Henrike, Julia, Gosia, Kristian

Procedure


USER reaction and transformation

We perform USER reaction, samples are as follows:

  • plasmid pZA21 and AMO
  • plasmid pZA21 and HAO
  • negative control with water instead of insert

Reaction is performed in the same way as on 18-07-2013 with increased amount of insert (up to 14 uL due to low DNA concentration).

With the same procedure we also preformed a USER reaction with pZA21::RFP PCR-amplified with no promoter and araBAD from BBa_K808000.

Restriction analysis

From last week transformants with AMO and HAO in pZA21 we performed plasmid isolation.

We perform restriction analysis with EcoRI. Expected fragments are as follows:

  • For pZA21 with AMO:

3309 pz, 2283 pz

  • For pZA21 with HAO:

2233 pz, 2124 pz, 930 pz

Primer diluting

PCR to extract Nir from Pseudosomonas with new USER primers

Tubes have 4 labels (pZA21 only has 3), in vertical order:

  • 'Nir' or 'pZ', tells which product is being made
  • '1' - part 1 of Nir OR '2' - part 2 of Nir OR 'w' - whole Nir (on the pZ tubes 1 and 2 are just duplicates)
  • '5' - used 5uL of N.europeae culture as template OR '10' - used 10uL of N.europeae culture as template
  • 'ex' - extraction PCR, using the new non-USER primers that Jakob made OR 'U' - using the new USER primers that Jakob made

two programs:

all extraction PCRs and part 2 of Nir with USER primers - 54C, 5:00

part 1 of Nir with USER primers and pZA21 for ligation with Nir - 50C, 5:00

PCR with USER-primers on HAO and AMO

Standard USER-PCR was made with the HAO and AMO templates purified earlier today. The reactions where done in duplicates and with 2 different concentrations:

  • HAO 5 is with 5uL template
  • HAO 10 is with 10uL template
  • AMO 5 is with 5uL template
  • AMO 10 is with 10uL template

All tubes where run with 52C annealing temperature and 3 min extension time.

Results

first gel

decided to purify RFP in pZA21 without promoter as well as HAO, AMO and cycAX

purification gel

loaded the complete PCR reaction (~45 uL), cut out the bands of our products and used QIAgen gel extraction kit

  • 1: 1 kb ladder
  • 2: HAO
  • 3: AMO
  • 4: cycAX
  • 5: RPF in pZA21 without promoter
  • 6: RPF in pZA21 without promoter
  • 7: RPF in pZA21 without promoter

Conclusion: We only get one band for each plasmid, so the inserts are not present.
