Gel verification

Gel verification of sample digestions.
4 μl λ; 3 μl sample.
1 kb λ = O'GeneRuler 1 kb DNA ladder. 50 bp λ = GeneRuler 50 bp DNA ladder.

Due to the risk of pSB1A2.RBS.yCCS and pEX.N-TAT⋅SOD⋅His having previously been mixed up, a gel was run on the digested samples (after 15 min incubation) to verify the excised insert size. Remaining samples were also run on the gel to verify digestion.

1 % agarose, 120 V

Expected bands

  1. pSB1A2.RBS.yCCS X+P: 806 bp, 2061 bp
  2. pEX.N-TAT⋅SOD⋅His X+P: 558 bp, 4453 bp
  3. pSB1K3.N-TAT⋅SOD⋅His S+P: ≈2730 bp
  4. pSB1K3.N-Tra10⋅SOD⋅His X+P: 588 bp, 2188 bp
  5. pSB1K3.N-Tra10⋅SOD⋅His S+P: ≈2760 bp
  6. pSB1C3.N-LMWP⋅SOD⋅His X+P: 567 bp, 2054 bp
  7. pSB1C3.N-LMWP⋅SOD⋅His S+P: ≈2610 bp
  8. pEX.RFP X+P: 1095 bp, 4453 bp

Results
Seemingly correct bands for samples 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8. More unsure results for 6 and 7, while 2 seems to contain more than one insert, or has been digested at several places.

Overnight culture

I inoculated protein A#5_TAT, _LMWP & _Tra10 all from colony #1 on each dish.

12 ml LB + 24 ul chloramphenicol.

Concentration measurement

  • Protein A#5_CPP_TAT_C cons: 95ng/ul 95/10 = 9.5ng/ul λ260 0.019 λ280 0.009 λ315 -0.002
  • Vector with CPP_TAT_C conc: 95 ng/ul

95ng/ul * Volume = 25ng/ul * 5 ul

Volume = 1.3 ul sample and fill up to 5 ml with H2O.

  • IgG N+P cons: 30ng/ul 30/2.5 = 12ng/ul λ260 0.007 λ280 0.006 λ315 0.000
  • IgG A+E cons: 40ng/ul 40/2.5 = 16ng/ul λ260 0.007 λ280 0.007 λ315 0.001

Ligation

  • Vector CPP_TAT_C 1 ul
  • Protein A gene 21 ul
  • Quick ligase 1 ul
  • Quicke ligase buffer 2X 23 ul



  • Vector LMWP, TAT & Tra10 0.5 ul each
  • gene IgG (N+P) 7.5 ul each
  • Quick ligation 1 ul
  • Quick ligation buffer 2X 9 ul each



  • Vector CPP_TAT_C 1 ul
  • gene IgG (A+E) 17 ul
  • Quick ligation 1 ul
  • Quick ligation buffer 2X 19 ul

Transformation

I transformed the ligations with 10 ul in 100 ul Top 10 cloning cells.

Digestion

  • H2O 15 ul
  • Fastdigest buffer 10X 2 ul
  • DNA 2 ul
  • Restriction enzyme NgoMIV 1 ul
  • Restriction enzyme PstI 1 ul (Add after 1.5 h incubation in 37 °C and incubate in 30 min)

Inactivate in 80 °C for 30 min.

Added CIAP 1 ul and incubate 1 h in 37 °C.

Gel purification

A gel was run with pMA (vector with histag) cut before and after his, and bFGF cut before and after

A gel purification was then performed on all samples.

Abs:

bFGF-his: 14 ng/µl his-bFGF: 18 ng/µl pMA before: 22 ng/µl pMA after: 30 ng /µl

Ligation

bFGF after & pMA before

bFGF before & pMA after

5 µl insert

3 µl vector

1 µl T4 ligase

2 µl 10x buffer

9 µl H2O

Transformation

3 µl of all constructs was transformed into top10 cells.
