid. Below is the general plasmid map of pBR322. Elaborate the functions of ori, Ap and TeR present in pBR322.

- After 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_forwardShown 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_forwardA PCR reaction was performed to amplify the XULA4 gene, which is bp 524-6,480 on a plasmid that is 9,435 bp. After the PCR, the product was digested with XhoI. There are XhoI sites on the plasmid at bp 151, 1,336, and 4,795. Calculate the size(s) that would result when the product is digested with XhoI. Then enter the size of the largest fragment (in bp).arrow_forward
- As a part of undergrad lab project, you have to clone Your Favorite Gene into plasmid cloning vector (4740 bp) pUC18. Restriction maps for both YFG and cloning vector are provided. The plasmid has a bacterial origin of replication (ori), an ampicillin resistance gene (AmpR) that degrades ampicillin antibiotic. It also has LacZ gene that encodes the β-gal enzyme, which converts white X-gal substrate into a blue product. pLac is a bacterial promoter.
