Chapter 1. Chapter 20 Branched Tutorial: Restriction Mapping

1.1 Problem Statement

Restriction sites can be mapped by comparing DNA fragments produced by digestion with restriction enzymes used alone and in various combinations.

The experiment began with one sample of a linear 13,000-bp (13-kb) DNA fragment being cut with the restriction enzyme EcoRI; a second sample of the same DNA was cut with BamHI; and a third sample was cut with both EcoRI and BamHI together.

The figure at the right represents the separation of DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis.





Question

Provide the correct restriction map of the linear DNA fragment based on the results shown on the gel image by choosing the correct enzyme names and fragment sizes from the associated dropdown menus.

1.2 Problem Strategy

Question

Determine the best approach to solve this problem by ordering the following steps:
1. Examine the results shown on the gel and compare the single digests with the double digest.
2. Identify the question that is being asked and focus on key pieces of information.
3. Examine the results shown on the gel and analyze each lane independently by constructing a restriction map for each single digest.
4. Construct a restriction map based on the double digest.

Begin with the basic information and individual analyses and then build upon this information to solve the problem. The best approach is to analyze each single digest independently and then construct the restriction map of the double digest.

It is important to know the exact size of your starting DNA molecule. The fragments of each sample lane should total to the starting size of the DNA molecule. Remember, the size standard is not an “experimental sample” lane.

Restriction enzyme names are generally 3 italicized letters followed by a capital letter (normal font) and a Roman numeral.

More About Restriction Enzymes

Restriction enzymes identify specific nucleotide sequences in the DNA molecule. When the enzyme binds to the specific recognized site, it will cut the DNA molecule. You can find the nucleotide recognition sites for EcoRI and BamHI at New England BioLabs (just search for the enzyme names).

The restriction digest process occurs in a reaction tube and the resulting fragment sizes are mixed together and undetectable by the eye. The gel electrophoresis process separates the fragments and allows for visualization of the individual fragments so that a number and size determination can be made.

Since you are looking for the EcoRI fragment that would be cut, some combination of the double digest fragment sizes should total the size of one of the Eco fragments from the single digest.

These two fragments are additive when combined. They would add to the size of the EcoRI fragment.

1.6 Step 4: Solving the Problem

1. Draw a restriction map based on the third lane of the gel. Choose from the dropdown menus below to correctly label each restriction enzyme recognition site and fragment size.

Congratulations! You have correctly determined the positions of the EcoRI and BamHI restriction sites on the original 13-kb fragment. This knowledge and approach can be used in solving similar restriction mapping problems.
At least one of your answers is incorrect. Try answering the problem again. Be sure to check your map. You should be able to see the correct size of fragments for EcoRI alone, BamHI alone, and the double digest all represented in your restriction map. The total size of the entire fragment must equal 13 kb.
Incorrect.

Remember that there are EcoRI fragments which are not cut by BamHI. These fragment sizes should not contain a BamHI restriction site on your map. Begin your mapping by identifying the largest EcoRI generated fragment—remember, this fragment contains a BamHI site. Be sure that you are locating the 7 kb and 1 kb fragments generated by a BamHI enzyme next to each other on the map. Keep in mind that the total size of the fragments needs to be equal to the size of the initial DNA fragment before digestion.
