Hi,

Recombinant DNA technology is the process in which a target gene  of interest is replicated by inserting it into a vector and creating a recombinant DNA. This recombinant DNA is then returned into an expression system where it is replicated several times to give rise to multiple copies of our desired gene or that gene product.

One of the very important role for the execution of this technology is performed by Restriction endonuclease enzymes. These are the enzymes that have ability to cut the DNA fragment at specific sequence into fragments of different lengths called restriction fragments.

  • They play a very important role in recombinant DNA technology:
  • They can map the location of specific restriction sites where the target sequence is identified and cleaved.
  • They cut down the DNA at specific sites called restriction sites. The host DNA in which foreign gene or target gene is inserted is also cut with the same restriction enzymes. So in the recombinant DNA technology, restriction enzymes act like a molecular scissor which identify and cut certain DNA sequences as per or requirement.
  • The target sequence can be cut from multiple places by restriction enzymes since our target sequence can be present multiple times in the DNA of organism.
  • When restriction enzymes cut the DNA, they leave sticky or blunt ends at that site in such a way that these ends are able to bind with the complementary bases of vector DNA when introduced.
  • Then another enzyme DNA ligase seals the ends of target DNA and vector DNA making a whole recombinant DNA that is ready to be cloned and progress further steps of recombinant DNA technology.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

One of the common genetic disorders is sickle cell anemia, in which 2 recessive alleles must meet to allow for destruction and alteration in the morphology of red blood cells. This usually leads to loss of proper binding of oxygen to hemoglobin and curved, sickle-shaped erythrocytes. The mutation causing this disease occurs in the 6th codon of the HBB gene encoding the hemoglobin subunit β (β-globin), a protein, serving as an integral part of the adult hemoglobin A (HbA), which is a heterotetramer of 2 α chains and 2 β chains that is responsible for binding to the oxygen in the blood. This mutation changes a charged glutamic acid to a hydrophobic valine residue and disrupts the tertiary structure and stability of the hemoglobin molecule. Since in the field of protein intrinsic disorder, charged and polar residues are typically considered as disorder promoting, in opposite to the order-promoting non-polar hydrophobic residues, in this study we attempted to answer a question if intrinsic disorder might have a role in the pathogenesis of sickle cell anemia. To this end, several disorder predictors were utilized to evaluate the presence of intrinsically disordered regions in all subunits of human hemoglobin: α, β, δ, ε, ζ, γ1, and γ2. Then, structural analysis was completed by using the SWISS-MODEL Repository to visualize the outputs of the disorder predictors. Finally, Uniprot STRING and D2P2 were used to determine biochemical interactome and protein partners for each hemoglobin subunit along with analyzing their posttranslational modifications. All these properties were used to determine any differences between the 6 different types of subunits of hemoglobin and to correlate the mutation leading to sickle cell anemia with intrinsic disorder propensity.
