RePCR of Bjh1601 AC on closest, black thermocycler

  • Well contents: 33uL Phusion MM, 1uL each oligo (ss13r and igemTen009), .5uL template DNA
  • run on program 4K55

  • This confirms that the problem I was having was due to the program I was using in the iGEM folder on the white thermocycler.
  • This band looks perfect (3100bp) and is even stronger than the original.
  • I gel purified it



DpnI Digestion of Bjh1601 AC

  • started with 8.5uL zymo-purified Bjh1601 AC from above procedure
  • added 0.5uL DpnI and 0.9uL NEB buffer 2

Parts Preparation

DpnI Digestion
I added 0.85 uL NEB2 buffer and 0.5uL DpnI to my Bjh1601 AC PCR product (gel purified) in order to digest all remaining template DNA, which would interfere with the Gibson reacton. The mixture was placed in the incubator at 10:26 and will be ready at 11:26.

  • 11.26: Zymo Preparation
    • during zymo purification, I accidentally added 200 uL N3j Qiagen Neutralization buffer, instead of PE buffer.
    • attempt to recover DNA:
      • added 200uL PE to N3/DNA solution
      • spun through zymo column in 30sec
      • added 200 ADB buffer to solution
      • spun through same zymo column in 30 sec
      • discarded liquid waste
      • spun 200uL PE though zymo column in 15 sec
      • discarded liquid waste
      • spun 200uL PE though zymo column in 15 sec
      • discarded liquid waste
      • spun for 90 sec to remove any remaining PE buffer
      • discarded waste
      • added 17uL H20
      • spun into a new eppendorf in 30 seconds
      • run on gel


I cut out the band at 3kb and gel purified it. The band is not intense, but it does seem I was able to recover some of the DNA. I gel purified this DNA, but I would prefer to use the product of the below PCR, if it is successful.

RePCR of Bjh1601 AC

  • Well contents: 33uL Phusion MM, 1uL each oligo (ss13r and igemTen009), .5uL template DNA
  • run on program 4K55

  • These were the exact procedures I used to originally PCR pBjh1601AC, with one difference: the thermocycler I used (I used the white one on the back wall and ran the 4k55 program under the iGEM folder. Note to future self: do not use programs in this folder). I will repeat this on the same thermocycler


PCR of sbb10

  • Continued attempts to PCR sbb10
  • double checked oligos on ApE
  • created new 1:10 dilutions of oligos igemTen 14 and igemTen16
  • in each well: 33uL polymerase MM, 1uL each of diluted igemTen 14 and igemTen16, 0.5 uL sbb10 from well A3 on Parts Plate 1

PDD Part Preparation

Eco/Bam Transfers

  • Eco/Bam transfered 1601CA Bjh 2333 L, 1601CA Bjh2348 L,1601CA Bjh2349, and 1601CA Bjh 2331 in pBca1601 AK( we got this from shelley, and had to dilute it by half). We did this because BAC is CAM resistant, so if both parts are Cam resistant, it is possible to lose BAC, which is only single, and not be able to tell. So in the end, we will end up plating our stuff on A/K/C/Spec plates.

  • for pBca1256-Bjh1934 in MG1655,Bjh2343 in MG1655 and Bjh2344 in MG1655:
    • added 500μL of overnight-grown culture to 50mL Spec LB in an Erlenmeyer flask
  • for MG1655:
    • added 1mL of overnight-grown culture to 50mL LB (no AB) in an Erlenmeyer flask (because the solution had been diluted 1:2 with 50% glycerol)
  • both flasks put on shaker in lab at 12:00
  • 2:00pm
    • pBca1256-Bjh1934,Bjh2343 and Bjh2344 (all in MG1655) have all grown up well, but not MG1655 (probably because of the glycerol)
      • MG1655 was place back in the incubator
      • pBca1256-Bjh1934,Bjh2343 and Bjh2344 solutions were chilled for ten minutes before being transferred to 50mL Falcon tubes and centrifuged for 13 minutes on 4100rpm.
        • poured off the supernatant
        • added 2.5ml TSS solution to each of the three vials
        • made 98uL aliquots into 25 chilled eppendorf tubes for storage (25 tubes for each of pBca1256-Bjh1934,Bjh2343 and Bjh2344)
  • Transformed BAC into 1, 2, 3.
  • Plated on Cam, Spec plates.
  • 3:30
    • removed MG1655 from incubator and conducted the procedure above (chilling, centrifuging, resuspending in TSS and aliquoting)
    • 100 tubes labeled "1" (for Bjh2343), "2" ( Bjh2344), "3"(pBca1256-Bjh1934), "4"(MG1655 )
    • Drops of the remaining solutions in the Falcon tubes were dropped on plates of Amp, Can, Spec, and Chlor as a negative control

  • The five plates from yesterday (shown below) grew up well. We picked two colonies from the following:
    • 2343
    • 2344
    • 1256-1934
    • MG1655
    • pB6
  • The first four of these will mixed with glycerol to be used as competent cells
  • Picked Transformed cells from Stage 1 of Assembly of iGEM10_007
    • plated on ACK plate to check for cotransformation
    • incubated in shaker
    • ran colony PCR

Colony PCR

Selected four colonies from each plate. Dipped the pipette tip in PCR tube with 40uL of MasterMix and a well containing 3mL of LB with the appropriate antibiotics, before spreading the pipette tip across a plate with all three antibiotics (to check for cotransformation).

iGEM10_001 (part 8 next to 23 in a CK vector): Expected band length: about 1500bp
iGEM10_002 (part 11 next to 6 in AC vector): Expected band length: about 550bp
iGEM10_003 (part 20 next to 5 in CK vector): Expected band length: about 1250bp 



Colony PCR

Lane 1 iGEM10_003a (should be 1250bp) 

Lane 2 iGEM10_003b (should be 1250bp) 

Lane 3 iGEM10_003c (should be 1250bp) 

4 iGEM10_003d (should be 1250bp) 

5 iGEM10_001a (should be 1500bp) 

6 iGEM10_001b (should be 1500bp)

7 iGEM10_001c (should be 1500bp)

8 iGEM10_001d (should be 1500bp)

9 iGEM10_002a (should be 550bp)

10 iGEM10_002b (should be 550bp)

11 iGEM10_002c (should be 550bp)

12 iGEM10_002d (should be 550bp)

We will choose the following samples to miniprep tomorrow:
iGEM10_001c,d
iGEM10_002c,d
iGEM10_003a,b

  • Moved the sequences from BioE 140L from Clotho to the Data Sheet on Google Docs
  • Created oligos for a Gibson PCR for the assembly of iGEM10_007
    • logged as the first oligos on Google Docs
    • ordered by Tim

  • (with Tahoura)
  • Transformed (spec)1256-2343 and (spec)1256-2344 into MG1655. Used minipreps of spec1256-2343 and spec1256-2344 from box and diluted 10x. Mixed 50ul MG1655 with 17.5ul KCN and added 1ul diluted DNA. Incubated for 1hr and plated on Spec. Left in incubator to grow
  • Plated pB6 (BAC), place in incubator. Needs to be picked and miniprepped tomorrow.
  • Transformed pBca1256-Bjh1934 into MG1655. Used procedure from (1)
  • Attempted to enter parts into clotho --> would not save

First step of Manual Assembly

Digestion

Lefty MM added to 9+8, 7+11, 9+20
Right MM added to 7+23, 8+6, 7+5
They should be done incubating at 3:48pm.


Lefty MasterMix (for 4uL miniprep DNA)

  • 4uL water
  • 1uL of NEB2
  • 0.5uL XhoI
  • 0.5uL BamH1

Righty MasterMix (for 4uL miniprep DNA)

  • 4uL water
  • 1uL of NEB2
  • 0.5uL XhoI
  • 0.5uL BglII
  • note: righty digestions had different volumes, which seemed suspicious, so the digestion was repeated with 1uL of each enzyme for 30 min.

Zymo

Means of getting rid of restriction enzymes. Didn't heat kill because BamH1 isn't denatured by heat killing. Eluted with 10uL of H2O. Products are labeled 7+11 L, 9+8 L, 9+20 L.

Ligation:

Followed this protocol with the following amendments:
Mastermix

  • 6.5uL ddH2O
  • 1uL T4 DNA Ligase Buffer (small red or black-striped tubes)
  • 0.5uL T4 DNA Ligase

DNA

  • 3uL Lefty vector
  • 3uL Right vector

Added DNA to MM at 5:12pm. Will incubate on bench until 5:42pm.

Transformation

  • 70uL of each ligation added to cells
    • 7+11/8+6 in righty
    • 9+8/7+23 and 9+20/7+5 in lefty
