5. Colony PCR 23043.1-43.4 and 23044.1-44.4 is ca998 and g00101. one control using same oligos but 23006-23008 as a template. all of these came out looking the right size. i will pick a colony tomorrow to grow and miniprep.

hey brian.
we ligated and transformed J23043 and J23044 for you today. we couldn't make J23021 and J23042 though with the J01006 and J01007 digests because there wasn't a J23008 Alwn/Xbal digest, only a J23008 Alwn/Spe digest and there was not enough of the J23008 miniprep to make a new digest, so we grew up J23008 from the -80 instead. Also, you guys are running low on J23009 but didn't have a minus 80 stock of it, so me and matt transformed the miniprep that was sequenced in TGIs.

Hey Brian. This is what I did for you today:

• religated key3 variants with pSB3C6-J23018 (it wouldnt have worked to plate your ligation/transformations becuase they sat in the shaker over night)
• transformed and plated on CAM plates
• made names for all 7 of these constructs and temporary construction files (need to be formatted correctly. i just put into in there so we know what they are)
• checked sequencing results, threw out transformations i did earlier of pJ23006-J23035-1, pJ23006-J23034-3, pJ23006-J23033-1, and pJ23006-J23030-1. picked 3 new colonies of each of those.

• tecan assay:

	199  	287  	431  	22903  	1388  	1309  	867  	973  	1214

TGI, 1122, 1122x1129, 1022, pJ23006-J23009-1-E, pJ23006-J23009-1-F, pJ23006-J23009-1-G, pJ23006-J23009-1-H, pJ23006-J23009-1-I

• sent for sequencing again using the reverse sequencing oligo G00101.

2.

 Digested the lock3variant PCRs and ligated with the 23018 digest.

• transformed but not plated. the cells are in the rescue phase incubating in LB. these just need to be plated on chloramphenicol now.
• sent pSB3C6-J23018 for sequencing off the midiprep.

3.

• fixed construction error. experiment needs to be restarted.

4.

• hold off for now.

5.

• digested pJ23006-J23008 and pJ23006-J23009 according to the construct files for pJ23006-J23043 and pJ23006-J23044.

i gel purified these digests so that they are ready to be ligated as is. this means that the Digest pJ23006-J23008 (AlwNI/SpeI, Neb2, large-1826bp) and Digest pJ23006-J23009 (AlwNI/XbaI, Neb2, small-652bp are cleaned up and mixed together and ready to be ligated to make pJ23006-J23043. likewise the pJ23006-J23044 construct is in the same form. these ependorfs are labeled as "pJ23006-J23043 dig. C" and "pJ23006-J23044 dig. C" and are sitting in the riboregulator's oligonucleotide box (since this is the only one with room.)

These results are somewhat unexpected compared to yesterday's assay which was pretty much the same thing except we have 1022 data on this one.

• due to the variation in flouresence the experiment will be repeated using several different colonies in an effort to establish relatively presice numbers.

2. minipreped pSB3C6-J230181,2. digested EcoRI/XbaI. the gel came out really bad due to the low copy number of the p15a backbone and the digest of the 23006-lock3variants also came out really bad because the fragment was so small it wasnt visible on the gel (~260). as such, a pcr strategy will be taken to amplify the small fragment using the pSB1A2 sequencing oligos (ca998 and G00101) and then digest from there. the pcr has been done. in order to get the pSB3C6-J23019-1 backbone digested we will need to midiprep it to obtain a high concentration of the low copy plasmid and then the digest should come out better.

• a 50ml solution of pSB3C6-J23018 has been grown up for the midi.
• sent one of each 23006-lock3variant for sequenceing.

3. grew up two colonies of each pSB1A2-J230024,-J23025
