Genetic Recombination in Humans
There are three ways in which meiosis and fertilization ensure that a child has a different combination of genes from that of either parent:
1. Independent assortment of chromosomes during metaphase I
2. Crossing-over during prophase I3. Upon fertilization, recombination of chromosomes
from different individuals (via their gametes) occurs.
Recombinant DNA technology or genetic engineering was developed in 1971-1973
Their core was gene cloning Lead to DNA sequencing techniques that
enabled the structures of individual genes to be
determined Lead to procedures for studying the regulation
of individual genes
Genetic recombination - transfer of DNA from one organism
(donor) to another recipient. The transferred donor DNA may then be integrated into the recipient's nucleoid by various mechanisms (homologous, non-homologous).
Types Of Recombination
Generalized or Homologous Recombination - Occurs during prophase of meiosis I and involves exchange between homologous strands of DNA
Site Specific Recombination - Short homologous sections of bacterial and phage DNA serve as a site for recombination and thus incorporation of phage DNA into bacterial chromosomes
Transposition - Not truly recombination between different genomes, but the movement of transposons within a genome
Homologous recombination-
homologous DNA sequences having nearly the same
nucleotide sequences are exchanged by means of Rec
A proteins. This involves breakage and reunion of
paired DNA segments as seen in Natural mechanisms
of genetic recombination in bacteria include:
a. transformationb. transductionc. conjungation

Genetic Transfer & Recombination In Bacteria
Three kinds of genetic exchanges between prokaryotes
Three kinds Conjugation
Mediated by plasmids Transformation
Mediated by free DNA Transduction
Mediated by phages
Bacterial Conjugation
Bacterial Conjugation is genetic recombination in which there is a transfer of DNA from a living donor bacterium to a recipient bacterium. Often involves a sex pilus.
The 3 conjugative processes
I. F+ conjugation
II. Hfr conjugation
III. Resistance plasmid conjugation
F+ Conjugation- Genetic recombination in which there
is a transfer of an F+ plasmid (coding only for a sex
pilus) but not chromosomal DNA from a male donor
bacterium to a female recipient bacterium. Involves
a sex (conjugation) pilus. Other plasmids present in
the cytoplasm of the bacterium, such as those coding
for antibiotic resistance, may also be transferred
during this process.
I. F+ Conjugation Process
Conjugal transfer of plasmid
The 4 stepped F+ Conjugation
1. The F+ male has an F+ plasmid coding for a sex pilus and can serve as a genetic donor
2. The sex pilus adheres to an F- female (recipient). One strand of the F+ plasmid breaks
The 4 stepped F+ Conjugation (cont’d)
3. The sex pilus retracts and a bridge is created between the two bacteria. One strand of the F+ plasmid enters the recipient bacterium
4. Both bacteria make a complementary strand of the F+ plasmid and both are now F+ males capable of producing a sex pilus. There was no transfer of donor chromosomal DNA although other plasmids the donor bacterium carries may also be transferred during F+ conjugation.

Transformation
Genetic recombination in which a DNA fragment from a dead, degraded bacterium enters a competent recipient bacterium and it is exchanged for a piece of the recipient's DNA.
Involves 4 steps
1. A donor bacterium dies and is degraded 2. A fragment of DNA from the dead donor bacterium binds to DNA binding proteins on the cell wall of a competent, living recipient bacterium
3. The Rec A protein promotes genetic exchange between a fragment of the donor's DNA and the recipient's DNA
4. Exchange is complete
The 4 steps in Transformation

Transduction
Genetic recombination in which a DNA fragment is transferred from one bacterium to another by a bacteriophage
Structure of T4 bacteriophage Contraction of the tail sheath of T4
What are Bacteriophages?
Bacteriophage (phage) are obligate intracellular parasites that multiply inside bacteria by making use of some or all of the host biosynthetic machinery (i.e., viruses that infect bacteria
An infection
cycle
Transduction
There are two types of transduction: generalized transduction: A DNA fragment is
transferred from one bacterium to another by a lytic bacteriophage that is now carrying donor bacterial DNA due to an error in maturation during the lytic life cycle.
specialized transduction: A DNA fragment is transferred from one bacterium to another by a temperate bacteriophage that is now carrying donor bacterial DNA due to an error in spontaneous induction during the lysogenic life cycle
Site Specific Recombination
Short homologous sections of bacterial and
phage DNA serve as a site for recombination
and thus incorporation of phage DNA into
bacterial chromosomes

Gene technology
A set of methods and techniques used to study biological processes on the molecular level
There have been considerable developments in this field during the past two decades
Eg: new and powerful ways for the isolation, analysis, and manipulation of nucleic acids
What is gene cloning
(1) A fragment of DNA is inserted into a circular DNA molecule
called a vector, to produce a chimera or recombinant DNA
molecule
The basic steps in gene cloning experiment are as follows:
(2) The vector acts as a vehicle that transports the gene into a
host cell
(3) Within the host cell the vector multiplies, producing
numerous identical copies
(4) When the host cell divides, copies of the recombinant DNA molecule are passed to progeny and further vector replication takes place
(5) After a large number of cell divisions, a colony, or clone, of identical host cells is produced
Each cell in the clone contains one or more copies of the recombinant DNA molecule
The gene carried by the recombinant molecule is now said to be cloned
The basic steps in gene cloning
Why gene cloning is so important
Gene isolation by cloning Cloning allows individual fragments of DNA to be
purified isolated long genes or those that have never been studied
before
This technique can provide a pure sample of individual gene, separated from all the other genes in the cell
Cloning allows individual fragments of DNA to be purified
Clone A large population of identical molecules, or cells that arise from a common ancestor.
Cloning

the recombinant DNA
The process of gene cloning with the
plasmid as vector
DNA recombinationThe process that two DNA molecules from different source join together by covalent bond to form a new DNA molecule is called DNA recombination. Recombinant DNA
DNA recombination technique By the application of some tool enzymes, the target gene and vector are ligated together, then introduced into the recipient cells which multiply and express the protein products coded by the target gene, that is, DNA recombination technique, DNA cloning or Gene cloning, Molecular cloning.
Genetic engineering
All the work or methods used related to
the gene cloning and the target gene expressed
in host cells to produce the special protein or
polypeptide, or to change the character of an
organism, are called genetic engineering.
The requirements for the gene cloning
(1) The target genes
(2) The vectors
(3) The tool enzymes
(4) The host cells
Target DNA
• cDNA
• Genomic DNA
The cDNA are synthesized by reverse transcriptionase based on their mRNA templates of a cell line or tissue.
It represents whole DNA sequence of a genome
Purification of DNA from living cells
Preparation of total cell DNA (RNA)
Preparation of plasmid DNA
Preparation of bacteriophage DNA
Cloning vector——Cloning vectors are DNAs which can carry target genes, transfer them into the recipient cells.
Cloning vector classes
Plasmid DNAPhage DNAVirus DNA
Vectors
As for the expression vectors, they can make the proteins which are coded by the target gene expressed in the host cell
Plasmids Basic features of plasmids
Small (less than 10kb), Circular, duplex molecules of DNA
Exist at low or high copies within the bacteria, but useful plasmid present in multiple copies
Replicate independently from the bacterial cell
Contain selectable markers, eg: the antibiotic resistance capability conferred to bacterium
Possess at least one DNA sequence that act as an origin of replication Multiple RE sites ( multiple cloning sites, MCS)

Bacteriophages
Bacteriophages, or phages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria
Simple in structure, merely of a DNA (or occasionally RNA) carrying genes, including several for replication of the phage, surrounded by a protective coat or capsid made up of protein
Basic features of bacteriophages
The general pattern of infection
Attaches to the outside of the bacterium and injects its DNA chromosome into the cell
The phage DNA is replicated, usually by specific phage enzymes coded by genes on the phage chromosome
Other phage genes direct synthesis of the protein components of the capsid, new phage particles are assembled and released
Lytic cycle:
With some phage types the entire infection cycle is completed very quickly, possibly in less than 20 min. This type of rapid infection is called lytic cycle.
Lysogenic infection:
Characterized by retention of the phage DNA molecule in the host bacterium, possibly for many thousands of cell divisions
The result of Infection
Common used phages

Other vectors
The tool enzymes
Nucleases—cut, shorten or degrade nucleic acid molecules
Ligases—join nucleic acid molecules together Polymerase—make copies of molecules Modifying enzymes —remove or add chemical gro
ups Topoisomerases —introduce or remove supercoils
from covalently closed-circular DNA
Nucleases degrade DNA molecules by breaking the phosphodiester bonds
There are two different kinds of nucleases
Exonucleases remove nucleotides one at a time fr
om the end of a DNA molecule
Endonucleases are able to break internal phospho
diester bonds within a DNA molecule
ligases
To repair single-stranded breaks(discontinuities) that arise in double-stranded DNA molecules during DNA replication
Join together two individual fragments of double-stranded DNA
Polymerases Synthesize a new strand of DNA complementary
to an existing DNA or RNA template Four types of DNA polymerase are used routinely
in genetic engineering
DNA polymerase I: from E.coli. Synthesizes dsDNA by formation of
a 5’,3’-phosphodiester bond
Klenow fragment : removes the first 323 amino acids from DNA poly
merase I , Synthesizes DNA by formation of a 5’,3’-phosphodiester
bond
Reverse transcriptase: synthesizes DNA from RNA template
Taq DNA polymerase: used in the PCR, it is the DNA polymerase I f
rom bacterium Thermus aquaticus
DNA modifying enzymes
Alkaline phosphatase from E.coli, calf intestinal tissue or arctic shrimp removes the phosphate group present at the 5’term
inus of a DNA molecule
Polynucleotide kinase from E.coli infected with T4 phageHas the reverse effect of alkaline phosphatase, adding phosphate groups onto free 5’
termini
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase from calf thymus tissue adds one or more deoxyribonucleotides onto the 3’ t
erminus of a DNA
DNA modifying enzymes
Topoisomerases
Change the conformation of covalently closed-circular DNA by introducing or removing supercoils.
Enzymes for cutting DNA-restriction endonucleases
The initial observation that led to the eventual discovery of restriction endonucleases (RE) was made in the early 1950s
Restriction occurs because the bacterium produces an enzyme (called restriction endonucleases) that degrades the phage DNA
The discovery of these enzymes led to Nobel prizes for W.Arber, H. Smith and D. Nathans in 1978
Three different classes of RE are recognized, but the most important one is RE II which is used in DNA manipulation
Type II restriction endonucleases (RE) cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences
Generally, 4~8 bases be found, mostly 6 bases, a few of 8~10 bases
The sequences discriminated usually are palindrome structure
To cut the double strands of DNA at special sites and to yield two kinds of ends: blunt ends and sticky ends
Blunt ends and sticky ends:
Sticky or cohesive ends:
the cleavage is staggered by two or four nucleotides
the resulting DNA fragments have short single-strand
ed overhangs at each end
Base pairing between them can stick the DNA molec
ule back together again
Restriction endonucleases with different recognition s
equences may produce the same sticky ends eg: Bam

Transformation ----The uptake of DNA by bacterial cells preparation of competent E.coli cells
50 mM CaCl2 is tranditionally used.
Another alternative is by electroporation
• In recent years, transformation has been extended to include uptake of any DNA molecules by any type of cell
Whether the uptake results in a detectable change in the cell
Whether the Cells involved is bacterial, fungal, animal or plant
Introduction of phage DNA into bacterial cells
Two methods:
Transfection
purified phage DNA, or recombinant phage molecules, is mixed with competent E.coli cells and DNA uptake induced by heat shock
Transfection
Introduction of phage DNA into bacterial cells Two methods:
In vitro packaging single strain system: the defective λphage c
arries a mutation in the cos sites two strain system: two defective λphage carr
ies a mutation in a gene for one of the components of the phage protein coat
Phage infection is visualized as plaques on the agar medium
In vitro packaging
The problem of selectionA restriction digest of total cell DNA produces not
only the fragment carrying the desired gene, but also many other fragments carrying all the other genes
Numerous different recombinant DNA molecules are produced
A variety of recombinant clones are obtained

Marker rescue ---by αcomplementation plasmids contain sequence (lacZ) coding
for N-terminal amino acids (α fragment) of β–galactosidase
Mutant cells contain sequence (lacZ) coding for C-terminal amino acids (ω fragment) of β– galactosidase
By αcomplementationThe enzymatic activity is dependent on the
coexpression of the complete fragments, which can hydrolyzes the specific substrate X-gal (5-bromo-4-chloro-3-inolyl-β-D-galactoside) to turn to a blue colored one under the induction of IPTG ( isopropyl thiogalactoside)
The recombinant molecules have no this enzyme activity because the insertion of target gene into the lacZ region disturbs the expression of αfragment, and therefor, the colour of the recombinant molecule containing the colony is white.
Based on this blue-white colony screening
White clone contains the recombinant, but blue clone not contain recombinant
