Transformation of pGP172 + cdaA (L. monocytogenes) and pGP172 + DAC domain (L. monocytogenes)
Protocol:
- thaw 200 μl of competent E. coli cells on ice
- add ligation mixture to the cells and mix carefully
- incubate the transformation mixture for 30 min on ice
- transfer the samples for 90 sec to 42°C (heat shock)
- replace samples for 5 min to ice and ad 800 μl liquid LB medium incubate transformation mixture for 1 h at 37°C and agitation
-add 100 μl of the mixure onto LB Amp100 media plates
- centrifuge the samples for 1 min at 13,000 rpm, discard the upper supernatant ans resuspend cells in the remaining 100 μl
-plate concentrated cells as well on LB Amp100 medium plates
- incubate plates overnight at 37°C - store plates afterwards at 4°C

Prepare of agar plates.
Transformation of GP 991 with chrom. DNA. (cdaA::cat)
Creation of Agar plates
- Inoculation of 2 x 250 ml CSE – Glc medium with the over night culture to an OD600 = 0.1
-
Harvest
at OD600 = 1 (takes about 4 hours)
(centrifuge for 10 min at 5000 rpm)
- Keep the supernatant (contains c-di-AMP)
-
1 x
250 ml
cook for 30 min on Bunsen burner in falcon tubes, centrifuge,
subsequent sterile filtration
-
1 x
250 ml
sterile filtration
-
Adding
of 25 ml supernatant and 25 ml 2 x LB into a 50 ml Falcon
(4 Falcons for the cooked and filtrated medium; 4 Falcons for the filtrated
medium)
-
Start
by preparing each Falcon with 25 ml of the appropriate supernatant and the
appropriate antibiotics
(in this case we need E/L, tet and cat; keep in mind
that you need to supply your supernatant with 2 x antibiotic, because it gets
diluted with LB later)
-
Now
add 25 ml 2 x LB to each falcon. Mix the complete medium quickly and poor the
plates!
(50 ml medium is needed to create 2 Agar Plates)
- There should be 6 plates containing the cooked and filtrated supernatant and 6 plates containing only the filtrated supernatant (and 2 extra plates each)
-
Furthermore,
prepare 2 plates, which contain no supernatant.
these plates will be needed for the pos. and neg. control
Transformation of GP 991 with chrom. DNA (cdaA::cat)
- Inoculation of MNGE Medium (+ antibiotics) with the over night culture of GP 991 to an OD600 = 0.1
- Proceeded according to protocol of the AG Stülke
o Pos. control: another cat resistance cassette (BP121)
o Neg. control: H2O
o Actual experiment: GP 991 + GP 997

For the undigested plasmid could be several bands detetced that represent the different states of the plasmid: linear, circular and super coiled. For the only BamHI digested plamid could be several bands but one main band be detected and for the double digested plasmid could be one band detecetd.
→ BamHI shows high activity, therefore the samples should be digested for 30 min
→ If you have a circular plasmid and need a BamHI and a SacI digestion, you should start with SacI to get a linear plasmid, then heat inactivate the enzyme and continue then with the BamHI digestion. This order is very important, because BamHI tends to cut non-specific regions in circular plasmids.
→ The gel piece for the band of the double digestes pGP172 was excised and the plasmid extracted and purified by adding the 3x volume of QG buffer and following the Quiagen PCR purification kit according to the manufacturer's protocoll.
→ The concentration was measured by NanoDrop: 17.8 ng/μl
