Question

The linking number would decrease. The DNA would change from being negatively to positively supercoiled. The DNA would become less supercoiled (magnitude of supercoiling would decrease). The overall twist in the plasmid would decrease.

You want to clone a fragment of DNA into a plasmid vector such as pBR322. The plasmid is 4.36 kb long and has a single restriction site for the restriction enzyme BamHI. If you digest pBR322 with BamHI, how many linear fragments will result? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) None, the plasmid will remain circular. pBR322 (a plasmid vector) has a single BamHI site and a single BspMI site. A double digestion produces two fragments of approximately 690 bp and 3670 bp. Map the two sites on the circular plasmid. If the BamHI is at the beginning of the plasmid tetracycline resistance gene and the gene is about 1200 bp long, is the BspMI site also in the gene? a) Yes b) No c) Cannot be determined with these data

1. Consider a circular, duplex DNA of 6300 bp entirely in B-form (10.5 bp/turn). a. What are the values of Tw and Lk⁰ ? b. If this circular DNA is isolated from a cell, and has a superhelical density, σ = - 0.06, (where σ = ΔLk/Lk⁰) while remaining in B-form, what are Lk, Tw, and Wr? c. After isolation of the superhelical DNA from part b, Z-DNA binding proteins are added, and 504 bp of B-form DNA (10.5 bp per turn) are converted to Z-form (12 bp/turn). Calculate the new values of Lk, Tw, and Wr. d. Is the DNA in step c) negatively-supercoiled, positively-supercoiled, or relaxed?

00:01 For one, you want to clone a fragment of dna into a plasmid vector such as pbr322.
00:06 The plasmid is 4 .36 kv long and has a single restriction site for the restriction and then bamh1.
00:13 Now, if you digest the pbr322 with bamh1, how many linear fragments would you have? so this is pbr322.
00:27 It has a single bamh1 site.
00:37 So let's say it's here.
00:38 So once you cut the plasmid with the bamh1, the enzyme is going to recognize the bamh1 site and cut it.
00:50 So it only is going to cut once right here.
00:54 So once you cut the circular plasmid once with bamh1 enzyme, it is going to linearize.
01:04 And the size of this fragment is going to be 4 .36 kv.
01:10 And you only produce one fragment.
01:13 So the correct answer is going to be a, one.
01:16 And this fragment is 4 .36 kv long.
01:21 So basically you cut a circle open so it become linearized.
01:26 So this is the first question.
01:28 So i draw the figure to show you what it looks like.
01:31 The second question.
01:33 Now, you have pbr322 has a single bamh1 site and a single bspmi site.
01:41 A double digestion produced two fragment of approximately 690 base pairs, 3670 base pair.
01:49 Map the two sites on a circular plasmid.
01:53 If the bamh1 is at the beginning of the plasmid, tetracycline resistant gene, and a gene is about 1200 base pair long, is the bamh1, bspmi site also in the gene? so let's say you have a plasmid circular...
