Mini prepped pCMV/myc/mito
Extracted BW25113 genome

July 2013

Week 1

August 2013

Week 1

Practice Gibson Assembly using known DNA and Gibson assembly mix
Extract MLS, Pef-1alpha, aceB and polyadenylation sequence using PCR

Week 2

Help Chloe do digestion check of pCMV-aceA
pCMV-aceA construct confirmed
Redo making Pef-1alpha-pSB1C3 construct
Create PMT construct for western blotting training
PMT construct made proceed with western blotting:

Week 3

Build construct for Pef-1alpha characterization
Pcmv – GFP, Pef-1alpha – GFP construct, Pcmv – mCherry, Pef-1alpha – mCherry constructs
Individual DNA was extracted using PCR
Assembled using Gibson Assembly

Week 4

Troubleshooting for Pef-1alpha characterization constructs
Use Gibson Assembly to make Pef-1alpha – pSB1C3 for submission

September 2013

Week 1

Give Pcmv-aceA to group 1 to transfect
Pef-1alpha – pSB1C3 constructed
Digestion checks and sequenced
Improvement of existing Biobrick: J176171 primer designs for J176171 to engineer with standard prefix in RFC10 and RFC25 formats
Found that J176171 are heat unstable and degrades after denaturation

Week 2

Receive transfected HEK293 cell from Group 1
Do western blotting with mouse anti c-myc antibody as primary antibody and anti-mouse HRP as secondary antibody
Western blotting showed that AceA is expressed in HEK293 cell in contrast to the negative control
Build construct for Pef-1alpha characterization: Pef-1alpha – GFP – polyadenylation sequence – pSB1C3
Improvement of existing Biobrick: J176171 primer designs to extract GFP with engineered complementary sequence of J176171

Week 3

Extract GFP in RFC10 and RFC25 format
Heat sensitivity test of J176171 at temperatures range from 40 to 50 degrees Celsius for Gibson Assembly
