Central Dogma & Operator Theory and Decoding of Genetic Code
Theoretical basis
The basic structure of DNA in all organisms is the same. Different genes have the same material basis, so genes can be recombined and interchanged.
Genes can be cut and transferred, ensuring that genetic engineering can operate on genes without affecting their functions.
The genetic code is universal, and there is a correspondence between polypeptides and genes, regardless of species.
Genes can pass genetic information to the next generation through replication.

concept
It refers to the use of enzymatic methods to recombine heterologous genes & carrier DNA in vitro, and the resulting recombinant DNA is introduced into host cells, so that the heterologous genes can be replicated and expressed in the host cells, thereby achieving the transformation of recipient biological species or traits and mass production. Produce biological varieties and products needed by human beings,
Also known as: molecular cloning or recombinant DNA technology.
main content
From the genome of a biological organism, the DNA fragment containing the gene of interest is isolated.
The exogenous DNA fragment carrying the target gene is connected to a self-replicating vector molecule with a selection mark to form a recombinant DNA molecule.
The recombinant DNA molecules are transferred to appropriate recipient cells (host cells) and propagated with them.
From a large number of cell propagation populations, the recipient cells that have obtained the recombinant DNA molecules are screened out, and the target genes that have been amplified are screened out.
The target gene is cloned into an expression vector and introduced into host cells so that it can achieve functional expression under a new genetic background and produce substances needed by humans.
basic process
Five basic operating units: cutting, connecting, transferring, adding, and inspecting
Isolate DNA containing the gene of interest
Restriction enzymes cut DNA fragments (cut)
Plasmid is isolated from E. coli and digested (digested)
Ligase connects the target gene & plasmid for enzyme digestion (connected to: DNA recombination)

Introduce the recombinant plasmid into the host cell (transform)
Clone the target gene and screen for expression (amplification and detection)
Test: Screening and identification of transformants

principle

Proportional to the electric field strength & its own net charge
Inversely proportional to the friction coefficient of dielectric molecules
The DNA backbone itself is negatively charged and moves toward the positive electrode in the electric field;
Different DNA molecular weights and configurations are different → electrophoretic mobility is different → different zones.

PCR reaction process/reaction steps
Denaturation of template DNA
After the template DNA is heated to 94~95°C for a certain period of time, the double-stranded DNA of the template DNA or the double-stranded DNA formed by PCR amplification is dissociated into a single strand so that it can bind to the primer and prepare for the next round of reaction;
Annealing (renaturation) of template DNA and primers
After the template DNA is heated and denatured into a single strand, the temperature drops to about 55°C, and the primer pairs with the complementary sequence of the template DNA single strand;
primer extension
Under the action of Taq DNA polymerase, the DNA template-primer conjugate uses dNTP as the reaction raw material and the target sequence as the template. According to the principles of base pairing and semi-conservative replication, a new semi-conservative replication strand complementary to the template DNA strand is synthesized. .

carrier
The concept of gene carrier
Tools or carriers that introduce foreign DNA or target genes into appropriate host cells
The carrier should meet the conditions
The relative molecular mass is small and suitable for receiving the target gene;
It can carry out independent and stable self-replication within the host cell, and can still maintain stable replication and genetic characteristics when foreign DNA is inserted.
It can provide selectable markers for host cells (receptors) and have identifiable phenotypic characteristics for easy screening;
There is an appropriate single restriction endonuclease cutting site in its DNA sequence. This site is located in the non-essential region for DNA replication. That is, after being cut by a certain restriction endonuclease, the plasmid DNA can be closed and opened to admit foreign matter. Source DNA fragments without losing your own fragments.
Plasmid
concept
Double helix closed circle DNA molecule
It is independent of chromosomes for replication and inheritance, and relies on host-encoded enzymes and proteins for replication and transcription.
Vs chromosomes
All related to biological genetics
Chemically different
Chromosomes: Protein & DNA
Plasmid: DNA
type
Tight type
There is only one copy, or at most there are only a few copies.
Relaxed
Commonly used plasmid vectors
Escherichia coli plasmid vector
Two antibiotic resistance genes
Lactose operon: lacZ gene → β-galactosidase → hydrolysis X-gal (lacZ blue-white spot screening)
Plasmid DNA extraction
selective extraction
Under milder conditions, lysozyme is used to lyse bacteria, and the resulting cell fragments are separated by high-speed centrifugation due to differences in relative molecular weight between chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA. Plasmid DNA with a relatively small molecular weight remains in the supernatant, and is precipitated with ethanol to obtain crude plasmid DNA.
Alkaline SDS method
It selectively denatures the double-helix open-stranded DNA in the chromosome within the pH range of 12.0-12.5, while leaving the closed-loop double-stranded DNA unchanged. After neutralization with sodium acetate, SDS causes the protein-SDS complex and DNA with high relative molecular mass to precipitate, and then the plasmid DNA is left in the supernatant and separated by high-speed centrifugation.
Plasmid DNA purification
Alkaline sucrose density gradient centrifugation
Chromosomal double helix open-stranded DNA is easily denatured, while closed-circle double-stranded plasmid DNA is not easily denatured. In the sucrose concentration gradient, plasmid DNA settles faster than denatured DNA and is separated and purified.
Cesium chloride-ethidium bromide (Et-Br) density gradient centrifugation method
The open-stranded DNA of the double helix of the chromosome is easy to combine with the dye Et-Br and the density is reduced. The plasmid DNA is not suitable for binding because it is tightly closed, and the density is high, so it is separated by centrifugation.
Nitrocellulose membrane adsorption method
Nitrocellulose membrane adsorbs single-stranded DNA, and chromosomal DNA is easily denatured to form single-stranded DNA, which is separated from plasmid DNA.
Transform and build
Delete non-essential areas
Add new genetic marker genes
Introduce DNA sequences with multiple restriction enzyme recognition and cleavage sites, that is, multiple cloning sites
