Cloning

To remove unwanted insertion of a C nucleotide located at the PstI site in the suffix, caused by cloning in the pEX vector, yCCS, SOD and IgG protease will be transferred to a new vector by digestion with SpeI.

Digestion

  • IgG protease (on pSB1A3)
  • yCCS A (on pSB1C3)
  • yCCS B (on pSB1C3)
  • SOD (on pSB1C3)
  • pSB1C3 2
  • pSB1A3 2

Only 0.5 μl of FD SpeI to save enzyme, since it is very expensive.

  1. Gentle mixing
  2. Incubation in 37 °C, 15 min
  3. Tubes returned to ice
  4. Promptly proceeded to ligation, without enzyme inactivation or DNA purification.

Ligation

  • pSB1C3 + IgG prot.
  • pSB1A3 + yCCS A
  • pSB1A3 + yCCS B
  • pSB1A3 + SOD

MITF

the vector pRc/CMV and the insert MITF


















- restriction enzyme

  • the PCR products (from 2010-08-02) are treated with the restriction enzyme AgeI
    • the mutated MITF should show two bands: ~1300bp and ~10bp (which you dont see)
    • the control (non-mutated) MITF should show three bands: ~1060bp, ~200bp and ~10bp (which you don't see)

Overnight culture of Tyrosinase

I inoculated Tyrosinase in its original vector from a glycerol stock (that was sent to us from iGEM hq) in 12 ml LB and added 24 ul amphicillin (50 mg/ml). This was incubated in 37 °C overnight in shake. This will be mini prepped tomorrow.
