Question:
You are going to clone a part of this small DNA insert into a plasmid by cutting out the insert with SexAI restriction enzyme, opening up the plasmid with SexAI, and then ligating the two pieces together. Given the sequances of the insert and part of the plasmid (below), show where the SexAI sites are in both sequances and then write the sequence of the part of the plasmid including the insert once the pieces have been ligated. Indicate the insert, the plasmid, and the SexAI sites on the new sequance.
Insert: 5' CGATACCTGGTGATTGTAAGCCACC... 3'
Plasmind: 5' GTAATGCCATTCACCTGGTTTAGGC... 3'
What I know:
I know that the SexAI enzyme cuts at:
5'ACCWGGT 3'
3'TGGWCCA 5'
However, W is replaced with T 5-3' and with A from 3-5' here!!!
5'ACCTGGT 5'
3'TGGACCA 3'
It cuts as fallowing:
Insert: 5' CGATA || CCTGGTGATTGTAAGCCA || CCTGGTTAACG 3'
Plasmind: 5' GTAATGCCATTCA || CCTGGTTTAGGCATGATCT
NOW??
I am stuck here and I don't know what else to do. Please Help!!!
