Transformation (Standard Protocol) into TOP10

2 plates per Ligation one with less one with more transformed cells.

Picking & Screening I

picked red clones Picked 3 clones per plate= 6 clones per construct

Colony PCR with Amplification Primers

Phusion Flash Colony PCR (see amplification protocols above)

Result NO Product?!

Screening Colony PCR with VR_rv and VF2_fw

iTaq Colony PCR Result NO Product?!

Picking & Screening II

NEGATIVE RESULTS BEFORE BECAUSE: mrfp was replaced by insert thus the positive colonies are WHITE!!! Picked white colonies

Screening PCR

Screened all picked colonies of one fragment: positive Screened one clone per fragment: positive



Tyrocidine-Indigoidine-Fusion - Standardization of Constructs

So far, the Tyrocidine-Indigoidine-fusion constructs had two illegal cutting sites of RFC-10 restriction enzymes. Hence, we tried a CPEC-approach for which we reamplified a fragment from the vector with primers that introduced a mutation at the desired position.

CPEC

After gel-extraction of the large fragment, the following procedure was followed:

  • 22µl H2O, 20µl of the large fragment, 2µl of the short fragment, 1µl DpnI and 5µl 10x CutSmart buffer were incubated for 2 hours at 37°C
  • Mixture was purified with isoprop, washed with ethanol and eluted in 10µl H2O
  • 10µl Phuson Flash Master Mix was added and the followin protocol was run:
Cycles temperature [°C] Time [min:s]
1 98 0:10
5 98 0:01
53 0:05

Unfortunately the efficiency of this was not high enough, as no colonies were visible on the plates after heat-shock transformation in BAP-I cells. The Amplification and CPEC will be repeated next week.
