Suppose you digest the genomic DNA of a particular organism with the restriction enzyme SauA. Then you ligate the resulting fragment into a unique BamHI cloning site of a plasmid. The sequence of the restriction sites and position of cleavage is shown below

Note: X and Y and their complementary bases Z and Y’
respectively can be any base (A,C, G, or T)
1) As you can see, ligation is possible because the two restriction
enzymes produce compatible sticky ends. What base should follow the
SauA site to reconstitute a BamHI site after ligation?(5 pts)
2) Assume that there are equal amounts of the four bases (A, C, G, and T) and the bases are randomly distributed in the genome. Calculate the probability to reconstitute both BamHI sites when a random DNA fragment digested by SauA is cloned into a plasmid linearized with BamHI.(5 pts)

You have cut genomic DNA with AvrII and wish to ligate it into pBluescript. However, there is no AvrII site in the multiple cloning region of this plasmid. What other restriction enzyme could you use to cut the plasmid’s multiple cloning region that would produce compatible ends for ligation with your genomic DNA? (Hint: Look up the Compatible Cohesive Ends chart at New England Biolabs website and confer with pBluescript map) (1 point)
3. (2 pts.) You are sequencing the end of a genomic DNA fragment that was cut with the restriction enzyme BamH1 and ligated into a plasmid that was also cut with BamH1. You have denatured the DNA and annealed a labeled primer to plasmid sequences adjacent t<o the insertion site as shown below: 3' BamHi 5' GATCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCCATCGATGCTAGGAATCTTTGCTGATGCTAGTCGATGCCGTAGC ACTACGATCAGCTACGGC 3' 18 base primer 5' Next you add DNA polymerase, buffer, an excess of all four dNTPs, and a small amount of...
The PCR was a success and your target region of 440 bp in length has been amplified. You ligate a short linker containing an Apal restriction enzyme site onto both ends of the PCR product, digest it with Apal, and clone it into the Apal site of the 5 kb plasmid diagrammed below amHI 300 EcoRI 5 kb 3400 1000 EcoRI 2000 Apal Draw the plasmid containing the cloned insert. Indicate clearly where the insert will be located. Include RE...
If the target DNA (the 3.266 Kb E. coli genomic Bam HI fragment)
has the same restriction sites on each end, there are two possible
orientations for the target DNA to insert into the plasmid. The
following restriction enzymes would cut the 3.266 kb Bam HI genomic
fragment containing the RecA gene once or twice or not at all. In
the tables below, list the expected DNA fragment sizes for the two
possible orientations. Round the DNA fragment sizes to...

1. If a restriction enzyme cuts a circular plasmid twice, how many fragments would you see on the gel? 2. How would you estimate the total number of base pairs in a plasmid by looking at the DNA fragments of the digested plasmid on a gel? 3. If a linear 1kb DNA fragment has a restriction site that is located 50 bp from one end of the plasmid, what would you expect to see if the digested and undigested DNA...
2 Addendum 1 to this lab provides information on the location of the EcoRI, and Sspl cut sites in your BlueScript vector and the 1.3 kb EcoRI fragment. Using this information, (a) draw the two possible restriction maps for the recombinant pBlueKan plasmid that you constructed (see below). There are two possible maps because the 1.3 kb fragment could have been cloned in either orientation relative to the vector, Next, (b) predict the sizes of the EcoRI. and Sspl frements...

9. On Worksheet 16.IIIB is a restriction map of bacteriophage lambda. You digest some lambda DNA with the enzymes BamHI and HindIII separately and then load the fragments into an agarose gel and perform electrophoresis. Next, you perform a Southern analysis using the 4,878-bp EcoRI lambda fragment as a probe. a. Draw a picture of the electrophoresis gel, using the outline of the stained electrophoresis gel in Worksheet 16.IIIB (the two smallest HindIII fragments will run off the gel.) b....

Complete the table below by filling in the average length of restriction fragments expected from the genomic DNA (assuming a random distribution of bases) if it were digested with the following four restriction enzymes. (4 marks) The " symbol indicates the location of the cleavage site. Assume 50% G+C Restriction Enzyme Sequence recognized Average length of restriction fragment (base pairs) Msp 1...
