When doing genetic engineering to take a gene from a human cell and put it into a bacteria, what would the new plasmid need to contain to be functional in the bacterial population and make the protein? List as many as are necessary?
The plasmid should have a origin of replication,
Multiple cloning site or polylinker-This region contain many unique restriction sites and allow a gene to be conveniently inserted into the vector or removed from it.
A selectable marker -It allow the selection of positively transformed cells.
a reporter gene-It allow to identify successful clone
gene of interest in MCS region.
element of expression-It should contain promoter, ribosomal binding site (RBS),start codon,stop codon.
