Cloning of SOD into pMA.His

Plasmid prep

Sample Conc [ng/μl] A260/A280
pMA.SOD⋅His 1 246.3 1.89
pMA.SOD⋅His 2 230.7 1.87

From 30/8 ON cultures

  • E.Z.N.A. Plasmid Miniprep kit
  • Elution: 50 μl dH2O (x2)

Sequencing

pMA.SOD⋅His 1 (SH1): ASB0045 B28 pMA.SOD⋅His 2 (SH2): ASB0045 B29

N-CPP cloning

Transformation results

  • pSB1C3.Tra10
  • pSB1C3.TAT
  • pSB1C3.LMWP
  • pSB1C3.N-CPP

A dozen colonies on each plate

Colony PCR

Due to lack of PCR beads only two colonies from each single N-CPP was picked for colony PCR:

  • Tra10: 10 1 & 10 2
  • TAT: TA 1 & TA 2
  • LMWP: LM 1 & LM 2
  • Neg. contr (NC): Blank

Standard colony PCR procedures. Elongation time: 1:00

Gel verification

Colony PCR gel verification of N-Tra10, N-TAT and N-LMWP.
3 μl λ; 5 μl sample.
λ=O'GeneRuler 1 kb DNA ladder

1 % agarose, 110 V

Expected bands

  • Tra10: 389 bp
  • TAT: 359 bp
  • LMWP: 368 bp

Results
Way too large bands, which is very strange. Troubleshooting needed.

Troubleshooting/Gel verification

Gel verification of digested N-CPP and pSB1C3 vector samples.
3μl λ; 5 μl sample
λ=O'GeneRuler 1 kb DNA ladder

Ran a gel of N-CPP ligation mixes and digestion samples to verify DNA fragment lengths.

Expected bands

  • Lig Tra10 (Lig pSB1C3.Tra10 30/8)
    • 2145 bp, 54 bp, 2078 bp
  • Lig TAT (Lig pSB1C3.TAT 30/8)
    • 2115 bp, 45 bp, 2078 bp
  • Lig LMWP (Lig pSB1C3.LMWP 30/8)
    • 2124 bp, 75 bp, 2078 bp
  • Lig N-CPP (Lig pSB1C3.N-CPP 30/8)
    • 2124 bp, 2115 bp, 2145 bp, 54 bp, 45 bp, 75 bp, 2078 bp etc.
  • Dig X+A (Dig pSB1C3 X+A EXTR (from 9/8))
    • 2078 bp
  • Dig N+S (Dig pSB1C3 N+S EXTR (from 9/8))
    • 2076 bp

Results
As expected a 2078/2076 bp digested pSB1C3 fragment appeared in all samples. Apart from the ≈4 kb fragment in "Lig N-CPP" no bands are visible. This could mean that no other sizes are present; however, since almost all expected bands were very small, it is also possible that they can't be visualized by gel verification. Not many conclusions can be drawn from this.
