Generation of pSB6A1

Miniprep

  • Grow pSB6A1 from glycerol stock in 2 ml LB Amp ON at 37°C.
  • Miniprep using miniprep kit from Qiagen and dilute in 30 µl ddH2O.

Result

Concentration 69.5 ng/µl

Digest

  • The pSB6A1 was generated from the parts registry and cut with EcoRI & PstI
Template DNA BSA NEBuffer2 Enzymes ddH2O Total amount
15 µl (69.5 ng/µl) 5 µl 5 µl 2x 1.5 µl EcoRI-HF & PstI 22 µl 50 µl
The digest was incubated 45 min at 37°C.

Result

Expected band: 3985 bp (pSB6A1) and at 1106 bp (insert=J04450)

l1:2-log ladder, l2-3:digested pSB6A1
expected band at 4 Kb was cut out
=> Expected bands are present. Backbone pSB6A1 was cut out and gel purified (c=4 ng/µl).

Generation of AraC Fragment

Gel Extraction

Gel extraction was performed with the gel extraction kit from Qiagen of gel slice (cut 24-05) and was eluted in 30 µl.

Result

The measured concentrations are shown in the table below and was stored at -20°C.

Sample Concentration [ng/µl]
AraC 22.5

Generation of lacZ Fragment

Gel Extraction

Gel extraction was performed with the gel extraction kit from Qiagen of gel slice (cut 24-05) and was eluted in 30 µl.

Result

The measured concentrations are shown in the table below and was stored at -20°C.

Sample Concentration [ng/µl]
lacZ 42.5

Generation of Backbone pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ

Ligation of pSB6A1 with AraC-lacZ

A ligation was performed of fragments for 1 h at RT.

Sample Concentration [ng/µl] Amount for ligation [µl]
pSB6A1 4 12.5
AraC-lacZ 22.5 3.5
T4-ligase - 1
Buffer - 2
ddH2O - 1
Final volume - 20
  • The ligase was inactivated by heat shock for 5 min at 70°C.

Transformation

  • Afterwards, a transformation was performed with 15 µl of the ligation reaction in competent TOP10.
  • Cells were streaked on LB Amp plates and incubated ON at 37°C.

Induction

  • The following day, 5 white colonies were picked (because the red ones still have the mRFP insert J04450) and were incubated in 2 ml LB Amp with 20 µl Arabinose (10%) and 100 µl X-Gal (20 ng/µl).

Result

2 of the colonies turned blue

=> Perform miniprep.

Miniprep

Miniprep was performed according to Qiagen's instructions.

Result

Sample Concentration [ng/µl]
pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ 99
