Transformation
transformation Permanent, heritable alteration in a cell resulting from the uptake and incorporation of a foreign DNA. (Also, conversion of a "normal" mammalian cell into a cell with cancer-like properties usually induced by treatment with a virus or other cancer-causing agent.)
![Page 9: Gene Cloning, Expression, and Mutagenesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/568146bd550346895db3f3a8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Screen Bacterial Colonies and Identify Your Correct Transformants
By using colony hybridizationBacterial colonies growing on agar plates can be transferred to nitrocellulose filters. The filters can be prepared for hybridization with your probe.
By using X-gal and IPTG: -complementationSome cloning vectors (pBluscript, pGEM..) contain coding region of -fragment of -galatosidase which is required for association with -fragment to form an active -galatosidase. Disruption of -fragment by inserting a foreign DNA causes inactivation of -galatosidase activity. (see next slide)
By random picking colonies- the most common methodYou may pick several colonies and isolate DNA using mini-prep method follow by restriction enzyme digestion to identify your correct colonies.

Producing high level of proteins from cloned cDNA
Note: E. coli lacks the enzymes that catalyze many of the post-translational modifications found on eukaryotic proteins. Thus, some eukaryotic proteins cannot be produced in active form in E. coli cells. This limitation can be overcome by developing eukaryotic expression system.
Expression of Cloned Gene

Baculovirus is a very large DNA virus (genome of about 150 kb) that infects insect cells. To express a foreign gene in baculovirus, the gene of interest is cloned in place of the viral coat-protein gene in a plasmid carrying a small part of the viral genome. The recombinant plasmid is cotransfected into insect cells with wild-type baculovirus DNA. At a low frequency, the plasmid and viral DNAs recombine through homologous sequences, resulting in the insertion of the foreign gene into the viral genome. Virus plaques develop, and the plaques containing recombinant virus look different because they lack the coat protein. The plaques with recombinant virus are picked and expanded. This virus stock is then used to infect a fresh culture of insect cells, resulting in high expression of the foreign protein.

In Vitro Mutagenesis
One of the most established techniques is site directed mutagenesis. By using this method, we can create mutations at any specific site in a gene whose wild-type sequence is already known. This known sequence is used to chemically synthesize short DNA segments called oligonucleotides. Through single-strand hybridization, these oligonucleotides can be directed to any chosen site in the gene. In one approach, the gene of interest is inserted into a single-stranded phage vector, such as the phage M13. A synthetic oligonucleotide containing the desired mutation is designed. This oligonucleotide is allowed to hybridize to the mutant site by complementary base pairing. The oligonucleotide serves as a primer for the in vitro synthesis of the complementary strand of the M13 vector.
