Objectives

We are assembling the AmyE and PyrD vectors in order to transform B. Subtilis with our parts. Once completed, these vectors will be reusable and can then be used to introduce any relevant piece of DNA directly into B.subtilis genome. The vectors will be used both for the final assembly and for testing constructs.

Assemble the PyrD vector
Assemble the AmyE vector

Assembly of Vectors

Starting from the top, we are assembling the first two fragments (K14070 and K14064) and K147002 with our oligos to add in a Dif site. Two dif sites on either side of resistance cassettes can be used to later excise antibiotic resistance from our final constructs.

K14070 and K14064 fragments

- DNA was taken out of the reigstry
- Cut with restriction enzymes
- Run on a gel to confirm correct cutting
  and estimate relative ratios of DNA for ligation
- Ligated overnight
- Transformed into E.Coli to Amplify the DNA
- Colony PCR has been used to confirm the correct insert size.

Next Steps:

- Extract the DNA with a miniprep
- Proceed to the next step - Reverse PCR

K14002 and oligos

- Ligated two single stranded oligos together to produce Dif and insertion site
- Standard biobrick assembly of oligos to K14002
- Ligation and transformation into E.coli competent cells (strain)
- Screen plated colonies for correct insertion

Next Steps

- Purify the correct insert out of E.coli
- Next step assembly - LacI test vector and Final assembly vector

B2 : LacI Testing Vector

- Currently waiting for Part B step 2 Midi-prep results to start this step

Annealing the forward and reverse strands of the dif XP oligo

The forward and reverse strands of the 5' dif site with XbaI and PstI restriction sites on either side have been synthesized separately. The synthesized fragments arrive in solid powder form. These were immediately diluted in ddH2O to obtain a stock concentration of 1 ng/ul. They were then allowed to anneal together by heating them to 95 degs for denaturation and allowing them to cool down and anneal overnight.

Friday, August 13

Restriction digest of dif XP

After annealing the two strands, the oligo was cut with XbaI and PstI to obtain overhangs that would later ligate with the compatible overhangs of a digested vector.

PCR purification of the digested dif XP

The digested oligo was PCR purified in order to get rid of any contaminants. PCR purification gets rid of short pieces of DNA which are less than about 40 base pairs.

Gel Analysis of dif XP

Restriction digest of 5' ins [K143008]

K143008 is the 5' integration site for the PyrD vector. This will be used as a front insert together with the dif XP for the pSB1C3 vector.

PCR amplification of pSB1C3

The pSB1C3 vector backbone from the registry was amplified with the use of SB3 and SB2a primers. Submission of parts to the registry requires them to be in a pSB1C3 vector therefore any parts to be submitted will be inserted into this vector.

PCR purification of pSB1C3

The PCR amplified vector was purified in order to get rid of any contaminants. For example, short pieces of DNA like the primers.

Tuesday, August 17

Gel extraction and purification of 5' ins ES

The digested 5' ins was first analyzed on the gel to verify it's size and then extracted for purification. The 5' ins was gel purified in order to extract only the relevant piece of DNA.

Restriction digest of pSB1C3

The pSB1C3 vector was digested so that it would contain compatible overhangs for ligation with inserts.

PCR purification of pSB1C3 EP

The digested pSB1C3 was re-purified in order to get rid of any contaminant DNA that arose during the digestion.

Restriction digests of pveg and Spec-T

pveg (promoter and RBS) and Spec-T (Spectinomycin with a terminator) were digested in preparation for 3A assembly.

Ligation of 5' ins (ES) and dif (XP) with pSB1C3 (EP)

The digested 5' ins and dif (the front inserts) were ligated overnight with pSB1C3 (the vector). A bench ligation and an overnight ligation were set up.

Transformation of E.Coli with bench ligate

E.Coli was transformed via the chemical method using the bench ligate.

Gel extraction and purification of pveg and Spec-T

Since these are both inserts they were gel extracted and purified. PCR purification is not carried out for inserts since they are small and would therefore be lost during the process.

Wednesday, August 18

Replica plating and colony PCR of 5' ins and dif in pSB1C3 (bench ligation)

Ligation of pveg (ES) and SpecR-T (XP) with pSB1C3 (EP)

pveg and SpecR-T (the front inserts) were ligated overnight with pSB1C3 (the vector).

Thursday, August 19

Transformation of E.Coli with the overnights ligates

5' ins and dif in pSB1C3
pveg and SpecR-T in pSB1C3

Friday, August 20

Replica plating and colony PCR of both transformations from yesterday.

Annealing the forward and reverse strands of the dif P ES oligo

The forward and reverse strands of the 3' dif Pme1 sites with XbaI and PstI restriction sites on either side have been synthesized separately. The synthesized fragments arrive in solid powder form. These were immediately diluted in ddH2O to obtain a stock concentration of 1 ng/ul. They were then allowed to anneal together by heating them to 95 degs for denaturation and allowing them to cool down and anneal overnight.
