Gibson Assembly and electroporation

Assembly of our fragments

Those gel-purified fragments were added for the Gibson assembly of our construct pFSN.

Fragment Primer Date Concentration (ng/µl) Volume (µl)
pSB4K5 FS_01 - FS_16 14-08-13 13 1.35
AF FS_02 - FS_05 13-08-13 49.75 2.65
FG FS_21 - FS_26 07-08-13 24.5 2.69
G FS_35_SR_01 - FS_23 08-08-13 34.9 2.1
OP FS_22 - FS_13 13-08-13 36.3 0.89
L FS_14 - FS_15 07-08-13 51 0.31
Gibson MasterMix NEB 2x 10
  • Gibson Assembly according to protocols of NEB, 1h at 50°C

Gibson backbone (pSB4K5)

The backbone pSB4K5 was also incubated with the Gibson mastermix. We will use this as one negative control in the electroporation to test the efficiency.

The following samples were electroporated

  • Cells were transdered into 400 µl SOC-medium (NEB) after electroporation
  • incubation and growth of cells for 1 hour at 37°C
  • cells were centrifuged for 3 min at 6000rpm, supernatant discarded and cells resuspended in remaining SOC-medium
  • cells were plated on agar plates containing kanamycine, 10µl on one plate, remaining µl on another plate for electroporation of the construct pFSN and on agar plates containing ampicillin for electroporation of the control backbone pSB6A1

Colony PCRs

As a lot of colonies grew we screened if DelL and pSB4K5 are present.

Colony PCRs of red colonies after gibson assembly and electroporation (16-08); run at 100 V, 0.8 % gel (TAE)

Different probes:

  • A: 1 µl of diluted Gibson electroporated; 10 µl of E.coli plated
  • B: 1 µl of diluted Gibson electroporated; Rest of E.coli plated
  • C: 14 µl of diluted Gibson electroporated; 10 µl of E.coli plated
  • D: 14 µl of diluted Gibson electroporated; Rest of E.coli plated


  • Only red colonies were chosen for screening
  • The expected amplicon size is 1.5 kb

Result:

  • None of the screened colonies led to the correct amplicon, therefore the correct assembly has not worked in any of the white colonies
  • screening will be repeated, with white colonies as template, as bacteria including the correct 32 kbp backbone might not be capable of expressing mRFP anymore due to the large insert between lac promotor and mRFP

Result:

  • Colony D8w shows expected amplicon of 1.5kbp
  • The other colonies were screened negative.
  • D8w will be transfered to liquid culture to repeat screening PCR as well as for further validation beeing screening for the other insert fragments as well as test restriction digest
  • Furthermore another electorporation will be carried out to yield more clones positive for screening with the Primers VR and FS_14, therefore the remaining 10µl of the Gibson assembly will be purified using isopropanol precipitation


Electroporation

We electroporated the Gibson assembly (15-08) again to increase the chance of a positive clone. We purified it by isopropanol purification.

Result:

  • colony D8w again showed the expected amplicon in the colony PCR and will therefore be further analyzed for the other fragments as well as restriction digested and partially sequenced as soon as screening primers arive
  • Furthermore colonies E16w and F25w are screened positive for the fragment DelL
