Biotechnology is the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems to
manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life.

Genetic Engineering- (A.K.A. Recombinant DNA Technology) frequency of an allele in a population
*involves cutting (cleaving) DNA from one organism into small fragments & inserting the fragments into a host organism of the same or a different species

AMAZING!!! Organism will use the foreign DNA as if it were its own!!
Transgenic Organism- organisms that contain functional recombinant DNA (rDNA) from a different organism

Remember DNA?What is the monomer of DNA?
NucleotidesHow do bases pair?
A – TC – G
What kind of bond is used?Hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases
![Page 6: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I. Restriction EnzymesAKA Restriction Endonucleases
What macromolecule do you think they are made of?They are PROTEINS
that cut strands of DNA at specific nucleotide sequences
![Page 7: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Isolating foreign DNA fragments-Restriction Enzymes- DNA cutting
enzymes that can cut both strands of a DNA molecule at a specific base pair sequence (A-T, C-G)
-similar to cutting a zipper into pieces-must find the same sequence of base
pairs on both DNA strands but they must run in opposite directions
![Page 8: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Restriction Enzymes (cont.)A. There are many different restriction enzymes
that each cut DNA at different nucleotide sequences
B. Most will cut the DNA with a staggered cutC. Usually occurs at a palindrome: a sequence
of units that can be read the same way in either direction (ex. Mom, dad, racecar)

Sticky Ends1. The staggered cuts leave the DNA with end
pieces “sticking off” a. We call these “sticky ends”b. These exposed N-bases will want to join with
other complimentary exposed bases

E. Types of Restriction Enzymes1. Sticky End- already discussed2. Blunt End
a. These cut the DNA straight across and create blunt ends:

1. Restriction enzymes are named according to the following nomenclature:
Ex: EcoRI E = genus Escherichia
co = species coli R = strain RY13
I = first enzyme isolated

How is a transgenic organism formed??
Isolate foreign DNA fragmentAttach DNA fragment to a “vehicle” (vector)Transfer “vehicle” (vector) into a host
organism
![Page 15: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Forming transgenic organisms and therefore clones of genes
![Page 16: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why would anyone go through the trouble of cutting DNA???One reason…
Recombinant DNA Break down the word…what do you think
recombinant means?Other reasons…
DNA fingerprinting, gene therapy…
![Page 17: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Recombinant DNAA. Recombinant DNA: DNA that has been cut
from one strand of DNA and then inserted into the gap of another piece of DNA that has been broken.
1. The host DNA is often a bacterial cell such as E coli.
![Page 18: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Bacterial Structure1. Bacteria are often used in biotechnology
because they have plasmids2. A PLASMID is a circular piece of DNA
that exists apart from the chromosome and replicates independently of it.
3. A plasmid is therefore called a VECTOR.
![Page 19: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Vectors transfer DNAVector-means by which DNA from another species can be carried into the host cell
Mechanical VectorsMicropipette-inserts into a cellGene guns- tiny metal bullet is coated with DNA and shot into the cell with a gene gun
![Page 20: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
More types of VectorsBiological VectorsVirusesPlasmids-small ring of DNA found in
bacteria cells that is separate from the bacteria’s normal set of DNA
Plasmid usually contains genes that may cause the bacteria to be resistant to certain antibiotics
![Page 21: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
D. Isolating Genes1. Must isolate the
gene of interest first before you insert it into the plasmid
2. How do you do this?
a. Use a restriction enzyme!!!
![Page 22: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Final Steps of Making Recombinant DNA1. Once the gene is isolated, have to cut the organism’s
DNA with the same restriction enzyme…why?a. The sticky ends will naturally be attracted to each other
2. Add DNA LIGASE: enzyme that seals the fragments together
3. After the foreign DNA has been spliced (glued) into the plasmid using an enzyme DNA ligase, the rDNA is transferred into a bacterial cell or other organism
4. Now organism is called a Transgenic Organism- organisms that contain functional recombinant DNA (rDNA) from a different organism
![Page 23: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Gene Splicing/Cloning using a bacterial plasmid
-IMPORTANT plasmid replicates separately from the bacterial chromosome & can produce up to 500 copies per bacterial cell
-bacteria reproduce quickly (20 min) so a lot of rDNA is made very fast
You will essentially be cloning a gene- genetically identical copies of rDNA molecules
-Host cell produces the protein coded for by the rDNA

III. Uses for Recombinant DNAA. Recombinant DNA has been gaining importance over
the last few years, and will become more important as genetic diseases become more prevalent and agricultural area is reduced. Below are some of the areas where Recombinant DNA will have an impact:
1. Better Crops (drought & heat resistance) 2. GMO’s (crops like seedless watermelon, pluots,
etc.)3. Recombinant Vaccines (i.e. Hepatitis B) 4. Production of clotting factors 5. Production of insulin 6. Production of recombinant pharmaceuticals 7. Plants that produce their own insecticides 8. Germ line and somatic gene therapy

RECAP Steps for making a
transgenic organism:1. Locate and isolate the
gene of interest2. Cut out the gene and
cut the plasmid using the appropriate restriction enzyme
![Page 28: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
3. Insert the desired gene into the plasmid matching up the sticky ends
![Page 29: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
4. Use the enzyme DNA ligase to seal up the sticky ends
![Page 30: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
5. Transfer the vector in the host organism where it will replicate
6. Host organism produces the protein coded for by the recombinant DNA

Gene TherapyGene therapy attempts to treat genetic
diseases at the molecular level by correcting what is wrong with defective genes.
Clinical research into gene therapy’s safety and effectiveness has just begun.
No one knows if gene therapy will work, or for what diseases. If gene therapy is successful, it could work by preventing a protein from doing something that causes harm, restoring the normal function of a protein, giving proteins new functions, or enhancing the existing functions of proteins
![Page 37: Biotechnology](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815be3550346895dc9d4ad/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Gene TherapyIn vivo gene therapy requires that the gene
transfer vector be delivered by direct tissue injection.
2) Ex-vivo gene therapy involves removing tissue from the patient, transfecting (or virally-infecting) the cells in culture, and then reimplanting the genetically altered cells to the patient.
