Facts the first restriction enzyme HindII was isolated in 1970 by
Hamilton Smith and his colleagues [1]
the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Daniel Nathans Werner Arber and Hamilton Smith

211 Restriction modification system ( 限制与修饰系统)
Restriction Enzymes have evolved to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses [1]
Inside a bacterial host the restriction enzymes selectively cut up foreign DNA in a process called restriction
Host DNA is methylated by a modification enzyme (a methylase) to protect it from the restriction enzymersquos activity
Collectively these two processes form the restriction modification system (R-M system)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine
Assignment1 what are the methylating sites for Guanine and Thymine
212 Nomenclature ( 命名)Since their discovery in the 1970s many different restriction enzymes have been identified in different bacteria Each enzyme is named after the bacterium from which it was isolated using a naming system based on bacterial genus(属) species(种) and strain(菌株)
eg EcoRI restriction enzyme was derived as follow

213 Types of Restriction Enzymes
Restriction endonucleases are categorized into three general groups (Types I II and III) based on bull composition (protein subunits)
bull enzyme cofactor requirements (Mg2+ SAM ATP)
bull the nature of their target sequence
bull the position of their DNA cleavage site relative to thetarget sequence
bull Possess three subunits called HsdR HsdM and HsdS HsdR is required for restriction HsdM is necessary for adding methyl groups to host DNA HsdS is important for specificity of cut site recognition in addition to its methyl transferase activity
multifunctional enzymes multimers
bull Enzyme cofactors required for their activity S- Adenosyl methionine (AdoMet or SAM) hydrolyzed adenosine triphosphate (ATP) magnesium ions (Mg2+ )
Type I restriction enzymes
Me doner
Energy doner
Cleavage activity activator
Target sequence
The recognition site is asymmetrical and is composed of two portionsmdashone containing 3ndash4 nucleotides and another containing 4ndash5 nucleotidesmdashseparated by a spacer of about 6ndash8 nucleotides
eg EcoB
5rsquo-TGANNNNNNNNTGCT-3rsquo
Cleavage sitecut at a site that differs and is some distance (at least 1000 bp) away from their recognition site
Recognition site ne Cutting site
Contain more than one subunit
Double functions (cut and methylase)
Require Mg2+ AdoMet and ATP cofactors for their roles in DNA methylation and restriction respectively
Recognize two separate non-palindromic sequences that are inversely oriented (反向排列)
eg EcoP1 AGACC EcoP15 CAGCAG
Cut DNA about 20-30 base pairs out side the recognition site with unpredictable manner
Type III restriction enzymes
bull Dimers (consists of two identical subunits)
bull Usually require only Mg2+ as a cofactor for their enzyme activity
bull Restriction activity but no modification
bull Recognition sites are usually undivided and palindromic and 4ndash8 nucleotides in length
bull Each cuts in a predictable manner at a site within or adjacent to the recognition sequence
The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA
Okazaki fragment (冈崎片段)
Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery
234 Reverse Transcriptase
Functions
RNA-dependent DNA ploymerase
RNase H activity removing RNA from the RNA-DNA hybrids
DNA polymerase activity
RNA retroviruseseg HIV breast cancer
The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull A useful tool to remove 5rsquo- phosphates and prevent the DNA from ligating thereby keeping DNA molecules linear until the next step of the process for which they are being prepared
bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

211 Restriction modification system ( 限制与修饰系统)
Restriction Enzymes have evolved to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses [1]
Inside a bacterial host the restriction enzymes selectively cut up foreign DNA in a process called restriction
Host DNA is methylated by a modification enzyme (a methylase) to protect it from the restriction enzymersquos activity
Collectively these two processes form the restriction modification system (R-M system)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine

212 Nomenclature ( 命名)Since their discovery in the 1970s many different restriction enzymes have been identified in different bacteria Each enzyme is named after the bacterium from which it was isolated using a naming system based on bacterial genus(属) species(种) and strain(菌株)

213 Types of Restriction Enzymes
Restriction endonucleases are categorized into three general groups (Types I II and III) based on bull composition (protein subunits)
bull enzyme cofactor requirements (Mg2+ SAM ATP)
bull the nature of their target sequence
bull the position of their DNA cleavage site relative to thetarget sequence
bull Possess three subunits called HsdR HsdM and HsdS HsdR is required for restriction HsdM is necessary for adding methyl groups to host DNA HsdS is important for specificity of cut site recognition in addition to its methyl transferase activity
multifunctional enzymes multimers
bull Enzyme cofactors required for their activity S- Adenosyl methionine (AdoMet or SAM) hydrolyzed adenosine triphosphate (ATP) magnesium ions (Mg2+ )

bull Recognition sites are usually undivided and palindromic and 4ndash8 nucleotides in length
bull Each cuts in a predictable manner at a site within or adjacent to the recognition sequence
The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA
Okazaki fragment (冈崎片段)
Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

RNA retroviruseseg HIV breast cancer
The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA

M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition

Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

211 Restriction modification system ( 限制与修饰系统)
Restriction Enzymes have evolved to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses [1]
Inside a bacterial host the restriction enzymes selectively cut up foreign DNA in a process called restriction
Host DNA is methylated by a modification enzyme (a methylase) to protect it from the restriction enzymersquos activity
Collectively these two processes form the restriction modification system (R-M system)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine

Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

211 Restriction modification system ( 限制与修饰系统)
Restriction Enzymes have evolved to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses [1]
Inside a bacterial host the restriction enzymes selectively cut up foreign DNA in a process called restriction
Host DNA is methylated by a modification enzyme (a methylase) to protect it from the restriction enzymersquos activity
Collectively these two processes form the restriction modification system (R-M system)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine

bull enzyme cofactor requirements (Mg2+ SAM ATP)
bull the nature of their target sequence
bull the position of their DNA cleavage site relative to thetarget sequence
bull Possess three subunits called HsdR HsdM and HsdS HsdR is required for restriction HsdM is necessary for adding methyl groups to host DNA HsdS is important for specificity of cut site recognition in addition to its methyl transferase activity

Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment

Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)

DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends

211 Restriction modification system ( 限制与修饰系统)
Restriction Enzymes have evolved to provide a defense mechanism against invading viruses [1]
Inside a bacterial host the restriction enzymes selectively cut up foreign DNA in a process called restriction
Host DNA is methylated by a modification enzyme (a methylase) to protect it from the restriction enzymersquos activity
Collectively these two processes form the restriction modification system (R-M system)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine
Assignment1 what are the methylating sites for Guanine and Thymine
212 Nomenclature ( 命名)Since their discovery in the 1970s many different restriction enzymes have been identified in different bacteria Each enzyme is named after the bacterium from which it was isolated using a naming system based on bacterial genus(属) species(种) and strain(菌株)

213 Types of Restriction Enzymes
Restriction endonucleases are categorized into three general groups (Types I II and III) based on bull composition (protein subunits)
bull enzyme cofactor requirements (Mg2+ SAM ATP)
bull the nature of their target sequence
bull the position of their DNA cleavage site relative to thetarget sequence
bull Possess three subunits called HsdR HsdM and HsdS HsdR is required for restriction HsdM is necessary for adding methyl groups to host DNA HsdS is important for specificity of cut site recognition in addition to its methyl transferase activity
multifunctional enzymes multimers
bull Enzyme cofactors required for their activity S- Adenosyl methionine (AdoMet or SAM) hydrolyzed adenosine triphosphate (ATP) magnesium ions (Mg2+ )
Type I restriction enzymes
Me doner
Energy doner
Cleavage activity activator
Target sequence
The recognition site is asymmetrical and is composed of two portionsmdashone containing 3ndash4 nucleotides and another containing 4ndash5 nucleotidesmdashseparated by a spacer of about 6ndash8 nucleotides
eg EcoB
5rsquo-TGANNNNNNNNTGCT-3rsquo
Cleavage sitecut at a site that differs and is some distance (at least 1000 bp) away from their recognition site
Recognition site ne Cutting site
Contain more than one subunit
Double functions (cut and methylase)
Require Mg2+ AdoMet and ATP cofactors for their roles in DNA methylation and restriction respectively
Recognize two separate non-palindromic sequences that are inversely oriented (反向排列)
eg EcoP1 AGACC EcoP15 CAGCAG
Cut DNA about 20-30 base pairs out side the recognition site with unpredictable manner
Type III restriction enzymes
bull Dimers (consists of two identical subunits)
bull Usually require only Mg2+ as a cofactor for their enzyme activity
bull Restriction activity but no modification
bull Recognition sites are usually undivided and palindromic and 4ndash8 nucleotides in length
bull Each cuts in a predictable manner at a site within or adjacent to the recognition sequence
The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication

topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated

Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated

Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends

bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)

The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull A useful tool to remove 5rsquo- phosphates and prevent the DNA from ligating thereby keeping DNA molecules linear until the next step of the process for which they are being prepared
bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine

The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling

Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment

The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments

A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA

As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull A useful tool to remove 5rsquo- phosphates and prevent the DNA from ligating thereby keeping DNA molecules linear until the next step of the process for which they are being prepared
bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine

Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling

Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)

DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA

Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80

RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

In addition to possessing a particular methylase individual bacterial strains also contained accompanying specific endonuclease activities
A characteristic feature of the sites of methylation was that they involved palindromic (回文) DNA sequences EcoR1 methylase specificity ( Rubin and Modrich 1977 )
The REs cleaved at or near the methylation recognition site However they would not cleave at these specific palindromic sequences if the DNA was methylated
Methylation occurres at very specific sites in the DNA
Typical sites of methylation include the N6 position of adenine the N4 position or the C5 position of cytosine

bull the nature of their target sequence
bull the position of their DNA cleavage site relative to thetarget sequence

The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80

242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups

The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)

one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product

Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80

Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules

Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication

topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)

4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends

bull the nature of their target sequence
bull the position of their DNA cleavage site relative to thetarget sequence

The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops

Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends

Target sequence
The recognition site is asymmetrical and is composed of two portionsmdashone containing 3ndash4 nucleotides and another containing 4ndash5 nucleotidesmdashseparated by a spacer of about 6ndash8 nucleotides
eg EcoB
5rsquo-TGANNNNNNNNTGCT-3rsquo

The most commonly available and used restriction enzymes
Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

Type II restriction enzymes
Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase

Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)

4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

RNA retroviruseseg HIV breast cancer
The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker

Structure of EcoRI dimer
In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )

Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)

In the 1990s and early 2000s new enzymes from this family were discovered that did not follow all the classical criteria of this enzyme class and new subfamily nomenclature was developed to divide this large family into subcategories based on deviations from typical characteristics of type II enzymes These subgroups are defined using a letter suffixType IIB restriction enzymes (eg BcgI and BplI) are multimers containing more than one subunit They cleave DNA on both sides of their recognition to cut out the recognition site They require both AdoMet and Mg2+ cofactors Type IIE restriction endonucleases (eg NaeI) cleave DNA following interaction with two copies of their recognition sequence One recognition site acts as the target for cleavage while the other acts as an allosteric effector that speeds up or improves the efficiency of enzyme cleavage Similar to type IIE enzymes type IIF restriction endonucleases (eg NgoMIV) interact with two copies of their recognition sequence but cleave both sequences at the same timeType IIG restriction endonucleases (Eco57I) do have a single subunit like classical Type II restriction enzymes but require the cofactor AdoMet to be active Type IIM restriction endonucleases such as DpnI are able to recognize and cut methylated DNAType IIS restriction endonucleases (eg FokI) cleave DNA at a defined distance from their non-palindromic asymmetric recognition sites These enzymes may function as dimers Similarly Type IIT restriction enzymes (eg Bpu10I and BslI) are composed of two different subunits Some recognize palindromic sequences while others have asymmetric recognition sites

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

RNA retroviruseseg HIV breast cancer
The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull A useful tool to remove 5rsquo- phosphates and prevent the DNA from ligating thereby keeping DNA molecules linear until the next step of the process for which they are being prepared
bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment

Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target

DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling

Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products

topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products

topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery
234 Reverse Transcriptase

DNA polymerase activity
RNA retroviruseseg HIV breast cancer
The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull A useful tool to remove 5rsquo- phosphates and prevent the DNA from ligating thereby keeping DNA molecules linear until the next step of the process for which they are being prepared
bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA

Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity

The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA

Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products

PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)

Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules

Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers

bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)

DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand

233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning

Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules

Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

22 DNA ligase
DNA ligase is a special type of ligase which is basically an enzyme that in the cell repairs single-stranded discontinuities in double stranded DNA molecules ( strands that have double-strand break a break in both complementary strands of DNA)
Purified DNA ligase is used in gene cloning to join DNA molecules together The alternative a single-strand break is fixed by a different type of DNA ligase using the complementary strand as a template but still requires DNA ligase to create the final phosphodiester bond to fully repair the DNA
Okazaki fragment (冈崎片段)
Ligase mechanism
The mechanism of DNA ligase is to form two covalent phosphodiester bonds between 3 hydroxyl ends of one nucleotide with the 5 phosphate end of another

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

RT 5 minVol 6 ul
PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment

DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends

bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)

topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system
4 dNTPs (substrates) Mg2+
Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA

RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)

RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers

Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication
Taq polymerase has a nontemplate-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single A to the 3rsquo-ends of PCR products
Linearized vector DNA with overhanging 3rsquo-T and covalently bound to the topoisomerase I

PCR products inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector
topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed
23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)

Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA

M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition

Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

bull A useful tool to remove 5rsquo- phosphates and prevent the DNA from ligating thereby keeping DNA molecules linear until the next step of the process for which they are being prepared
bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

The formation of phosphodiester bound
ATP is required for the ligase reaction
One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers

The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI

A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)

RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

One vital and often tricky aspect to performing successful recombination experiments involving the ligation of cohesive-ended fragments is controlling the optimal temperature
Most experiments use T4 DNA Ligase (isolated from bacteriophage T4) which is most active at 25degC However in order to perform successful ligations with cohesive-ended fragments the optimal enzyme temperature needs to be balanced with the melting temperature Tm (also the annealing temperature) of the DNA fragments being ligated
In general 14-16 degC over night (on)
Thinking Why the temperature is the critical factor affecting ligation
If the ambient (周围) temperature exceeds Tm homologous pairing of the sticky ends will not occur because the high temperature disrupts hydrogen bonding
Since blunt-ended DNA fragments have no cohesive ends to anneal controlling the optimal temperature becomes much less important The most efficient ligation temperature will be the temperature at which T4 DNA ligase functions optimally Therefore the majority of blunt-ended ligations are carried out at 20-25degC
Joining of stick ends and blunt ends
Use of linkers
an adaptor containing sticky end with 5rsquo-OH modified terminus to avoid self ligation
Use of adaptors when the restriction enzyme can also cut the DNA fragment using an adaptor to join DNA fragments may considered
Produce sticky ends by homopolyer tailling
use of terminal deoxylnucleotidyl transferase
Add a series of poly nucleotides onto the 3rsquo-terminal of a dsDNA
Only need to add one dNTP into the test tube when conduct the polymerase catalyzing reaction
Topoisomerase mediated TA cloning
bull Topoisomerase I from vaccinia virus binds dsDNA at specific sequence and cleave it after the 5rsquo-CCCTT in one strand
bull The energy from the broken bond is conserved by formation of a covalent bond between the 3rsquo- phosphate of the cleavaged DNA strand and the 274 tyrosine residue of topoisomerase I
bull The phospho-tyrosyl bond between the DNA and enzyme can subsequently be attacked by the 5rsquo hydroxyl of the original cleaved strand reversing the reaction and releasing topoisomerase (Shuman 1991-1994)
Topoisomerase is both a restriction enzyme and ligase naturally involving in DNA replication

The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI

23 DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase an enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand alone the template DNA strand
DNA polymerases are best-known for their role in DNA replication in which the polymerase reads an intact DNA strand as a template and uses it to synthesize the new strand The newly-polymerized molecule is complementary to the template strand and identical to the templates original partner strand
DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment

The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments

Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment

T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ

To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

DNA polymerases use a magnesium ion for catalytic activity
231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system

The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80

RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end

T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

topoisomerase originally termed gyrase was first discovered by Taiwanese Harvard Professor James C Wang[
The double-helical configuration that DNA strands naturally reside in makes them difficult to separate and yet they must be separated by helicase proteins if other enzymes are to transcribe the sequences that encode proteins or if chromosomes are to be replicated In so-called circular DNA in which double helical DNA is bent around and joined in a circle the two strands are topologically linked or knotted Otherwise identical loops of DNA having different numbers of twists are topoisomers and cannot be interconverted by any process that does not involve the breaking of DNA strands Topoisomerases catalyze and guide the unknotting of DNA by creating transient breaks in the DNA using a conserved Tyrosine as the catalytic residue
bullType II topoisomerase cuts both strands of one DNA double helix passes another unbroken DNA helix through it and then reanneals the cut strand It is also split into two subclasses type IIA and type IIB topoisomerases which share similar structure and mechanisms Examples of type IIA topoisomerases include eukaryotic topo II E coli gyrase and E coli topo IV Examples of type IIB topoisomerase include topo VI
Type I topoisomerase cuts one strand of a DNA double helix relaxation occurs and then the cut strand is reannealed

Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

231 DNA polymerase I and Klenow fragment
Structure single peptide with different domains
Functions
5rsquo3 Polymerase activity 3rsquo5 exonuclease (proofreading) 5rsquo3 exonuclease activity (RNA Primer remove)
Reaction condition for noncell system

Peimers with 3rsquo-OH (no known DNA polimerase is able to begin a new chain)
DNA template template reading 3rsquo 5rsquo new chain extension 5rsquo3rsquo
The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment
Template dependent D NA polymerase3rsquo-5rsquo cleavage (exonuclease)
Characteristics In general T4 DNA polymerase is used for the same types of reactions as Klenow fragment particularly in blunting the ends of DNA with 5 or 3 overhangs
Source Bacterophageies of Ecoli
T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

The Klenow fragment is a large protein fragment produced when DNA pol I from E coli is enzymatically cleaved by the protease subtilisin
Because the 5 rarr 3 exonuclease activity of DNA pol I makes it unsuitable for many applications the Klenow fragment which lacks this activity can be very useful in research
The Klenow fragment is extremely useful for research-based tasks such as
bull Synthesis of double-stranded DNA from ssDNA templates bull Filling in (meaning removal of overhangs to create blunt ends) recessed 3 ends of DNA fragments bull Digesting away protruding (凸出的) 3 overhangs bull Preparation of radioactive DNA probes
232 T4 and T7 DNA polymerase
Function Similar to Klenow fagment

T4 DNA polymerase
two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment
The polymerase consists of a 11 complex of the viral T7 gene 5 protein (80kDA) and the E coli thioredoxin (12kDA)
high fidelity and strand displacement synthesis prevention
This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA

Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80

233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning

Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

two differences between the two enzymes that have practical signficance
The 3 -gt 5 exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase is roughly 200 times that of Klenow fragment making it preferred by many investigators for blunting DNAs with 3 overhangs
While Klenow fragment will displace ( shift ) downstream oligonucleotides as it polymerizes T4 DNA polymerase will not This attribute makes T4 DNA polymerase the more efficient choice for certain types of oligonucleotide mutagenesis reactions
T7 DNA polymerase
a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase responsible for the fast rate of T7 phage DNA replication in vivo
the 3 -gt 5 are approximately 1000-fold greater than that of Klenow fragment

commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

This polymerase is unique due to its considerable processivity or ability to stay on DNA for a greater than average number of base pairs This makes it particularly useful for recombinant protein expression systems
Using the T7 promoter and T7 polymerase strongly drive the inserted gene of interest without inducing host protein overexpression
It is also suitable for site-directed mutagenesis
233 Taq DNA polymerasea thermostable DNA polymerase named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D Brock in 1965
Taqs optimum temperature for activity is 75-80 with a half life of 9 minutes at 975 and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72
One of Taqlsquos drawbacks (弊端) is its relatively low replication fidelity It lacks a 3- 5lsquo exonuclease proofreading activity and has an error rate measured at about 1 in 9000 nucleotides
Some thermostable DNA polymerases have been isolated from other thermophilic bacteria and archaea such as Pfu DNA polymerase possessing a proofreading activity and are being used instead of (or in combination with) Taq for high-fidelity (高保真) amplification
Taq makes DNA products that have A (adenine) overhangs at their 3 ends This may be useful in TA cloning
Pfu makes blunt PCR fragments
Put these two enzymes together
A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery

Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques

Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays

A reverse transcriptase also known as RNA-dependent DNA polymerase is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into complimentary DNA (cDNA) It also helps in the formation of a double helix DNA once the RNA has been reverse transcribed into a single strand cDNA
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of WisconsinndashMadison and independently by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT The two shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco for their discovery
234 Reverse Transcriptase
Functions
RNA-dependent DNA ploymerase
RNase H activity removing RNA from the RNA-DNA hybrids
DNA polymerase activity
RNA retroviruseseg HIV breast cancer
The process of reverse transcription is extremely error-prone ( 易于出错 ) and it is during this step that mutations may occur
Host cell can use its DNA polymerase to synthesis the second strand DNA and displace the RNA from the cDNA
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

HIV-1 reverse transcriptase from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (PDB 1HMV)
M-MLV reverse transcriptase from the Moloney murine leukemia virus ( 鼠白血病病毒 )
AMV reverse transcriptase from the avian myeloblastosis virus ( 禽成髓细胞瘤病毒 )
Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Well studied transcriptases
The highlighted two are well commercialized and routinely used in molecular cloning
Applications
As HIV uses reverse transcriptase to copy its genetic material and generate new viruses (part of a retrovirus proliferation circle) specific drugs have been designed to disrupt the process and thereby suppress its growth Collectively these drugs are known as reverse transcriptase inhibitors and include the nucleoside and nucleotide analogues( 类似物 ) zidovudine (trade name Retrovir) lamivudine (Epivir) and tenofovir (Viread) as well as non-nucleoside inhibitors such as nevirapine (Viramune)
Target of antivirus drugs
Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as well as real-time PCR
Reverse transcriptase is used also to create cDNA libraries from mRNA The commercial availability of reverse transcriptase greatly improved knowledge in the area of molecular biology as along with other enzymes it allowed scientists to clone sequence and characterize DNA
24 Other Enzymes241 Alkaline phosphatase (ALP ALKP)
Ribbon diagram (N-terminus = blue C-terminus = red) of the dimeric structure of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
A hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from many types of molecules including nucleotides (DNA RNA) proteins and alkaloids The process of removing the phosphate group is called dephosphorylation
Alkaline phosphatases are most effective in an alkaline environment It is sometimes used synonymously as basic phosphatase
BAP isolated from bacteria In bacteria alkaline phosphatase is located in the periplasmic space external to the cell membrane BAP is comparatively resistant to inactivation denaturation and degradation and also has a higher rate of activity The optimal pH for the activity of the E coli enzyme is 80
CIP derived from Calf Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase the bovine enzyme optimum pH is slightly higher at 85

bull A useful tool to remove 5rsquo- phosphates and prevent the DNA from ligating thereby keeping DNA molecules linear until the next step of the process for which they are being prepared
bull Radiolabeling (replacement by radioactive phosphate groups) in order to measure the presence of the labeled DNA through further steps in the process or experiment For these purposes the alkaline phosphatase from shrimp is the most useful as it is the easiest to inactivate once it has done its job
bullDiagnostic uses
Use in research
242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

242 S1 NucleaseAn endonuclease that is active against single-stranded DNA and RNA molecules It is five times more active on DNA than RNA
The reaction products are oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
It can also occasionally introduce single-stranded breaks in double-stranded DNA or RNA or DNA-RNA hybrids
It is used as a reagent in nuclease protection assays removing single stranded tails from DNA molecules to create blunt ends and opening hairpin loops
243 DNase and RNase
DNase An endonuclease that is active against dsDNA and ssDNA molecules
Heat inactive EDTA inhibition
The reaction products oligonucleotides or single nucleotides with 5 phosphoryl groups
Use DNase free stuffs to perform the DNA cloning
DNase I is commonly used in DNA foot-printing and in RNA extraction
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
An end labeled DNA probe is incubated with a purified DNA-binding factor or with a protein extract
The unprotected DNA is then digested with DNase I such that on average every DNA molecule is cut once
Digestion products are then resolved by electrophoresis
Comparison of the DNase I digestion pattern in the presence or absence of protein will allow the identification of a footprint (protected region)
DNase I in DNA foot-printing
RNase (Ribonuclease) A type of nuclease that catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components
endoribonucleases
exoribonucleases
RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process As well as cleaning of cellular RNA that is no longer required RNases play key roles in the maturation of all RNA molecules both messenger RNAs and non-coding RNAs that function in varied cellular processes
comprise several sub-classes of the phosphorolytic enzymes and of the hydrolytic enzymes
one of the hardiest enzymes in common laboratory usage heat resistant extremely common
RNases
RNases are extremely common resulting in very short lifespans for any RNA that is not in a protected environment
It is worth noting that all intracellular RNAs are protected from RNase activity by a number of strategies including 5 end capping 3 end polyadenylation and folding within an RNA protein complex (ribonucleoprotein particle or RNP)
RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
25 Nucleic probes
To detect hybridization of the probe to its target sequence the probe is tagged (or labelled) with a molecular marker of either radioactive or (more recently) fluorescent molecules
commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends
Randome priming using random synthesized hexameric oligonucleotides (6 聚寡核苷酸) as primers to anneal with an DNA fragments run PCR by klenow fragment to produce radiolabeling probes (to get a probe pool)

commonly used markers are 32P or Digoxigenin which is non-radioactive antibody-based marker
DNA sequences or RNA transcripts that have moderate to high sequence similarity to the probe are then detected by visualizing the hybridized probe via autoradiography or other imaging techniques
硝酸纤维膜
Depending on the method the probe may be synthesized using phosphoramidite method or generated and labeled by PCR amplification Molecular DNA- or RNA-based probes are now routinely used in screening gene libraries detecting nucleotide sequences with blotting methods and in other gene technologies like microarrays
Probes labeling techniques
Nick Translation carefully using DNase I digest DNA to produce nicks then using the DNA polymerase and dNTP (one of which was radio-labeled) The nick may shift as the enzyme catalyzing deoxylnucleotidyl on the 3rsquo-end
End Filling a gentaler method than nick translation and rarely causes breakage of the DNA but unfortunately can only be use to label DNA molecules that have sticky ends

RNase A an RNase that is commonly used in research
It is sequence specific for single-stranded RNAs It cleaves 3end of unpaired C and U residues leaving a 3-phosphorylated product
RNase H a ribonuclease that cleaves the RNA in a DNARNA duplex to produce ssDNA RNase H is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism aided by an enzyme-bound divalent metal ion RNase H leaves a 5-phosphorylated product
RNase I cleaves 3-end of ssRNA at all dinucleotide bonds leaving a 5 hydroxyl and 3 phosphate
Nucleic probe In molecular biology a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length (usually 100-1000 bases long) which is used to detect the presence of the DNA target nucleotide sequences that are complementary to the sequence in the probe
The probe hybridizes to ssDNA or RNA) whose base sequence allows probe-target base pairing due to complementarity between the probe and target
The labeled probe is first denatured (by heating or under alkaline conditions) into single DNA strands and then hybridized to the target DNA (Southern blotting) or RNA (northern blotting) immobilized on a membrane or in situ
