問答題（共5 題，每題10 分，共50 分）
1. Why does lowering the ionic strength of a solution of double-stranded DNA
permit the DNA to denature more readily (for example, to denature at a lower
temperature than at a higher ionic strength)?
Ans:
Lower ionic strength reduces the screening of the negative charges on the
phosphate groups by positive ions in the medium. The result is stronger
charge-charge repulsion between the phosphate, which favors strand separation.
2. Diagram the biosynthetic pathways from the salvaging of hypoxanthine base
to the formation of dATP. Use abbreviations (e.g., dATP), not complete
structures. Name the enzyme of each reaction. (Note: The formation of AMP
from IMP involve two steps, catalyzed by adenylosuccinate synthetase and
adenylosuccinate lyase)（敘述主要的反應物及產物即可，不需要化學平衡式）
Ans:
Hypoxanthine + PRPP → IMP (hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase)
IMP + asparte → adenylosuccinate (adenylosuccinate synthetase)
Adenylosuccinate → AMP + fumarate (adenylosuccinate lyase)
AMP + ATP → ADP + ADP (adenylate kinase or nucleoside monophosphate kinase)
ADP → dADP (ribonucleotide reductase)
dADP + ATP → dATP + ADP (nucleoside diphosphate kinase)
3. Explain why inhibitors of dihydrofolate reductase be used to treat cancers
and bacterial infections? Describe the complete reaction cycle that
dihydrofolate reductase participates first, and then answer the question.
Ans:
Thymidylate synthase catalyzes the conversion of dUMP to dTMP, which is one
of the building blocks of DNA. In conversion of dUMP to dTMP, an one-carbon
unit at the hydroxymethyl(-CH2OH) oxidation level is transferred from
N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to dUMP by thymidylate synthase, then
reduced to a methyl group. The reduction occurs at the expense of oxidation of
tetrahydrofolate to dihydrofolate, and dihydrofolate reductase is required to
reduce the dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. The activity of dihydrofolate
reductase is required to complete the reaction cycle for the synthesis of dTMP
from dUMP; thus inhibiters of dihydrofolate reductase could block the source
of dTMP for DNA synthesis.
As the cellular pools of nucleotides are quite small, perhaps 1% or less of
the amounts required to synthesize the cell's DNA. Therefore, dividing cells
must continue to synthesize nucleotides, and in some cases nucleotide synthesis
may limit the rates of DNA replication and transcription. Thus inhibitors of
dihydrofolate reductase, which block the source of dTMP for DNA synthesis,
restrain the proliferation of fast-growing cells, such as cancer cells and
bacteria, significantly, and thus are used to treat cancers and bacterial
infections.
4. What is the essential difference between a genomic library and a cDNA
library? Name one enzyme that is always used to make a cDNA library, but is
generally not used to make a genomic DNA library. Describe its function
briefly.
Ans:
A genomic library is produced when the complete genome of a particular
organism is cleaved into thousands of fragments and the fragments are cloned by
insertion into a cloning vector.
cDNA library - first extracts mRNA from an organism or from specific cells
and then prepares complementary DNAs (cDNAs) from the RNA catalyzed by the
enzyme reverse transcriptase. The resulting double-stranded DNA fragments are
then inserted into a vector and cloned, creating a population of clones called
a cDNA library.
A genomic library contains (in principle) all of the sequences present in the
chromosome(s), including DNA sequences that are not transcribed. Because a cDNA
library is made as a DNA copy of mRNA, it contains only those DNA sequences
that are expressed in the cell.
Reverse transcriptase is used to make first a single-stranded DNA
complementary to mRNA, then a double-stranded DNA.
5. A DNA sequence that may be present as only a single copy in a large
mammalian genome can be amplified and cloned using the polymerase chain
reaction (PCR). Describe the steps and reaction components required in a PCR
experiment. Illustrate the steps in just one round.
Ans:
DNA with the desired sequence is heated to convert it to single strands and
cooled in the presence of an excess of oligonucleotide primers that flank the
sequence to be amplified. A heat-stable DNA polymerase extends the primers,
replicating the desired sequence.
The reaction components required in a PCR experiment include:
A DNA template containing the segment to be amplified.
A pair of synthetic oligonucleotide primers, which specifically anneal to the
5’ and 3’ ends of the target DNA segment.
The four deoxynucleoside triphosphates, dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP (dNTPs).
A heat-stable DNA polymerase, such as the Taq polymerase.
