However, for iGEM_67/68, iGEM_69/68 and iGEM_67/70, a slight band at approx. the bp of 2x expected was observed for 2 µl reaction (“product dimmers?”), this seemed to decrease with increasing primer amount. Hig iGEM_69/70 primer amounts seemed to interfere with PCR. The negative control only shows primer clouds at bottom of lanes. The optimal primer concentrations for the different PCR reactions seem to be:</span></p><p class="c0"><span>&nbsp;</span></p><a href="#" name="8deb70100d07cd4a7452989496c64c50d35053e5"></a><a href="#" name="8"></a><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="c21"><tbody><tr><td class="c52"><p class="c0 c2"><span class="c8">&nbsp;</span></p></td><td class="c44"><p class="c0 c2"><span class="c8">Primers</span></p></td><td class="c47"><p class="c0 c2"><span class="c8">Primer amount (1:20 dilution)</span></p></td></tr><tr><td class="c52"><p class="c0 c2"><span class="c8">Riboswitch with native Promoter and RBS</span></p></td><td class="c44"><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_69</span></p><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_70</span></p></td><td class="c47"><p class="c0 c2"><span>2 µl</span></p></td></tr><tr><td class="c52"><p class="c0 c2"><span class="c8">Riboswitch with native Promoter</span></p></td><td class="c44"><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_69</span></p><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_68</span></p></td><td class="c47"><p class="c0 c2"><span>4 µl</span></p></td></tr><tr><td class="c52"><p class="c0 c2"><span class="c8">Riboswitch only</span></p></td><td class="c44"><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_67</span></p><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_68</span></p></td><td class="c47"><p class="c0 c2"><span>4 µl</span></p></td></tr><tr><td class="c52"><p class="c0 c2"><span class="c8">Riboswitch with native RBS</span></p></td><td class="c44"><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_70</span></p><p class="c0 c2"><span>iGEM_67</span></p></td><td class="c47"><p class="c0 c2"><span>4 µl</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="c0"><span>&nbsp;</span></p><p class="c0"><span class="c8">Primers for generating reverse terminator insert</span></p><p class="c0"><span>&nbsp;

Revision as of 11:14, 18 September 2013

August
08th

Preparation of CFP and YFP Samples from Katrins Miniprep yesterday for sequencing by SeqLab, First Round RD of the parts for new cloning strategy, Colony PCR for Trasnformations from 6.8.13, Transformation from 6.8.13, Primer design for DarRrev for DarR reporter system

Preparation of CFP and YFP Samples from Katrins Miniprep yesterday for sequencing by SeqLab

 Pipetted ~700ng of DNA + 0.25µl undiluted primer + Water to 7µl as follows:

 1: CFP C1 VF2

2: CFP C2 VR

3: YFP C2 VF2

4: YFP C1 VR

Gel doc of PCR from Katrin yesterday test PCR part7 C1

M/2/4/8/NC

bands are ok so PCR purification was performed

-> marked as rev. terminator (in to do box)

newly prepared competent cells from yesterday (XL1 Blue) are tested with a 1 ng/ µl pbluescript Trafo and a trafo with just water and one without (see journal above)

put to 37°C at 13:00

inoculation of GFP positive cells

inoculation of part 8 and part1 from cryo stocks

First Round RD of the parts for new cloning strategy

Parts 1-4: PstI FD

YFP, CFP and Part 8: EcoRI FD

 

Katrin Gunkas Überprotokoll:

                  1.5µg DNA

                  4µl Enzyme

                  4µl Buffer FD

                  xµl H2O

         =40µl reaction

-->incubation at 37°C for 1.5h

-->cleanup using the PCR cleanup kit, elution in 30+10µl (40 overall) prewarmed H2O

-->Nanodrop results on eppis (all around 30ng), about 1.2µg DNA retrieved in all samples (Which is highly unlikely and once again should make us think about nanodrop measurements)

Tomorrow 2nd round! Parts 1-4 with SpeI and the others with XbaI!

Transformation from 6.8.13

-   plates: no colonies on 50 µl-plates observed, but on rest-plates

-  Neg. control plates: no colonies

-  w/o DarR insert plate: few colonies

-  w/o Riboswitch insert plate: few colonies

-  w/o Promoter3operator insert plate: few colonies

-  Promoter3operator + pSB1C3: few colonies

-  Riboswitch 40/41 + pSB1C3: several colonies

-  Riboswitch 40/43 + pSB1C3: several colonies

-  Riboswitch 41/42 + pSB1C3: several colonies

-  Riboswitch 42/43 + pSB1C3: many colonies

-  DarR + pSB1C3: many colonies

-  Promoter3operator + part 6: some colonies --> see above (fluorescence microscopy)

-  Plates stored in big fridge at 4 °C

 

Colony PCR for Trasnformations from 6.8.13

-  according to protocol from ….; preparation of MasterMix for 55 reactions --> 25 µl

-  PCR tube Colour/Number coding of clones:

o   w/o DarR insert plate: 1 colony picked (A; white)

o   w/o Riboswitch insert plate: 1 colony picked (B; white)

o   w/o Promoter3operator insert plate: 1 colony picked (C; white)

o   Promoter3operator + pSB1C3: 4 colonies picked (1, 2, 3, 4; yellow)

o   Riboswitch 40/41 + pSB1C3: 8 colonies (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12; orange)

o   Riboswitch 40/43 + pSB1C3: 9 colonies (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21; pink)

o   Riboswitch 41/42 + pSB1C3: 7 colonies (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28; violet)

o   Riboswitch 42/43 + pSB1C3: 10 colonies (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38; blue)

o  DarR + pSB1C3: 10 colonies, but only first 8 inoculated for MiniPrep (not enough medium prepared for 48 and 47); (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48; green)

-  PCR taken out, addition of 5 µl 5xLD to each reaction; reactions stored at 4 °C ON --> gel run tomorrow

-  Inoculation of clones 48 and 47 in 4 ml LBCm and incubation ON at 37 °C, ca. 200 - 210 rpm

Primer design for DarRrev for DarR reporter system

-  Sequence of DarR fwd primer + suffix with overhang

-  Sequence of DarR rev primer + prefix with overhang

-> Ordered by Katrin G.

Gel run: Riboswitch Test PCR and Test RD of plasmids from YFP and CFP clones

-   1.5 % Agarose-1xTAE gel

-   4 µl PCR reaction + 1 µl 5x DNA Loading Dye

-   5 µl of Test RDs; 1 µl uncut plasmid + 1 µl 5x DNA Loading Dye + 3 µl dH₂O

-   3 µl 2 log ladder

-   Run at ca. 100 V in 1xTAE buffer

-   Staining in EtBr and destaining in water

-    UV detection

-> RD: Expected band ca. 750 bp + ca. 2 kb for all digests. The expected bands were obtained for all RDs --> all clones contain plasmids --> prepare the plasmids for sequencing by G2L

-> PCR: for expected products: add ca. 2x 20 bp to sizes indicated above. The expected bands were obtained. However, for iGEM_67/68, iGEM_69/68 and iGEM_67/70, a slight band at approx. the bp of 2x expected was observed for 2 µl reaction (“product dimmers?”), this seemed to decrease with increasing primer amount. Hig iGEM_69/70 primer amounts seemed to interfere with PCR. The negative control only shows primer clouds at bottom of lanes. The optimal primer concentrations for the different PCR reactions seem to be:

-> EcoRI-linearzied pBluescript seems to be pure. Still, shortly below the linearized-plasmid-band, some additional weak bands were seen --> possibly unspecific side products? But the strong band of the supercoil-plasmid is gone --> further digest with PstI

-> For DarR insert, an additional band at 0.1 kb was obtained --> polyA’s that were cut off by the enzymes??? Or a non-specific side product from PCR? --> if this fragment can be cloned, we will notice it when the transformants are tested in Colony PCR…

Digest of pBluescript-EcoRI with PstI

Ca. 33 µl pBluescript left

-> Addition of 4 µl FD buffer and 4 µl PstI FD; incubation for 1 h at 37 °C

Design of oligos for self-hybridization

-> These oligos contain the reverse complement sequence of the parts indicated below, since they are designed for reverse integration into pSB1C3 (DarR transcription unit)

-> Oligos hybridization leads to EcoRI and SpeI overhangs

-  For strong RBS (part 8)

-  For promoters parts 1,2,3,4 (an additional sequence of ca. 60 bp (reverse translation of “cyclicdiampacterim”) was added in front of the promoter so that binding of RNA-Pol does not interfere with binding of RNA-Pol to promoter of GFP transcription unit)
