Recombinant DNA Technology
and its Applications
Learning Objectives
After completion of this lecture learner
should be able to define:
 Recombinant DNA Technology
 Restriction Endonucleases
Sticky Ends and Blunt ends
 DNA Cloning
 Vectors (plasmids, Bacteriophases and cosmids)

 Applications of RDT
Recombinant DNA technology
This is a novel technology in which DNA
sequence is manipulated and chimeric DNA
molecule is produced by a method called
genetic engineering.
Next the chimeric DNA molecule is allowed
to multiply.
This is a biological method of DNA
amplification.
• This technology has revolutionized
Biology and is having an ever
increasing impact on clinical medicine.

Enzyme used in RDT
Enzyme(s) Function
Type II restrictions
endonucleases
Cleave DNAs at specific base sequences
DNA ligase Joints two DNA molecules or fragments
DNA polymerase I (E.coli) Fills gaps in duplexes by stepwise
addition of nucleotides to 3’ ends
Reverse transcriptase Makes a DNA copy of an RNA molecule
Polynucleotide kinase Adds a phosphate to the 5’-OH end of a
polynucleotide to label it or permit ligation
Terminal transferase Adds homopolymer tails to the 3’-OH end
of a linear duplex
Exonuclease III Removes nucleotides residues from the 3’
ends of a DNA strand
Bacteriophage λ Exonuclease Removes nucleotides from the 5’ ends of a
duplex to expose single –stranded 3’ ends
Alkaline phosphatase Removes terminal phosphates from either
the 5’ or 3’ end (or both)
Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT  By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry
Sticky ends & Blunt ends
• Some restriction endonucleases make
staggered cuts on the two DNA strands,
leaving two to four nucleotides of one strand
unpaired at each resulting end.
• These unpaired strands are referred to as
sticky ends, because they can base-pair
with each other or with complementary sticky
ends of other DNA fragments.
• Other restriction endonucleases cleave both
strands of DNA at the opposing
phosphodiester bonds, leaving no unpaired
bases on the ends, often called blunt ends.

Few related definitions
• Clone  population of cells having the
same genetic composition and derived
from a single cell by repeated mitosis.
• DNA cloning  Involves isolation of
DNA fragments and their insertion into
the DNA from another biological source
( vector ) for manipulation and
multiplication.
• To clone means to make identical
copies.
Some other terms.
• Vector  they are small molecules to which the
target DNA is attached. There are three types of
vectors : plasmids, bacteriophages and cosmids.
• Polylinker is a shortsegment of DNA which
contains up to 20 restriction sites.
• Restriction Endonucleases ( R. E.)  Enzymes
that cleave double stranded DNA at specific sites
called restriction sites.
Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT  By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry
Application of R. D. T.
1) Diagnosis of diseases like sickle
cell anemia, thalassemia.
2) Production of proteins for
treatment e.g. insulin, growth
hormone.
3) Production of vaccines e.g.
hepatitis B.
4) Forensic help e.g. paternity test,
prenatal diagnosis and detection of
criminal.
Application of R. D. T.
• 5) Gene therapy for potentially curing
diseases caused by a single gene
deficiency, e. g. sickle cell disease,
thalassemia.
• 6) offers rational approach to
understand the molecular basis of a
disease e.g. sickle cell anemia.
Procedure.
• 1) Isolation of gene gene is selected
and cut at precise location by R.E.
which act as molecular scissors.
• A vector is selected and cut by the
same R.E.
• The segment of DNA to be cloned is
joined to the vector. This composite
DNA is called recombinant DNA.
Procedure
• The recombinant DNA is introduced
into bacterial cell. This step is called
transfection. Now each transformed
cell would multiply and amplify the
target DNA in huge amount.
• The cells are grown under conditions
that are favorable for protein synthesis.
The proteins are isolated from these
cells by usual method. Example of
clinically important protein is INSULIN.
vector
• The vector is a self replicating entity
which is capable of carrying target DNA
into the host cell. Essential properties
of a cloning vector are as follows:
• 1) It must be capable of autonomous
replication.
• 2) It must have at least one specific region
for restriction endonuclease.
vector
• A cloning vector may be a plasmid,
bactriophage, or a cosmid. An essential
technique in genetic engineering is to
introduce the human gene into a
vector. Covalent binding of the two
results in production of recombinant
DNA, which is then carried to a suitable
host cell. The inserted gene is then
replicated, transcribed and translated.
Plasmid.
• Plasmids are circular, extra
chromosomal, DNA molecules of
2000-200,000 bps present in some
prokaryotic cells.
• A single cell may contain 10- 20
copies of plasmids. They undergo
replication with each cell cycle.
Plasmid.
• Plasmids carry genes that impart
antibiotic resistance.
• Their function is to deliver a desired
DNA segment into a host cell, the
process is called transfection.
• Properties1) they can pass from one
cell to another. 2) foreign genes can be
inserted into plasmids quite easily.
Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT  By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry
Bacteriophage.
• Lambda phage can carry DNA inserts
much larger than that carried by
plasmids.
• It is a linear double stranded DNA.
• Foreign can be inserted easily.
Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT  By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry
Cosmids.
• A cosmid is an artificially constructed
circular DNA molecule.
• It combines useful features of both the
plasmid and phage.
• It has an antibiotic resistant gene and
several restriction sites.
• Permits insertion of large fragments of
DNA.
Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT  By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry
DNA Library.
• 1) Genomic library Refers to a large
collection of bacterial cells, each containing
a random piece of human genomic DNA
attached to a vector.
• Entire DNA of a cell is cut into pieces by
using different R.E. these cut fragments are
introduced into appropriate vector.
• These recombinant DNAs are introduced into
bacteria to form a genomic library.
Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT  By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry
DNA Library.
• cDNA Library It is a collection of all the
expressed DNA of a particular cell type.
• For building cDNA library the mRNA is
extracted from a tissue. Taking the mRNA as
a template cDNA is synthesized by the
enzyme reverse transcriptase. From the
cDNA d/s DNA is obtained by using DNA
polymerase ,which is attached to a vector
and introduced into bacteria.
Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT  By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry
Gene Therapy.
• Gene therapy is a rapidly growing field
of medicine in which defective genes
causing diseases are substituted by
correct genes in the patient to cure a
disease.
• Diseases caused by deficiency of a
single gene product can be treated by
gene therapy e.g. thalassemia, sickle
cell anemia, phenyl ketonuria, Lesh-
Nyhan syndrome.

Lecture 1 molecular tech. RDT By Dr Vishnu Kumar Professor, Biochemistry

  • 1. Dr. Vishnu Kumar Professor, Department of Biochemistry, SRMSIMS, Bareilly vkawasthi@hotmail.com madhwapur1976@gmail.com Recombinant DNA Technology and its Applications
  • 2. Learning Objectives After completion of this lecture learner should be able to define:  Recombinant DNA Technology  Restriction Endonucleases Sticky Ends and Blunt ends  DNA Cloning  Vectors (plasmids, Bacteriophases and cosmids)  Gene Therapy  DNA Library  Applications of RDT
  • 3. Recombinant DNA technology This is a novel technology in which DNA sequence is manipulated and chimeric DNA molecule is produced by a method called genetic engineering. Next the chimeric DNA molecule is allowed to multiply. This is a biological method of DNA amplification.
  • 4. • This technology has revolutionized Biology and is having an ever increasing impact on clinical medicine.
  • 7. Enzyme used in RDT Enzyme(s) Function Type II restrictions endonucleases Cleave DNAs at specific base sequences DNA ligase Joints two DNA molecules or fragments DNA polymerase I (E.coli) Fills gaps in duplexes by stepwise addition of nucleotides to 3’ ends Reverse transcriptase Makes a DNA copy of an RNA molecule Polynucleotide kinase Adds a phosphate to the 5’-OH end of a polynucleotide to label it or permit ligation Terminal transferase Adds homopolymer tails to the 3’-OH end of a linear duplex Exonuclease III Removes nucleotides residues from the 3’ ends of a DNA strand Bacteriophage λ Exonuclease Removes nucleotides from the 5’ ends of a duplex to expose single –stranded 3’ ends Alkaline phosphatase Removes terminal phosphates from either the 5’ or 3’ end (or both)
  • 9. Sticky ends & Blunt ends • Some restriction endonucleases make staggered cuts on the two DNA strands, leaving two to four nucleotides of one strand unpaired at each resulting end. • These unpaired strands are referred to as sticky ends, because they can base-pair with each other or with complementary sticky ends of other DNA fragments. • Other restriction endonucleases cleave both strands of DNA at the opposing phosphodiester bonds, leaving no unpaired bases on the ends, often called blunt ends.

  • 14. Few related definitions • Clone  population of cells having the same genetic composition and derived from a single cell by repeated mitosis. • DNA cloning  Involves isolation of DNA fragments and their insertion into the DNA from another biological source ( vector ) for manipulation and multiplication. • To clone means to make identical copies.
  • 15. Some other terms. • Vector  they are small molecules to which the target DNA is attached. There are three types of vectors : plasmids, bacteriophages and cosmids. • Polylinker is a shortsegment of DNA which contains up to 20 restriction sites. • Restriction Endonucleases ( R. E.)  Enzymes that cleave double stranded DNA at specific sites called restriction sites.
  • 17. Application of R. D. T. 1) Diagnosis of diseases like sickle cell anemia, thalassemia. 2) Production of proteins for treatment e.g. insulin, growth hormone. 3) Production of vaccines e.g. hepatitis B. 4) Forensic help e.g. paternity test, prenatal diagnosis and detection of criminal.
  • 18. Application of R. D. T. • 5) Gene therapy for potentially curing diseases caused by a single gene deficiency, e. g. sickle cell disease, thalassemia. • 6) offers rational approach to understand the molecular basis of a disease e.g. sickle cell anemia.
  • 19. Procedure. • 1) Isolation of gene gene is selected and cut at precise location by R.E. which act as molecular scissors. • A vector is selected and cut by the same R.E. • The segment of DNA to be cloned is joined to the vector. This composite DNA is called recombinant DNA.
  • 20. Procedure • The recombinant DNA is introduced into bacterial cell. This step is called transfection. Now each transformed cell would multiply and amplify the target DNA in huge amount. • The cells are grown under conditions that are favorable for protein synthesis. The proteins are isolated from these cells by usual method. Example of clinically important protein is INSULIN.
  • 21. vector • The vector is a self replicating entity which is capable of carrying target DNA into the host cell. Essential properties of a cloning vector are as follows: • 1) It must be capable of autonomous replication. • 2) It must have at least one specific region for restriction endonuclease.
  • 22. vector • A cloning vector may be a plasmid, bactriophage, or a cosmid. An essential technique in genetic engineering is to introduce the human gene into a vector. Covalent binding of the two results in production of recombinant DNA, which is then carried to a suitable host cell. The inserted gene is then replicated, transcribed and translated.
  • 23. Plasmid. • Plasmids are circular, extra chromosomal, DNA molecules of 2000-200,000 bps present in some prokaryotic cells. • A single cell may contain 10- 20 copies of plasmids. They undergo replication with each cell cycle.
  • 24. Plasmid. • Plasmids carry genes that impart antibiotic resistance. • Their function is to deliver a desired DNA segment into a host cell, the process is called transfection. • Properties1) they can pass from one cell to another. 2) foreign genes can be inserted into plasmids quite easily.
  • 26. Bacteriophage. • Lambda phage can carry DNA inserts much larger than that carried by plasmids. • It is a linear double stranded DNA. • Foreign can be inserted easily.
  • 28. Cosmids. • A cosmid is an artificially constructed circular DNA molecule. • It combines useful features of both the plasmid and phage. • It has an antibiotic resistant gene and several restriction sites. • Permits insertion of large fragments of DNA.
  • 30. DNA Library. • 1) Genomic library Refers to a large collection of bacterial cells, each containing a random piece of human genomic DNA attached to a vector. • Entire DNA of a cell is cut into pieces by using different R.E. these cut fragments are introduced into appropriate vector. • These recombinant DNAs are introduced into bacteria to form a genomic library.
  • 32. DNA Library. • cDNA Library It is a collection of all the expressed DNA of a particular cell type. • For building cDNA library the mRNA is extracted from a tissue. Taking the mRNA as a template cDNA is synthesized by the enzyme reverse transcriptase. From the cDNA d/s DNA is obtained by using DNA polymerase ,which is attached to a vector and introduced into bacteria.
  • 34. Gene Therapy. • Gene therapy is a rapidly growing field of medicine in which defective genes causing diseases are substituted by correct genes in the patient to cure a disease. • Diseases caused by deficiency of a single gene product can be treated by gene therapy e.g. thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, phenyl ketonuria, Lesh- Nyhan syndrome.
