=> pSB1C3-AraC(6)-lacZ is not desired construct. Pick new colony and test digest.

Miniprep

A new colony was picked from pSB1C3-AraC(6)-lacZ plate and a mini prep was performed.

Result

pSB1C3-AraC(6)-lacZ construct : 203 [ng/µl]

l1:2log ladder, l2: digested pSB1C3-AraC-lacZ, l3: digested pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ

Gel showed again the three bands (2070 and 3360 and ~4 Kb).

=> pSB1C3-AraC(6)-lacZ is not desired construct. Start assembly all over again.

Test Restriction Digest pSB6A1-J04450

pSB6A1-J04450 was test digested to check for identity.

Reagent Amount [µl]
pSB6A1-J04450 10
Enzymes 1.5 KpnI
Buffer NEB 3 (10x) 5
BSA (10x) 5
ddH2O 28.5
Expected band 5,091 bp - Linearized
Reagent Amount [µl]

Enzymes 1.5 KpnI & 1.5 BamHI
Buffer NEB 3 (10x) 5
BSA (10x) 5
ddH2O 27
Expected bands 4,906 bp & 530 bp

Result

Fig.4.4 BB pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ test digested (loaded 50 µL)
l1:2log ladder, l2: pSB13-AraC-lacZ (8), l3: pSB6A1, l4-6: pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ digested with BpsI, l7:2log ladder, l8: pSB13-AraC-lacZ (8), l9: pSB6A1, l10-12: pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ digested with BpsI & BamHI
Sample Expected bands with KpnI Bands on gel with KpnI Expected bands with KpnI & BamHI Bands on gel with KpnI & BamHI
pSB1C3-AraC-lacZ 5.436 Kb (linerized) 10 Kb 4.906 Kb & 530 Kb no band
pSB6A1-J04450 5.091 Kb (linearized) no band 5.091 Kb (linearized) no band
pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ (8, 9, 10) 7.388 Kb (linearized) 6 Kb & 10 Kb 4.607 Kb & 2.781 Kb 6Kb & 10 Kb


This means:

  • The chloramphenicol backbone has the right length.
  • The digested chloramphenicol backbone is also ok.
  • The digested fragment pSB6A1-AraC-lacZ (with PstI & EcoRI-HF) showed the 2 expected bands at 2,070 bp and 3,360 bp, but another band around ~4 Kb.
=> Something is not ok with this ligated construct and we have to start all over again.
