Molecular Cloning Overview
Cloning refers to the production of multiple copies.
Molecular cloning is the process of of making multiple copies of a molecule.
Gene cloning is a set of experimental methods in molecular biology that are used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules which can replicate and expand within host organisms.
Plasmid
Plasmid: Extrachromosomal genetic element also made of a circular DNA molecule.
Clone Selection
1. Selection for Plasmd:
Host cell lack Ampicilin resistant gene Ampr and cannot grow without the introduced plasmid in media with the antibiotic.
2. Selection for inserted gene fragment:
Plasmid express lac Z gene which is disrupted by the insertion of DNA fragment.
Cloning Vectors:1.2000 to 10000bp in length;
2.Self replicate in bacteria
3.High copy numbers
4.Help the servive of host for selection (antibiotic resistant gene)
5.Multiple cloning sites
6.White and Blue selection (lacZ)
7.Size of insertion: up to a few kb, specialized vectors like BACs: 100-300kb; YACs: 100-3000kb.

Laboratory Overview
DNA Extraction
• Use young, fresh plant-tissue
• DNA extraction at room temperature
• Time requirement ~30 minutes
• Does not require DNA quantification
Benefits of using plants
• Large number of species
• Lots of diversity
• Phylogenetic (进化) approaches
• Avoid ethical concerns associated with animals
• No pre-approval
What are we looking for? Needs of to be a gene that is expressed in all
plants: one that organisms need to maintain
essential cellular functions
– housekeeping gene.
Examples:
• GAPDH
• Cytochrome C
• ATPase
• ß-actin
Why use GAPDH?
Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH)
甘油醛 -3- 磷酸脱氢酶
• Enzyme of glycolysis
• Structure and reaction mechanism well-studied
• Highly conserved
• Multitude of sequences
The Problem: How do we identify and detect a specific sequence in a genome?
• TWO BIG ISSUES:– There are a LOT of other sequences in a genome
that we’re not interested in detecting. (SPECIFICITY)
– The amount of DNA in samples we’re interested in is VERY small. (AMPLIFICATION)
The Problem:
Specificity
How do we identify and detect a specific sequence in a genome?
• Pine: 68 billion bp• Corn: 5.0 billion bp• Soybean: 1.1 billion bp • Human: 3.4 billion bp• Housefly: 900 million bp• Rice: 400 million bp• E. coli: 4.6 million bp• HIV: 9.7 thousand bp
The Problem:
Specificity
• The corn genome is 5.0 billion bp• If the bases were written in standard 10-point
type, on a tape measure...• ...The tape would stretch for 7891 MILES!• Identifying a 500bp sequence in a genome
would be like finding a section of this tape measure only 4 feet long!
How Big Is 5.0 Billion?
17
The Problem:
Amplification• To be visible on an agarose gel, need around 10
ng DNA for fluorescent stain (or around 25ng for FastBlast).
• For a 500-bp product band, weighing 660 g/mol.bp, therefore need 3.03X10-14 moles.
• Avogadro’s number = 6.02e23.
• Therefore need 1.8X1010 copies!
• In other words, to “see” a single “gene”, the DNA in a sample of 100 cells would have to be multiplied 180 million times!!!!!
How many molecules do we need to be able to see them?
18
DNA Isolation and Amplification To identify differences in GAPDH code we must
isolate plant DNA and amplify the gene of interest using PCR first with primers
In some cases , a second PCR reaction (Nested PCR) is necessary to increase specificity and yield
• Problems with initial PCR:– inefficient– non-specific
• Benefits of initial PCR:– cast a wide net– increase the pool of specific products
Why is a Nested PCR reaction necessary?
19
Nested PCR is more specific
Using Nested PCR to increase your final PCR product
• There is more PCR product from the nested PCR reactions since there is more specific template DNA to start from
• Results: intense, bold band on agarose gel
DNA template:Genomic DNA

Purification of PCR products
To increase the success of ligation, it is necessary to remove unincorporated primers, nucleotides, and enzymes from the PCR reaction.
Done by using size exclusion column chromatography. (In sizeexclusion chromatography small molecules like proteins, primers, andnucleotides, get trapped inside the chromatography beads while largemolecules, like DNA fragments, are too large to enter the beads and passthrough the column into the microcentrifuge tube).
PCR Cleaning Step-by-Step procedure
1. Resuspend the resin in the column by votexing 5 seconds
2. Remove the Cap, snap of the tip and place the column in a 2.0ml wash tube
3. Prespin the column for 0.5 minute at 3000rpm.
4. Place the column in a clean 1.5ml collection tube.
5. Apply the sample (25-100ul) to the top center of the column bed.
6. Spin the column for 1minutes at 3000 rpm
7. Save the purified sample which is in the bottom of the 1.5ml collection tube. Keep on ice.
8. Properly dispose the used column.
DNA Ligation
Different cloning procedure for PCR products
Pre-blunted PCR cloning vector
The blunted PCR product was insertedinto the vector. pJet1.2 contains a BglIIrestriction enzyme recognition site oneither side of the insertion site. Thus,once the plasmid DNA has beenisolated, a restriction digestion reactionwill be performed to determine the sizeof the insert.
Blunt-End cloning of PCR products • Prior to ligating the fragment into the plasmid, the PCR
fragment must first be treated to remove a single adenosine
nucleotide that is left on the 3′ ends of the PCR fragment by
Taq DNA polymerase.
• This is performed by a proofreading DNA polymerase (enzymes
with a 3′ proofreading exonuclease domain that allows the
polymerase to remove mistakes in the DNA strands).
• This polymerase functions at 70oC but not at lower
temperatures, so it is not necessary to inactivate this enzyme
after use.
Ligation is the limiting step of cloning
