Gibson assembly

Pipetting scheme:

to each symple 1 µl water was added

For pIG3005 and pIG3007 I used only the half amount of DNA as otherwise the total volume would have been higher than 5 µl.

Gibson assembly was performed by the following protocol:
  1. 5 µl of DNA mixes were added to 15 µl of Gibson master mix, each.
  2. Incubation for 1 h at 50°C
  3. Incubation for 3 min at RT
  4. Incubation for 10 min on ice

Trafo

  1. 4 µl of each assemblies were added to 25 µl of chemically competent E. coli cells
  2. incubation for 13 min on ice
  3. heatshock (42 °C for 45 s)
  4. incubation for 2 min on ice
  5. addition of 500 µl LB medium
  6. incubation for 15 min at 37 °C (shaking)
  7. 20 µl, 200 µl and 300 µl (concentrated) were distributed on agar plates with ampicilline
  8. incubation over night at 37 °C

07.05.2013

Trafo repeat

As there were very few colonies only on the 300 µl plates which were surrounded by "satellite colonies", transformation was repeated by using the same protocol exept of:
  • The first incubation at 37°C was 1:15 h.
  • Only 300 µl (not concentrated) were distributed.
  • Over night incubation lasted only 16 h.

08.05.2013

Picking of clones

Colonies from plates pIG3001-8 (exept of pIG3006, because there were no colonies) of trafo repeat were spread on new agar plates.
Colonies of the first gibson trafo hopefully containing pIG3003,5,6 were spread on new plates to get single colonies.

09.05.2013

Picking of clones

Single colonies of the first gibson trafo were spread on new agar plates.

4-OHT treatment

4-OHT was diluted in DMEM complete to a final concentration of 0.1, 1 and 10 µM; EtOH was diluted in DMEM complete to a final concentration of 0.1 and 1 % (which is the same amount as in the medium with 4-OHT, as 4-OHT is dissolved in EtOH).

The old medium was removed from the cells and the new mixed media were added according to the transfection scheme.

Cell fixation

After 0.5, 1 and 3 h (according to the transfection scheme) cells on each well were washed with 500 µl PBS and fixed with 200 µl PFA (4 %) solution by incubating for 10 min on ice and at least 20 min at RT.
Cells attached on cover slides were stained with DAPI and DRAQ5 (incubation in DAPI or DRAQ5 solution consisting of 1 µl DAPI or DRAQ5 in 5 ml dH2O for 5 s, respectively) and rinsed in dH2O. Cover slides were dried and mounted on a drop of Mowiol solution (with DABCO) with cells down. After a drying step at 37 °C for 15 min samples were sealed with nail polish and stored at 4 °C.

Microscopy

  • All samples showed red flourescence (except of pIG3006 & 8 treated with 10 µM 4-OHT, as there were almost no cells).
  • Treatment with 0.1 µM 4-OHT did not cause a difference to treatment with EtOH.
  • Treatment with 1 µM 4-OHT seemed to increase nuclear import for pIG3006 & 8.
  • pIG3006 is always localized in the nucleus.
  • By cell shape concentrations of 4-OHT lower than 10 µM does not seem to harm HeLa cells.

10.06.2013

Midiprep of pIG3009

As experimental results indicate, that the 5' NLS has a maybe stronger influence on nuclear import than the 3' NLS, the wrong assembled plasmid with the insert HA-ERT2-NLS-Cas9-mCherry (:= pIG3009) was amplified and midiprepped according to the manual of Jetstar Plasmid Purification MIDI Kit

31 h after transfection the old medium was removed from the cells and the new mixed media were added according to the transfection scheme.

Cell fixation

After 3 and 16 h (according to the transfection scheme) cells on each well were washed with 500 µl PBS and fixed with 200 µl PFA (4 %) solution by incubating for 10 min on ice and at least 20 min at RT.
Cells attached on cover slides were stained with DAPI and DRAQ5 (incubation in DAPI or DRAQ5 solution consisting of 1 µl DAPI or DRAQ5 in 5 ml dH2O for 5 s, respectively) and rinsed in dH2O. Cover slides were dried and mounted on a drop of Mowiol solution (with DABCO) with cells down. After a drying step at 37 °C for 15 min samples were sealed with nail polish and stored at 4 °C.

13.06.2013

Toxity assay for 4-OHT

Untransfected HeLa cells were treated for one day with 4-OHT, EtOH (different concentrations, each) or no addition. Supernatant was removed and a washing step with 0.5 ml PBS was performed. The cells in the supernatant and PBS were counted with CASY counter. The number of dead cells was calculated by multiplying the number of living cell with (100 - percentage of living cells) / 100.

Confocal fluorescence microscopy

Pictures were taken of all different constructs by a confocal fluorescence microscope. The ration of the mean nuclear to cytoplasmic red flourescence was determined by ImageJ.

Antibody treatment

Membranes were incubated for 1 h in blocking buffer (PBS with 3 % milk powder), then for 2.5 h with anti HA mouse (1:1000 in blocking buffer). After 3 times washing for 5 min with PBS-T (PBS with 0.05 % Tween 20) membranes were incubated for 1 h with anti mouse HRP (1:5000 in blocking buffer) and washed again 3 times for 5 min with PBS-T.
Imaging was performed with automatically determined exposure time after addition of ECL I (250 mM luminol; 90 mM coumaric acid; 1 M Tris pH=8.5) + ECL II (30 % hydrogen peroxide; 1 M Tris pH=8.5) solution (500 μl of each).

Pictures of western blot of nuclear (A) and cytoplasmic (B) cell fraction.

Arrows indicate most probably the fusion proteins; other bands are unspecific AB-bindings or (N-terminal) fusion protein fragments.
Only the controls are detectable and act as expected.


These data suggest that altering the subcellular localization of a Cas9 fusion protein upon a 4-OHT stimulus is not possible. Because of this it ought to be tested, if the functionality of Cas9 can be controlled by hormone induction. Thus, in a new experiment a SEAP plasmid should be targeted.

In pIG3012 there is most probably no insert, for pIG3011, too, because there is no difference to pIG3010 (plasmid without insert -> band at about 0.2 kb should be 10 bp shorter).

Sequencing

pIG3011-65 (1:6 ligation, colony 5) and pIG3012-61 (1:6 ligation, colony 1) were sequenced with oIG0015.

Both sequencings indicate that the sequenced plasmids are pIG3010. Thus, the BbsI digest did not work.

pIG3011_1 and pIG3012_2 were already sequenced and contain no insert. pIG3011_2 & 3 do not really differ from pIG3011_1, pIG3012_2 show 4 bands, 3 of them at the expeced size.

Sequencing

pIG3011_3 and pIG3012_2 were sequenced with oIG0015. Unfortunately they turned out to be undigested pIG3010.

2nd repeat of opening pIG3010

As test digestions and sequencing of the days before suggests that BbsI did not digest properly a new batch of pIG3010 was digested using BbsI and incubated overnight to avoid closed plasmid.

Nevertheless, sample pIG3011_3 and pIG3012_2 were sent for sequencing.

Trafo of digested pIG3010

To test if there is still undigested plasmid in the sample of digested pIG3010, E. coli were transformed with 40 ng of this sample and - as a control - with 40 ng of undigested pIG3010.

  1. 40 ng of plasmid were added to 25 µl of chemically competent E. coli cells
  2. incubation for 10 min on ice

The plate with the digested pIG3010 contained half as much as the plate with the undigested pIG3010. Thus, the BbsI digest did not work properly. However it has to be considered that the bacteria are able to repare double strand breaks via non homologous end joining.

Seeding of cells for functioal test of ERT as catalytic inhibitor of CAS9.

As the plasmids are ready, HEK293T cells were be seeded in 24 wells with 65.000 cells each well. This will allow a functional test of possible inhibtory effects of Cas9:ERT. A quantitative SEAP essay should give answer to the question wether we can induce CRISPRi via Tamoxifen.Seeding was performed according to standard protocol.

Transfection

Protocol:
  1. 40 µl Opti-MEM + 1.5 µl PEI-solution were mixed in a 1.5 ml Eppi.
  2. 0.5 µg of the DNA of interest were prepaired in another Eppi .
  3. Addition of the DNA to former Eppi, vortexing for 15 s and incubation for 15 min at RT
  4. Solution was spread them drop-wise to the cells in the dish
Transfection scheme:

07.08.2013

Medium change

12 h after transfection DMEM complete was removed and replaced by 0.5 ml per well DMEM complete containing 1 µM 4-OHT or 0.1 % EtOH, respectively, according to the transfection scheme.

08.08.2013

Medium change

24 h later medium was changed again according to the transfection scheme, this time with a washing step (0.5 ml DPBS per well).

09.08.2013

SEAP measurement

The following was done 22 h after the last medium change (58 h after transfection) with technical triplicates.

  • 400 µl of cell supernatant were collected in Epis.
  • Incubation for 30 min at 65 °C.
  • Centrifugation for 1 min at 1250 g.
  • 100 µl of SEAP buffer were filled in the wells of a 96 well plate.
  • Addition of 80 µl supernatant to each well.
  • Addition of 20 µl pNPP (substrate).
  • 96 plate was immediately placed in the blade reader.

Spectroscopic measurement every minute for 150 times; wavelenght 405 nm.

Measurement was aborted, as the SEAP concentration was too high.

10.08.13

Repeat of SEAP measurement

Cell supernatant was diluted 1:10 with DMEM that was heated for 30 min at 65 °C and measurement was repeated.

The results indicate that also the functionality of the Cas9-ERT2 fusion protein is not controlable with hormone induction, as the SEAP expression is more or less the same for wells with and without 4-OHT.
