Del Rest. Creating a 32 kb plasmid.
Week 10
This week the project "DelRest" was launched, which aims at creating a single, 32 kb plasmid enabling the expression of most genes from the D. Acidovorans Del cluster, namely DelA-G and DelL-P (note: the 18 kbp gene encoding DelH is cloned onto a seperate plasmid). Due to the shere size and complexity of the DelRest construct, we decided to use Gibson cloning. This weeks goal was amplify the pSB4K5 backbone from the partsregistry with primers giving the intended overlaps as well as the desired genes from our host organism D. Acidovorans . Therefore, Gibson primers for the amplification of the target backbone pSB4K5 were designed, which also introduce a Gibson-overlap to DelA, the first gene present in the Del cluster. Furthermore Gibson primers for amplifying the fragments DelA-G and DelO-P were ordered. The last Gibson primer pair used to amplify DelL consequently carries the required overlap to the beginning of the mRFP reporter present the pSB4K5 insert part BBa_J04450. Check out our vectormap if you are curious about the detailed cloning strategy and primer design.
Week 11
During the past week we managed to amplify a fragment of 11 kbp encoding the genes DelA-F from genomic DNA of D. Acidovorans. We were further able to amplify the backbone fragment from pSB4K5 carrying the desired overlaps to the corresponding fragments to be amplified from the Del cluster. We also succeeded in the amplification of the very last gene in our construct, DelL. Unfortunately, the amplification of DelF-G and DelO-P turned out to be more difficult than expected. Since our initial plan, which required the amplification of DelO-P using a Gibson primer which introduces an overlap to DelL and furthermore introduces an artificial ribosom binding site did not work out, we changed our strategy. We orderd shorter versions of all our Gibson primers. Using these shorter primers not bearing any overlaps to other fragments, we will try to amplify the desired genes in order to obtain a specific template for the reamplification with the primers carrying the needed overlaps. Furthermore, we will optimize the PCR conditions for the amplification of the DelF-G fragment.
Week 12
By the end of last week we found out, that the short primers we had ordered did not improve amplification of the missing fragments from D. Acidovorans. Additionly, further analysis of the Delftibactin cluster, led to the discovery of a predicted promoter present in front of DelO-P potentially essential for DelO-P expression. Therefore, we not only decided to design new primers for the amplyfication of DelF-G, but also modifie the entire strategy concerning the DelO-P fragment. To ensure the expression of DelO-P in our target organism E.coli we decided to amplify DelO-P together with its putative promoter. In consequence, we ordered new primers for DelO-P and also for the last DelA-G fragment in order to introduce the required new overhang to the new DelO-P fragment. The correlating primers can be found in our new vector map.
Week 13
In the previous week, several of the newly ordered primer pairs improved our PCRs for DelO-P and DelF-G. However, results were not convincing enough to use these amplicons for Gibson assembly. Therefore, we spend this week optimizing the PCRs for the abovementioned fragments. In addition we validated the amplicon of DelG with restriction digest. Validation of the other PCR products did not succeed, mostly due to very low amount of DNA.
Week 14
We were still struggeling with getting the correct amplicons for the fragments encoding DelF-G as well as DelO-P. Furthermore, the restriction digests of the already successfully amplified fragments needed to be repeated using higher amounts of DNA, as results of the previous test digests were rather inconclusive. Furthermore, samples of these fragments were send for sequencing.
Week 15
Single read sequencing of the PCR amplified fragments DelA-E, DelL as well as the backbone pSB4K5 was carried out by GATC. We blasted the obtained seqeuences against the reference sequence based on the D. acidovorans SPH-1 strain available on NCBI. Although our sequence matched to the reference sequence, we found a significant number of missmatches, which was too diverse and high to be simply explained by random mutations introduced by our polymerase during PCR (note: we used a high-fidelity proofreading polymerase suitable for GC-rich templates and long amplicons). We thus hypothesized that the SPH-1 strain based on which our cloning strategy was designed might have a significant number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the Del cluster compared to the D. acidovorans DSM-39 strain, which we used as template for all PCRs (note: there is no complete genomic sequence available for the DSM-39 strain on NCBI). We further hypothesized, that this difference in sequence between the DSM-39 strain used as PCR template and the SPH-1 strain based on which our primers were designed could explain our troubles with the PCR amplifications of DelF-G and DelO-P. In consequence, we ordered the SPH-1 strain from the DSMZ in order to obtain a suitable template for our PCRs. This solved all our PCR problems right away and we were able to get all amplicons required for cloning the DelRest construct within this week. Furthermore, we successfully validated our amplicons by restriction digest and sequencing.
Week 16
Last week we successfully amplified all the fragments needed to complete the DelRest cloning. Therefore, we went ahaed and performed Gibson assembly in order to assembel the final pFSN plasmid carrying bearing the DelRest genes. The assembly mix was transformed into E. coli DH10beta electrocompetent cells. Screening PCRs showed that the assembly was successful, calling for futher validation of the clones.
Week 17
From colonies which were positive for screening last week, we rescued 3 plasmids. Test restriction digest were conducted and showed our clones to be correct.
Week 18
We send one of our DelRest constructs that showed the right restriction pattern in the test digest for sequencing. As it would be quite costly to sequence the whole 32 kb plasmid, we focused on the ligation sites between the different assembly fragments, which are most prone to insertion of errors. Although all insert fragments sequenced, including the ligation sites between DelA and DelF, DelO-P and DelL, were 100 % correct, we detected a mutation within the mRFP cds (note: we wanted to use mRFP in order to confirm expression from our DelRest plasmid). FACS analysis of E. coli bearing the DelRest construnct confirmed that mRFP expression was impaired, likely due to the corresponding mutation. However, as mRFP was only meant to be a general expression control on our construct, we did not start correcting out construct by mutagenesis. Instead, we started preparing samples for an SDS page in order to directly proof the expression of the Del genes by Coomassie staining.
Week 19
The Coomassie staining we carried out last week did not display all expected bands clearly. This occured most likely due to the low amount of protein loaded onto the corresponding SDS page. Therefore the SDS page was repeated. This expression analysis confirmed the results indicated by the previous SDS-page. We were able to show that DelE and DelG are expressed at a detectable level. As we could confirm the successful cloning and functioning of the DelRest expression plasmid named pFSN (for Florian-Sophie-Nils :)) the DelRest subproject was succssfully completed and the personal resources of the DelRest group were shifted to the DelH group as well as the wiki.
Strategy
In order to transfer the delftibactin NRPS cluster from D. acidovorans in E. coli for efficient production of delftibactin, we designed the plasmid pFSN. It comprises the above listed genes as inserts. Furthermore, it includes an IPTG-inducible promoter, an origin of replication, compatible to those of the plasmids pDelH and pIK8.6 (required for delftibactin expression in E. coli) expression plasmids as well as a kanamycin resistance marker. The choice of the ori was critical, as three plasmids PFSN, pDelH and PIK8.6 would have to be cotransformed in order to obtain the final E. coli delftibactin production strain and all three plasmids needed to be stabely propagated.
Additionally, mRFP was added as last cds behind the DelRest genes onto the pFSN construct in oder to have an easy control for expression of the DelRest genes located in front of mRFP.
In the Delftibactin cluster the genes DelA, DelB, DelC, DelD, DelE, DelF and DelG are encoded as a single polycistronic operon. However, it is most likely not possible to amplify the entire coding sequence of DelA to DelG in one single PCR amplicon, as its corresponding size of 22.8 kb in combination with the complex GC-rich sequence is most likely not suitable for commonly available polymerases and PCR protocols. Consequently, we will use various primer combinations to amplify the genes in different sub-fragments. These will be assemled again using Gibson cloning
DelO and DelP are encoded in reverse-complementary direction on the Delftibactin cluster. However, in our construct these two genes will be assembled in the same orientation as the other ones and thereby added to the DelA-G operon. As DelO and DelP are also located next to each other and they will therefor be amplified together as a single 2.7 kb amplicon
DelL is the somehow lonesome rider, not surrounded by any of our desired del genes and will thus also be amplified seperately (fragment size 1.4 kb).
As complications are most likely to occure for the very long PCR amplicons, we will start with the huge DelA-G region and optimize PCR conditions for the corresponding amplicons.
We decided to use the DSM-39 substrain of Delftia acidovorans as our genomic template since our reference paper from Johnston et al. (2013) showed the gold precipitation expreiments using this substrain. The only full-length genomic sequence available for D. acidovorans is, however, the SPH-1 substrain sequence. Nevertheless, as the abovementioned paper also based their analysis on the SPH-1 strain sequence, we also based our primer designs on the available SPH-1 substrain genomic sequence, hoping the Del cluster sequence would be highly conserved among different D. acidovorans strains.

Amplification of Del Genes from DSM-39 genome
Goals
This week primers FS_01 to FS_16 arrived. As the aim of this week is to amplify the backbone pSB4K5 with Gibson overlaps matching our initial and very last insert fragment, we will firstly use the pSB4K5 backbone including the mRFP cassette as template for this purpose. Furthermore amplification of the desired genes from the Del-cluster of D.acidovorans DSM-39 will be carried out in parallel.

Strategy
We had various problems with the amplification of the fragments located in theregion DelF-G and DelO-P. For these particular PCRs long primers containing the Gibson overlaps had to be used. As these long primers often form complex secondary structures decreasing annealing efficiency we designed short version of these primers, having the same sequence region complementary to the genomic target, but lacking any longer overhangs. Consequently these primesrs will serve only for amplification of the desired genes from the genome of D. Acidovorans to obtain specific templates. This specific template afterwards will be used to introduce the designated overlap using the long primers again. In total 3 short primer versions FS_11s, FS_13s and FS_15s were ordered.

Amplification of Del Genes from DSM-39 genome
Goals
The PCRs which worked in the previous week will be repeated to obtain higher product yields, as high concentrations of the long amplicons are needed for a successfull Gibson Assembly.
Furthermore we will try to establish PCRs for the obtained short Primers and thereby provide specific templates for the second amplification step using the corresponding primers introducing the required Gibson overlaps.
Amplifications of the sequence region DelF-G will be tried with different protocols to optimize PCR conditions, as we did not obtain any amplicons at all last week. Therefore it is likely that these primers are only able to bind in a very small frame of annealing temperature or even that the used primer combination do not posses a common annealing temperature and therefore amplification with the desired combinations is not possible.
As the amplification of DelO-P also turned out to be difficult, we decided to try a backup strategy which not only includes the desired genes DelO and DelP but also DelL and, since they are located between DelP and DelL, DelM and DelN. These two genes would increase our amplicon size by only 2.2 kb, but we hoped that on the other hand the corresponding primers would work better.

Strategy
As we discovered that there is a predicted promoter located right in front of DelO, we decided to include this promotor into our construct. This should ensure that the genes DelO, DelP and DelL are still expressed in the case that there is a terminator by the end of DelG. For this we designed primer FS_22 which binds right at the predicted promoter. However, this also meant, that we had to change the reverse primer for the DelG fragment in order to enable Gibson assembly of these fragments next to each oterh. Furthermore we created new primers for amplifying DelE, DelF and DelG as we were not successful in amplifying these fragments so far. These primers now offer more potential fragment combinations which can be tested. We hope to get the missing fragments with this new strategy.

Amplification of Del Genes from D. acidovorans DSM-39 genome
Goals
This week we will try to amplify the sequence region of DelF-G with several combinations of primers including both, the intial primers and the recently ordered ones beeing FS_20, FS_21, FS_22, FS_23, FS_24 and FS_26. Furthermore we will continue opimtizing our protocol for the amplification of DelO-P. To evaluate whether the very weak bands on the corresponding agarose gels represent the intended amplicons, we decided to carry out re PCR and test restriction digests.

Amplification and purification of Del Genes from DSM-39
Goals
As our the amplifications of of the sequence region DelF-G did not progress last week, we decided to focus on this region in week 13. All combinations of initial and newly ordered primers will be tried with various PCR protocols. Furthermore, we tried to get higher amounts of the fragments for which protocols have already been established in order to have enough of each product to carry out suitable test restriction digests.

- The amplification of FS_21 to FS_07 led to several bands, but none of these was the intended product
- The amplfication of FS_20 to FS_07 also led to several bands, one band at the right height was observed. Consequently the specificity of the PCR will be increased by a higher annealing temperature

Amplification and purification of Del Genes from D. acidovorans DSM-39 genome
Goals
Our goal still remains to amplifiy the missing fragments from the Delftibactin cluster of D. Acidovorans. However, since we want to validate all fragments before we use them in a Gibson Assembly, and since last weeks restriction digests were either negative or inconclusive, these digests will be repeated.
By the end of this week we will dicuss the further procedure and decide whether we again need to change our cloning strategy or not. Additionally a nested PCR of the sequence region surrounding DelOP might still be an option to provide specific template suitable for a PCR with our intended Gibson primers.

Strategy
As already indicated last week, we decided to order another primer for the sequence region of DelF-G, beeing the primer FS_35_SR_01. This primer shows significantly better secondary structures and therefore annealing should be better. Furthermore we ordered various primers suitable for a nested PCR of DelOP.
Primer pairs, corresponding sequences and usage
| Identifier | Order date | Note | Sequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| FS_35: DelG_fw | 2013-08-05 | Amplification of DelG from Delftia acidovorans Gibson Primer | CATGCAGATCATCGTGGATGAATTC |
Cultivation of D. acidovorans substrain SPH-1
Single read sequencing of several PCR products obtained so far was carried out by GATC. We aligned the so obtained sequences to the SPH-1 reference genome. (6.8 Mbp, NCBI Genome). Our alignments revealed significant differences between the two D. acidovorans strains: DSM-39 which we used as PCR template and SPH-1 based on which we have designed all PCR primers. As result of this sequence analysis, the strain D. acidovorans SPH-1 was ordered in order to have a suitable template for the primers we already designed and ordered so far. We hoped, that haveing the right strain at hand now, our PCRs should work better and we could hopefully proceed with the Gibson assembly soon. Lyohilized D. Acidovorans SPH-1 cells obtained from DSMZ were reactivated with Reactivation_medium and cultivated in Acidovorax complex medium according to the recoomondations by the DSMZ. Subsequently, liquid culture were inocculated (for glycerol stocks) and bacteria were also spread onto ACM-agar plates. Then we repeated our PCRs either by doing colony-PCR from colonies on the ACM-agar plates or by using 1µL of glycerol stock as template.
Amplification of Del Genes from D. acidovorans SPH-1 genome
Goals
Since we wanted to ensure that our amplicons fit the intended sequence and avoid any mutations resulting from primer missmatches all PCRs were repeated (even the previously successful ones), now using D. Acidovorans SPH-1 as template. Established PCR protocols will be repeated with the new strain as template and adopted if necessary. For the DelF-G fragment with which we have had problems before, we will try whether PCRs work better with the new template or the recently ordered primer FS_35/SR_01. The amplification of DelO-P will be repeated with the intially ordered Primers FS_22 and FS_13 to test whether the changed template also improves these PCRs. If it turns out, that primers are still not able to bind to the intended template, the abovementioned nested PCR strategy will be conducted as primers FS_27 to FS_33 also arrived this week.

Strategy
Most PCRs have worked!! Yeah- finally!!! Thus, all the fragments needed for Gibson assembly are now available, however yields are still suboptimal for some of the fragments amplified. Furthermore, we designed screening primers for our final construct pFSN. These primers will be used to analyze our transformed bacteria for presence of the complete DelRest construct pFSN by colony-PCR.

Amplification and purification of Del Genes from SPH-1
Goals
As we were able to establish amplification protocols for most of our desired amplicons by the end of last week, we will repeat these PCRs to obtain the required amounts and concentrations. Furthermore we will optimize the PCR conditions of DelO-P by using higher annealing temperatures, hopefully inhibiting secondary structe formation of the primers. Afterwards we will assemble our construct, transform it into E.Coli DH10B and screen for (hopefully many) positive clones using the recently ordered screening primers.

- 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

There is a mutation at the beginning of the mRFP cassette. This explains why the colonies do not get red. All other tests for valiation were positive. Consequently colony D8w includes the right plasmid. Because we cannot use mRFP as expression control we will do SDS-PAGE instead to prove that the proteins are expressed.

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
21-08-2013
- Another 8 ml of colony D8w (pFSN-1) were midi-preped according to protocol 'Preparation of large plasmids'.
Validation of pFSN
This week we will analyze our positive D8w clone for expression of our pFSN plasmid. Therefore a SDS page will be carried out
Results
This week we carried out an SDS-PAGE with our clone D8w containing the pFSN plasmid. We used E.coli DH10ß as control. For our transformed E.coli a clear band at about 190 kDa was visible. This corresponds to the molecular weight of DelE (192,473 kDa). Consequently we showed that DelE is recombinantly expressed. Futhermore one could sense a very weak band at the height of about360 kDa. However this band could not be captured on an image. Consequently the samples have to be applied on a gel in a higher about again.

SDS-PAGE
Lysis of cells
- 1 ml over night cultures in LB of electrocompetent DH10ß, DH10ß with pSB4K5 and DH10ß with pFSN
- meausured ODs (DH10ß= 1,32; DH10ß+pSB4K5= 1,28; DH10ß+pFSN= 1,12)
- centrifugation at 13000 rpm for 10 min
- discarded supernatant
- resuspended in 66 µl(DH10ß), 64 µl(DH10ß+pSB4K5) and DH10ß+pFSN= 56 µl 1x loading buffer (40% ddH2O, 12.5% TrisHCl pH=7.5, 20% Glycerol (50%), 20% SDS (10%), 5% β-Mercaptoethanol, 2.5% Bromophenol blue)
- boiled samples for 10 min at 98°C
Electrophoresis
- Applied 2.5 µl and 10 µl of each sample on SDS-polyacrylamide gel
- Let it run for 1 h at 180 V
Staining and destaining procedure
- Gel was stained in Coomassie Brilliant Blue for 1 h on shaker
- Destaining with destaining buffer (50% ddH2O, 40% Methanol, 10% Acetic acid) until bands were visible
Results:
- One band at a height of about 190 kDa was visible in DH10ß+pFSN, but not in the controls. As the protein DelE has a molecular weight of 192.52 kDa this band is probably DelE.
- A very weak band could be detected well above the 260 kDa band of the ladder. We suspect that this might be DelG, as it has a molecular weight of 357.33 kDa, however the band was too weak to capture it in a picture. Thus a bigger amount of the samples have to be applied on a SDS-PAGE again.
Validation of pFSN
SDS-PAGE will be repeated to analyze expression of Del genes from our plasmid pFSN
Results
This week we appiled the samples of week 18 on an SDS-PAGE again, as last time we were able to detect DelE, but only saw a band at the height of DelG which was so weak that it could not be captured on a photograph. Therefore we applied more of the samples. The results were positiv. A band could be detected at about 360 kDa was visible. The band of DelE was present again as well. Therefore we were able to prove that DelG is also expressed. As the genes DelA, DelB, DelC, DelD and DelF are regulated by the same promotor as DelE and DelG we assume that these proteins are expressed likewise.

SDS-PAGE of Samples 30-08-2013
Electrophoresis
- Applied 15 µl and 25 µl of the sample DH10ß+pSB4K5 and DH10ß+pFSN 30-08-2013 on a SDS-polyacrylamide gel again.
- Let it run for 1 h at 180 V
Staining and destaining procedure
- Gel was stained in Coomassie Brilliant Blue for 1 h on shaker
- Destaining with destaining buffer (50% ddH2O, 40% Methanol, 10% Acetic acid) until bands were visible
Results:
- Bands of about 190 kDa and 350 kDa were visible in the sample DH10ß+pFSN but not DH10ß+pSB4K5. These bands correlate to the proteins DelE (192.52 kDa) and DelG (357.33 kDa). The other proteins which should be expressed by our plasmid could not be detected as there is much background of the proteins of the cells at these heights.
- Still, as the genes DelA, DelB, DelC, DelD and DelF are closer to the promotor as DelG, we suspect that these genes are expressed as well.
