Transformation
I. Terms and Discovery
Natural vs. Induced Transformation
Competence, Donor, Recipient, Transformant
Discovery- the Griffith Experiment
II. Competence (in B. subtilis)
Regulation
comP, comA
Pheromones
comX, comQ
Timing
Linear DNA Only (so plasmids don't get into naturally competent cells)
III. DNA Uptake
Species specific vs non specific uptake (depends upon the bacteria)
Mechanism of uptake
Double stranded DNA binds
Degraded into single stranded DNA when/soon after it enters the cell
Recombination with homologous sequences
transformasomes
IV. Why take up foreign DNA?
Nutrition?
Repair?
Advantages to Sexual Reproduction?
V. Induced Competence
Calcium/Heat Shock Induction
Electroporation
Induced Competence allows uptake of Double Stranded DNA
VI. Mapping/Gene Knockouts/Recombination
Using competence as a tool
