Question

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

BamHI Sau A TCC XGAT CY ZCTA GY GGA TCC CCTAGG х ZCTAG GATCY Y G ccTAG GATCC G

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)

    A genetics problem covering chapter 10 concepts. Could really use some help! The Notch gene, involved in Drosophila development, is contained within a restriction fragment of Drosophila genomic DNA produced by cleavage with the enzyme SalI. The restriction map of this Drosophila fragment for several enzymes (Sall, PstI, and Xhol) is shown here; numbers indicate the distances between adjacent restriction sites. This fragment is cloned by sticky-end ligation into the single Sall site of a bacterial plasmid vector that is...

    Can someone please help me answer these? Neat work is greatly appreciated. Explanation will also be appreciated (optional, if you have time). Thank you so much! I will give a big thumbs up :) (1) You start with the pUC18 plasmid that is a -2.7 kb circular DNA molecule. The multiple cloning site (i.e., polylynker) has unique restriction sites in the following order: HindIII, BamHI, EcoRI. Recall that unique restriction site means that these sites are only found once on...

    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...
