To-do
- RFP in low-copy plasmid (transformed in Top10 and Top10F')
- Colony PCR the J04450 + pSB4A3 colonies with BB primers to test if our ligation worked
- Inoculate liquid cultures with these colonies
- GFP dev in low-copy plasmid (from digest assay)
Run the redigest of pSB4A3 (pSB4A3\S-P, pSB4A3\X-P, psB4A3 undigested) on a gel, to see if the plasmid is the right length or if it has an insert- CIP treat the 4 gel-extracted pSB4A3\S-P from the digest assay
- If the pSB4A3 plasmid looks alright, ligate GFP dev\X-P + psB4A3\S-P
- Transform ligation products
- Kai\X-P + J04500\S-P ligation
Run the KaiA\X-P, KaiB\X-P, and KaiC\X-P digests from yesterday on a gel- Extract and purify KaiA\X-P, KaiB\X-P, and KaiC\X-P
- CIP treat J04500\S-P
- Ligate Kai\X-P + J04500\S-P
- Transform ligation products
- Growing up Kai
- Inoculate cultures of the transformed KaiA/B/C GeneART plasmids
Results of Restreak of J00450+PSB4A3
Although the colonies took two days to grow, the restreak of the plates on Carb worked; we will now verify the ligation via PCR while growing liquid culture from them.
PCR ligation test of J04450+PSB4A3 + innoculation
Following Perry's Protocol which worked pretty well, in order to check the ligation we will do a PCR using the PCR Supermix from the VF2 and VR areas of the plasmid;
From the above image, we will try 7 colonies:
- Top10 plate2 A (eg. 102)
- Top10 plate1 A (eg. 101)
- Top10F plate1 (eg. F1)
- Top10F plate2 1 (eg. F2-1)
- Top10F plate2 2 (eg. F2-2)
- Top10F plate2 3 (eg. F2-3)
- Top10F plate2 3 (eg. F2-4)
From Perry's Protocol, each will have:
- 8uL PCR supermix
- 1uL VF2 (2uM)
- 1uL VR (2uM)
Then, get a carb plate, pick the desired colony, grow in 8mL LB+Carb. Choose another (monoclonal source), dip it into the 10uL rxn.
The runtime protocol, modified from Perry's is:
- 95@15m
- Loopx30
- 95@1
- 55@1
- 72@1.30
- 72@10
- 4@forever
