Summer Plan

Construct pUB110 BioBrick

-Digest pUB110 w/ NdeI and AflII--> gel purify-->nanodrop for concentration


-Digest pUB110 linker w/ NdeI and AflII


Linker sequence: attcgtcttaaggaattcgcggccgcttctagagtactagtagcggccgctgcagcatatgtcatac

-Set up overnight ligation of digested, gel purified pUB110 and digested pUB110 linker = generates pUB110 backbone


-Transform into B. subtilis to amplify


-Set up O. N. cultures


-Do B. subtilis miniprep


-Digest our pUB110 BioBrick


To test pUB110 backbone, which is kanamycin resistant, send for sequencing


-Put an upstream BioBrick (in vector with chloramphenicol resistance) + RFP BioBrick in an amp resistant backbone by doing 3 step assembly


-RFP expression from our modified pUB110 backbone would test if the backbone has all components needed for expression in B. subtilis


-Do transformation in B. subtilis


-Choose transformants--> if transformants express RFP, we could conclude our modified pUB110 backbone works--> submit pUB110 backbone to iGEM HQ


Construct kerA BioBrick

-Do Gibson assembly to put together the two kerA gBlocks from IDT


-Put our kerA biobrick into a backbone w/ amp resistance (so we can use the 3 step assembly) and transform into DH5-a


-Since promoter/upstream biobrick will be in chloramphenicol resistant vector and our puB110 vector will use kanamycin resistance, we will put the kerA biobrick in an amp resistant backbone
