Team Allergy

Today, we isolated plasmid that contained antisense and sense sequences of the allergen panel and introns PME and PAL that we grew last week.

Procedures

For amiRNA

  1. Nanodrop of miniprepped amiRNA plasmids
  2. Diagnostic digest of amiRNA plasmids
  3. E Gel of digested amiRNA
  4. Send plasmids to Genewiz for sequencing

For ihpRNA

  1. Miniprep of plasmids containing introns for hpRNA
  2. Nanodrop of miniprepped intron plasmids
  3. Miniprep of plasmids containing Allergen Panel sense and antisense
  4. Nanodrop of minipreped allergen plasmids
  5. Diagnostic Digest of introns and allergens
  6. E Gel

Results

For amiRNA

Miniprep of turbo bacteria for plasmids containing sequences for amiRNA

Should obtain plasmids containing the complete sequence for amiRNA. The resulting concentration should be relatively high (<100ng/μL) because all growing bacteria would have the plasmids inside.

Nanodrop of miniprepped amiRNA plasmids

We used 2μL of DNA per nanodrop.

Concentrations in ng/μL
Sample # --> One Two Three
GFP 134.4 167.6 207.2
GFP 0.5 163.3 106.9 230.9
LTP 134.0 127.8 165.5
LTP 0.5 158.5 137.2 113.5
Bet 129.4 78.9 124.4

Diagnostic digest of amiRNA plasmids Digested 200~500ng of plasmids with EcoR1 and Spe1. We will then run the digested vectors on an E Gel and look for DNA that is the length of the insert. If such DNA appears on the gel, then we will send it off to be sequenced.

E Gel of digested amiRNA

  8. LTP 1
  9. LTP 2
  10. LTP 3
  11. LTP 0.5 1 no visible band for neither plasmid nor insert
  12. LTP 0.5 2

Gel #2

  1. 1kb Ladder
  2. LTP 0.5 3
  3. Bet 1
  4. Bet 2
  5. Bet 3
  6. Neg Control for hpRNA (digested with Xba and Pst, and ligated without new inserts) no visible insert band
  7. Neg Control for intron (digested with Eco and Spe, and ligated without new inserts)
  8. PME Good no visible insert band
  9. PME Dubious no visible insert band
  10. PAL Good colony 1 no visible insert band
  11. PAL Good colony 2
  12. 1kb Ladder

For ihpRNA

  1. Miniprep of plasmids containing introns for hpRNA
  2. Nanodrop of miniprepped intron plasmids

We used 2μL of DNA per nanodrop.

phannibal and pkannibal

  • transformed
  • pcr to get out pdk intron

Team Fence

Inoculated Barstar and NLS colonies from Thursday's ligation.

Performed PCR on LacIn (E10) following standard PCR measurements as previously described.

Digestion of B21 backbone using Xba1 and Pst1

Total volume per reaction: 50 μL

  • 2μL Xba1
  • 2μL Pst1
  • 10μL B21 plasmid (0.3μg/μL X 10μL = 3μg DNA)
  • 5μL 10X digestion buffer
  • 31μL H2O

Digestion successful, larger bands removed for gel extraction.

Gel extraction performed according to QIAgen gel extraction protocol.

Team Flavour

Tagging Miraculin and Brazzein with YFP and StrepII tags

Tag: -E--N--X--STREP/YFP--S--N--P-
Insert: E--N--X--Miraculin/Brazzein--S--N--P-

  • The 'tag' biobrick (either YFP or STREPII) was used as the vector; Miraculin and Brazzein were used as the insert.
  • Tags were ligated to both the N- and C-terminal of Miraculin and Brazzein

Gel

The gel showed DNA fragments consistent with Miraculin and Brazzein. The digestion of B21 appeared to be succesful, but the DNA sequence cut out was too small to see on the gel.

   Gel Lanes:
    1. 1 kb plus ladder
    2. B21 speI/pstI
    4. B21 ecoRI/xbaI
    6. Miraculin xbaI/pstI
    8. Miraculin ecoRI/speI
    10. Brazzein xbaI/pstI
    12. Brazzein ecoRI/pstI
    14. 1kb plus ladder


We extracted the circled bands and gel purified the gel per the Qiagen gel purification protocol.

   ODs of gel purified DNA
    B21 speI/pstI:  15.9 ng/μL
    B21 ecoRI/xbaI:  11.0 ng/μL
    Miraculin xbaI/pstI:  9.7 ng/μL
    Miraculin ecoRI/speI:  7.1 ng/μL
    Brazzein xbaI/pstI:  2.6 ng/μL
    Brazzein ecoRI/pstI:  5.0 ng/μL
