Introduction to Transformation Gene: piece of DNA which provides the
instructions for making a protein Genetic Transformation: change
caused by genes. Changes the organism’s traits
Caused by the insertion of genes from different organisms (both same and different species)

About the lab… Learn about the process of moving
genes from one organism to another. Transfer plasmids containing the GFP
gene into Ecoli. Bio-Rad’s unique pGLO plasmid encodes
the gene for the GFP and a gene for resistance to antibiotic ampicillin
Contains a gene regulation system

Gene Regulation Organisms regulate expression of their
genes and proteins present in the cells Allows for adaptation to the environment Eliminate wasteful protein production Ex. Ecoli and Catabolism (breaking
down) of arabinose (sugar) Genes involved in breaking down sugar
are not expressed when no sugar is present How is this so???

Regulation of Genes Regulation of the expression of proteins:
Occurs at the level of transcription from DNA into RNA
Takes place at a promoter Promoter=where transcription begins

How does it work?
GFP
Beta lactamase(ampicillin resistance)
pGlo Plasmids
Bacterial chromosomal DNA
Cell wall
Transform bacteria with the pGlo plasmid and grow under various conditions

Methods of transformation
DNA molecules are too large to easily diffuse or be transported though the cell membrane
ElectroporationElectrical shock makes cell
membranes permeable to DNACalcium Chloride/Heat Shock
Chemically-competent cells uptake DNA after heat shock

Transformation Procedure: Overview
Suspend bacterial colonies in
Transformation Solution Add pGLO plasmid DNA Place tubes on ice
Heat shock at 42oC and place on ice
Incubate with LB nutrient broth
Streak plates
![Page 24: PGLO Notes Biology III Spring 2012. Introduction to Transformation Gene: piece of DNA which provides the instructions for making a protein Genetic](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062717/56649e305503460f94b2097d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why perform each step?
CaCl2 treatment on ice crytallizes fluid membranes and stabilizes distribution of charged molecules
CaCl2 Transformation solution provides Ca++
cations that neutralize the repulsive negative charges of the phosphate backbone of the DNA and the phospholipids of the cell membrane, allowing the DNA to enter the cells

Gene selection
Grow transformed bacteria and control bacteria under various conditions.
On which plates will colonies grow?Which colonies will glow?

The pGlo System
Timing is important…be efficient!!
Mix contents before pipetting!!!
A film of plasmid must be on the loop!
![Page 28: PGLO Notes Biology III Spring 2012. Introduction to Transformation Gene: piece of DNA which provides the instructions for making a protein Genetic](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062717/56649e305503460f94b2097d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sterile Technique
Bacteria are UBIQUITOUS…they are found EVERYWHERE!
Sterile technique refers to procedures that reduce the possibility of contamination…these techniques protect YOU, your CULTURES and REAGENTS, and LAB EQUIPMENT

Closing Considerations
ALWAYS decontaminate you work surfaces with a disinfecting solution: 20ml of liquid household bleach in 1L of tap water. Spray the solution on work surfaces and let
stand for 2 minutes and wipe away ALWAYS thoroughly scrub hands for at
least 20 seconds with soap and hot water before leaving the lab area
