Talk:20.109(S07): Start-up expression engineering
From OpenWetWare
On Day 1 of Module 3, you did a few things:
- Learned about the SAGA chromatin-remodeling complex and chose a non-essential sub-unit of the SAGA complex to delete
- Designed primers to amplify the URA3 sequence with flanking sequence from upstream and downstream of the sub-unit chosen for deletion (On Day 2: This DNA sequence will be able to get into the nucleus of the yeast cells we are transforming after we have made them "competent" for DNA uptake. Once in the nucleus, the flanking sequences with homology to upstream and downstream sequence of your SAGA sub-unit will allow your DNA product from PCR to integrate into the yeast genome, via homologous recombination, kicking out your SAGA sub-unit sequence and replacing it with URA3 sequence)
- Set up PCRs with those primers to amplify the URA3 sequence off of the pRS406 plasmid DNA
