?The characteristics of plasmid DNA

?How to use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate DNAs

To understand:

The principles of purification and quantification of plasmid DNA

1.2 Principle

1.2.1 Plasmid and Vector

Plasmid is a small, independently replicating, piece of extrachromosomal cytoplasmic DNA( double stranded and usually circular ) that is capable of autonomous replication and can be transferred from one organism to another.

Vector serve as carriers to allow replication of recombinant DNA in the host cell, usually a vector covers

?Antibiotic resistance gene: such as ampicillin resistant gene, kanamycine resistant gene, and etc.

?Origin of replication (ori ).

?Multiple cloning site (MSC) or polylinker

?Marker genes: such as LacZ gene.

1.2.2 Alkaline Lysis ( 0.2molNaOH + 1%SDS )

SDS is a kind of anionic detergent. It can break bacterial cells and denature proteins. When bacterial cell wall is broken, the plasmid DNA and genomic DNA will be released out and be denatured in alkali environment. When the solution is neutralized by acidic reagent (such as KAc) , the plasmid DNA will be renatured rapidly due to its smaller size. After centrifugation, the plasmid DNA will be in supernatant, while the genomic DNA will stay in the sediment at the bottom of the tubes together with other cell debris.

1.2.3 DNA Concentration Measurement

Based on the strong absorbance of base pairs (A-T, G-C) at 260nm UV, the concentration of DNA can be measured by spectrophotometry. When detected under neutral condition, A260 is used to calculate the nucleic acid concentration where as the ratio of A260/A280 can be used to estimate the purity of nucleic acid (1.8 for pure DNA).

1.2.4 Restriction Endonuclease

TypeII RE cuts dsDNA at specific restriction sites on specific sequence, producing restriction fragments.

1.2.5 Gel Electrophoresis

Solidified agarose solution has certain size of small pores of which the size is decided by concentration. In the electric field and buffer in neutral pH, negatively charged nucleic acid will migrate toward the positive pole. DNA fragments can be separated by different mobility in gel electrophoresis.

1.2.6 EB ( Ethidium bromide )

EB can bind with DNA through inserting into the base pairs of DNA molecule. Excited by UV, the DNA bands in gel electrophoresis will emit red fluorescence which can be detected easily. The minimal DNA quantity that can be tested by this method is about 10ng.

4 Results and Discussions

4.1 Spectrophotometry of DNA extraction

Table 2 : Spectrophotometry results of DNA extraction

A 260

A 280 A 260/A 280 DNA concentration 0.405 0.214 1.904 201 ng/μl

Generally the ratio A260/A280 of pure DNA is 1.8, smaller than the result. Meanwhile, the

ratio of A260/A230 is relatively high(2.783), suggesting that the amount of RNA is small.

Analysing by synthesis these two facts, the extraction of DNA may

contain certain amount of oligonucleotides which can cause A 260/A 280

to be higher than reference level.

4.2 Photograph of stained gel

After exposure under UV light, photograph was taken and is shown

below.

Well 1 contains untreated plasmid, 2 bands are present on the

lane. The fastest and brightest band locates at the length of around

3.0-

4.0 kb. Because of the fact that plasmid DNA in supercoiled form

moves faster in electrophoresis, bright band at 3-4 kb indicates that

most of plasmids collected are in their natural supercoiled form. The

other dimmer band at around 6 kb suggests that other conformation

of the plasmid DNA also appears in the extraction( DNA with open

strand ). Usually, the dimmer band is brighter than shown in our case.

1 2 3 Ladde r 6.0 3.0 2.0

4.0

One possible explanation is that in procedure c of 3.1,pelleted bacterial cells were not resuspended sufficiently, causing a lose of open strand( as well as some supercoiled form DNA). This can also exlpain the relatively low concentration of DNA(201ng/μl).

Well 2 contains the sample digested by Eco R I alone and single band with the size of approx.

6 kb is presented. Note that total length of recombined pMCV-Myc-SIPAR is 5.

7 kb, the observation of single band near 6 kb suggests a total digestion, which match the expectation of a single incision site.

Well 3contains sample digested by EcoR I and Xho I. Lane 3 has two bands with length slightly shorter than 4 kb and 2 kb, respectively. The lagging band is brighter than the leading band, which is reasonable since the two bands have the same molecular number.

Ladder Well 200ng DNA was added into ladder well, which gives a total mass of 50ng to 3.0 kb fragment. Brightness of leading band in lane 3 is somewhat equal to that of 3.0 kb, suggesting that the sample added contains approximately (50 + 50 * 2 =) 150ng plasmid DNA (note that theoretical length of leading band DNA is 1.9kb and lagging band is 3.8kb). When this value is doubled (reca ll that we loaded 15μl out of 30), the experimental mass of plasmid (around 300ng) is, more or less, close to the DNA that was added to the mixture( 1.5μl * 201 ng/μl = 302ng ).

Questions

1. Difference between preparation of plasmid and genome DNA.

Plasmids are small, supercoiled DNA which can be easily renatured by adjusting pH( such as using alkaline lysis). This make the preparation for plasmid easy. While genome DNA is linear and huge in length and always combined with proteins, the preparation is complicated for protein needs to be degraded and the activity of DNase must be low to avoid the degradation of DNA itself.
