2/28/07

I'm going to shift the project away from streptavidin for now, until I learn more about membrane fractionation or until I get a full streptavidin clone from Takeshi Sano. I'm going towards expressing PDZ repeats on the surface.

Prepared 150ml cultures of JLO66 and JLO159.

Performed minipreps, sent out sequencing, prepared XbaI/PstI digests of PDZ1, 2, 1+2. also, SpeI/PstI digests of JLO66 and JLO159.

3/8/07

Ran 1% 100ml agarose gel (used TAE, and 3ul ethidium bromide), 140V, 50 minutes.

Lane 1: 1kb+

Cut out same bands from Lanes 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, performed Montage gel extraction, and got all 2-3ng/ul.

  • JLO66 and PDZ1
  • JLO66 and PDZ2
  • JLO66 and PDZ1+2
  • JLO159 and PDZ1
  • JLO159 and PDZ2
  • JLO159 adn PDZ1+2

3/9/07

Ug, none of the ligations worked. Onto the Clonewell!

3/11/07

Prepared 150ml LBamp cultures of PDZ1, 2, 1+2. Incubated 200rpm, 37dC, 8pm.

3/12/07

Performed midipreps. Set up 50ul, 2ug XbaI/PstI digests of PDZ1, 2, 1+2, and SpeI/PstI of JLO66, JLO159.

3/13/07

Ran digests on Clonewell e-gel, split each digest into 2 wells, 25ul each.

Nanodropping collections all yielded ~20ng/ul; however, nanodropping a collection from a blank lane yielded ~16ng/ul. Running 20ul of JLO66, JLO159 collections on a 1.2% e-gel yielded strong, sharp bands. Tried out ligation/transformations 2.5:7.5 vector:insert.

Set up new digests, same as yesterday.

3/14/07

Ligation/transformations failed. Retried Clonewell e-gel. Vacufuged samples to up concentration to about 50ng/ul.

3/15/07

Got colonies! Variation in colony sizes, possibly due to the fact that I transformed in Top10 cells, not Top10F'.

Prepared VF2/VR (200nM) PCRs and plate streaks from two big colonies (#1 and 2) and two smaller colonies (#3 and 4). Incubated 1m-1m-1m30s.

Wow, okay, back in lab. Let's look at Alain's sequences.

  • JLO66PDZ1 #6 is correct, beginning to end.
  • JLO159PDZ1 #6 is correct from middle of PDZ1 domain to end. The PDZ1SR reverse sequencing reaction failed after <200bp.
  • JLO159-PDZ1+2 #1 is correct from middle of JLO159 to near end of PDZ1+2.
  • JLO159-PDZ1+2 #3 is correct from middle of JLO159 (a little farther upstream than #1) to near end of PDZ1+2. The orientations of the sequence alignments was weird.

Sent out the following sequencing reactions.

  • 113: JLO159PDZ1 #6 OmpA46F
  • 114: ...VR
  • 115: JLO159PDZ2 #3 PDZ2F
  • 116: ...PDZ2RS
  • 117: JLO159PDZ2 #6 PDZ2F
  • 118: ...PDZ2RS
  • 119: JLO66PDZ2 #1 PDZ2F
  • 120: ...PDZ2RS
  • 121: JLO66PDZ2 #5 PDZ2F
  • 122: ...PDZ2RS
  • 123: JLO66PDZ1+2 #5 PDZ1F
  • 124: ...PDZ2RS

4/16/07

Checked the sequencing results from 4/10/07, and they all check out. So along with 3/23 sequencing, the following have been confirmed.

JLO66PDZ1 #6 JLO66PDZ2 #1 or #5 JLO66PDZ1+2 #5 JLO159PDZ1 #6 JLO159PDZ2 #6 JLO159PDZ1+2 #1
