Week 1

This week the project DelRest was launched. In order to clone the Delftibactin cluster from D. Acidovorans into E.coli we decided to use Gibson cloning. Therefore Gibson primers were designed to amplify our target backbone pSB4K5 with an overlap to DelA. Furthermore the Gibson primer connecting DelOP and DelAG introduces the ribosome binding site BBa_BNILS. Accordingly the Gibson primer for joining DelL with DelOP includes the ribosome binding site BBa_BNILS. The very last gibson primer used to amplify DelL consequently has an overlap to the beginning of the mRFP reporter gene connected to pSB4K5. Check out our vectormap if you are curious about the detailed primer design. The goal of this week was to amplify our previously assembled backbone with the intended overlaps as well as the desired genes from our host organism D. Acidovorans .

At the beginning of the week, we could verify that the Gibson Assembly for Tripeptide I was indeed positive, however, the other Gibson Assemblies did not work properly. Instead of picking new colonies, we decided to optimize the Gibson recipe instead, as backbone religations were the most common problem. With these improved protocols, we used Gibson Assembly for the Dipeptide, Tripeptide II and Tetrapeptide I, later that week, Tetrapeptide II followed. After the Transformation to DH10β cells and screening by restriction digest we could send samples for the Dipeptide and Tetrapeptide I to sequencing and obtained a positive alignment. Hence we transformed BAP I cells with the positive constructs. The same was...

Results:

Amplification of DelAF did not work as no product appeared, therefore conditions of PCR have to be optimized
PCR will be repeated with a higher annealing temperature as primers might not have bound due to secondary structes
PCR will be repeated with lower annealing temperatue as primers might not have bound due to high temperatures

Results:

Amplification of DelAF from the new strain finally worked, both conditions (65°C constant and 65°C touchdown) led to specific product but the touchdown PCR resulted in a smear
bands were cut out and DNA purified using QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit
PCR will be repeated with a slightly lower temperature with constant annealing to increase yield but avoid the smear which appeared due to the low annealing temperatures used in the last cycles of the touchdown PCR.

The gradient PCR shows that amplification worked best with an annealing temperature of 72.3°C, interestingly this annealing temperature was used for the remaining mastermix of the gradient PCR which included more DMSO than the other samples as mixing of DMSO often is not perfect and therefore the very last sample is of higher DMSO concentration
Therefore PCR will be repeated with an annealing temperature of 72.3°C and 10% DMSO

Result:

None of the screened colonies led to the correct amplicon, therefore the correct assembly has not worked in any of the white colonies
screening will be repeated, with white colonies as template, as bacteria including the correct 32 kbp backbone might not be capable of expressing mRFP anymore due to the large insert between lac promotor and mRFP

D8w will be transfered to liquid culture to repeat screening PCR as well as for further validation beeing screening for the other insert fragments as well as test restriction digest
Furthermore another electorporation will be carried out to yield more clones positive for screening with the Primers VR and FS_14, therefore the remaining 10µl of the Gibson assembly will be purified using isopropanol precipitation

Electroporation

We electroporated the Gibson assembly (15-08) again to increase the chance of a positive clone. We purified it by isopropanol purification.

Results:

The screening was positive for clone D8w with both primer combinations.
Thus this clone contains the backbone pSB4K5, the genes DelA, DelB, DelC, DelD, DelE, DelF, DelL and at least a part of the gene DelG.
For colony F26w the screenings were negativ.

Sequencing

The construct pFSN was isolated from overnight culture using the 'Preparation of large plasmids' protocol.
Single read sequencing was carried out by GATC Biotech
obtained .abi files were analyzed with UniPro Ugene, part of sequence showing convenient chromatogram was chosen for alignment using ClustalOmega

Sequencing of pFSN-1 with Primer FS_13_short

Sequencing of pFSN-1 with Primer FS_22

Sequencing of pFSN-1 with Primer VFII

Sequencing of pFSN-1 with Primer VR

Alignments

Alignment for sequencing of pFSN with primer FS_13s_rv against the expected construct to validate sequence of DelOP	Alignement for sequencing of pFSN with primer FS_57_rv against the expected construct to validate the sequence for the overlap of DelOP to DelG	Alignement for sequencing of pFSN with primer FS_58_fw against the expected construct to validate the sequence for the overlap of DelOP to DelL	Alignement for sequencing of pFSN with primer FS_63_rv against the expected construct to validate the sequence for the overlap of DelL to mRFP
Alignement for sequencing of pFSN with primer VF2 against the expected construct to validate the sequence for the overlap of pSB4K5 to DelAF

Results:

Sequencing of the final construct pFSN for all internal Gibson sites validated the intended sequence
Sequence of mRFP shows mutations within the primer site, therefore it can be concluded that mRFP is not functional
Colonies of D8w will be further analyzed by FACs to investigate whether mRFP is functional or not
Additionaly, SDS-page of clone D8w will be conducted to check for expression of the inserted Del genes
Concluding the results of colony PCRs, restriction digests and sequencing it can be concluded, that we successfully amplified 28 kbp of genomic DNA from our donator organism Delftia acidovorans SPH-1 distributed from the DSMZ, ligated the thereby obtained 6 fragments including the standard biobrick backbone pSB4K5 sucessfully in the intended order and consequently transformed a plasmid of 32 kbp in total into E. Coli using electroporation

Another 8 ml of colony D8w (pFSN-1) were midi-preped according to protocol 'Preparation of large plasmids'.
