Why is e. coli such a convenient host cell for transformation in biotechnology?

Gelneren [198K]2 years ago

<span>The genome of the E. coli bacteria is very crisp and simple with only 4400 genes, easy to study and understand. The ability of the bacteria to multiply drastically producing a generation in 1200 seconds under suitable growth condition dragged the attention of the researchers. Coming to the safety in handling the organisms, except for the particular harmful strain (O157:H7), the normal organism from the flora of the gut is safe to handle under suitable microbiological environment. The first completely sequenced genome is an additional feather in the cap of E. coli making the bacteria easier to use in recombinant DNA technology which involves nothing but the ultimate expression of proteins. Also the competence of the E. coli bacteria as a host for foreign DNAs and simple laboratory procedure to cultivate and adaptability to both aerobic and anaerobic environment made the E. coli bacteria a pioneer in the field of biotechnology.</span>

Adenine methylase is an enzyme used during mismatch repair (MMR). It helps determine which strand needs to be repaired by discri
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - MMR would be hindered because both strands would be unmethylated and both would appear as new DNA strands and it would not be able to determine which strand has the error .

Explanation:

In gene expression or DNA replication, the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of DNA from nucleoside triphosphate causes errors sometimes such as mismatch base pair that result in a change in genetic makeup.

For MMR, the DNA template and the strand formed required easily to be differentiated. As the newly synthesized strand is unmethylated and the DNA template strand is methylated results in DNA remain hemimethylated for a very short period.

After MMR, DNA adenine methylase enzyme that transfers a methyl group to the adenine of the sequence 5'-GATC-3' daughter strand formed.

Mutated DAM or DNA adenine methylase will not be able to transfer methyl group which leaves both template and daughter strands unmethylated and mismatch repair would be hindered as it will not be able to identify.
