      Promoter and Transformation Trouble Shooting


      No colonies have grown on the plates incubated with transformed Top 10 cells with pSB1C3 and various promoters plated on July 16 2013. We did a nanodrop quantification of the ligationproducts.


      HTML tutorial



      While the 260/280 ratios seem high, Dr. wawrick says that they aren’t troubling. However, the amount of DNA quantified is unrealistic. Since, we only started with 100ng of insert and 200ng of vector. We ran a gel to see if what we quantified is DNA and not RNA.


      Well 1-Ladder

      Well 2-Aadc – RBS

      Well 3- thl + RBS



      From this gel, it doesn’t look like we actually have any DNA (although there may be some really faint bands near the bottom). This means that the ligation didn’t actually occur (or we would have seen a band at 2000bp + 125-75bp). However, if the ligation didn’t work we would still expect to see 2 bands. One is the size of the vector and the other is the size of the insert. Perhaps, something went wrong in the phenol/chloroform extraction step.

Since we used the wrong kit, we’re going to precipitate the DNA out (used digestion on May/9)


Phenol Chloroform Protocol pH 8:

  • Turn on heating block
  • Add equal amounts of phenol and whatever volume DNA is in (20μL)
    • Phenol : Pipette below top surface
  • Vortex
  • Centrifuge for 30 seconds
    • Two layers appear
    • Protein is inactive and at interphase
    • Pipette out top layer of both and combine aqueous
      • Need to get rid of phenol because it absorbs same wavelength as does water and interferes with enzyme activity
  • Add 50μL of CIAA 24:1
    • Removes Phenol
  • Vortex
  • Centrifuge for 30 seconds
  • Remove top layer (aqueous)
    • Leave a little behind so not to contaminate aqueous phase with bottom layer
  • Add 50μL of CIAA 24:1
  • Vortex
  • Centrifuge for 30 seconds
  • Remove top layer (aqueous)
    • Leave a little behind so not to contaminate aqueous phase with bottom layer

    Now we have 50μL of DNA

  • Add 1/10 volume sodium acetate 3M pH 5.2
  • Add 7/10 volume (total) of isopropanol
  • Vortex
  • Centrifuge for 20 minutes at 14,000 rpm
  • Dispose of liquid, leaving pellet inside tube
  • Add 50μL of 10% ethanol to get rid of isopropanol
  • Centrifuge for 30 seconds
  • Dispose of liquid
  • Use heat block to dry
    • 60°C for 15 minutes
    • Leave tube open

    Tubes will be labeled with the plasmid name, which enzyme used, and which buffer was used. For example


    • pSB1C3
    • RSA1 and Xba1
    • 2μL of Invitrogen buffer
    • pSB1C3

    This looks to be the same size no matter the temperature. We hypothesize that either our primers are laying down non-specifically or they are oriented in the wrong direction. If it turns out our primers are fine, then we may have a different organis, than expected.

    • well 3:100 Dilution
    • well 4:1000 Dilution
    • well 5:10000 Dilution
    • well 6:Control

    From these gels, we can see a band between 250 and 500 bases, which isn't the size of our clostridial origin. Assuming PCR worked correctly, we should see a band of approximately 1200 base pairs. Since we ran multiple cells with the same result, we are hypothesizing that an error was in the PCR reaction. Therefore, we are going to repeat PCR before we move forward by adjusting the annealing temperature.
