| - | ===Meeting June 26===
| + | |
| - | At this moment we have two ideas for develop. We are debating which idea is more feasible.
| + | |
| - | Idea #1: Carlos´s team idea
| + | |
| - | We want to produce Rhamnolipid in bacteria (e.coli) to use it as a biosurfactant.
| + | |
| - | First we have to be sure that our idea is not the same that the idea published in the reference paper.
| + | |
| - | We want to make a biobrick to produce Rh1.
| + | |
| - | We have to see how we can isolate the rhamnolipid, and be sure that the translation is functional.
| + | |

| - | | + | |
| - | Steps to follow:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 1.Amplified the Rhamnosyltransferase 1 complex from Pseudomona Auruginosa to clone the fragment. Size aprox 2.2 Kb.
| + | |
| - | 2.Ligation / Transformation
| + | |
| - | 3.Expression with reporter gen.
| + | |
| - | 4.Isolation
| + | |
| - | 5.Is the protein functional?
| + | |
| - | 6.Make sure that the rhamnolipid is produced in prescence of rhamnose and fatty acid.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Notes:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | We can see the reaction ( enzymatic measure) by spectrometry.
| + | |
| - | See kind of ligation.
| + | |
| - | Decided if we are going to use sticky or blond ends. (Depend on the plasmid).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | But first, before the amplification we need to design our primers.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Primers design:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 1.Check the gene sequence (In GenBank, FASTA format)
| + | |
| - | 2.Check the primer sequence.
| + | |
| - | 3.See kind of cloning.
| + | |
| - | 4.M13 tail for cleavage site.
| + | |
| - | 5.Look for cleavage site inside the rhamnosyltransferase 1 gene for our restriction enzymes. We can´t cut our gene in the process.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | In summary the steps that we need to follow are:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I.Primer design
| + | |
| - | II.PCR or amplification
| + | |
| - | III.Cloning
| + | |
| - | IV.Expression
| + | |
| - | V.Sequencing
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The most important steps are I and II. We need a good primers design and PCR if we want to have successful.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Idea #2
| + | |
| - | Ernesto team´s idea
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Production of Cecropin compound. We want to produce the antibacterial cecropin compound. Naturally is produced by insects and plants.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | We want to use Anopheles gambiae cecropin precursor. The gene is about 550 pb.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The steps to follow are the same in both groups.
| + | |
| - | Both groups have to design the primers, and have all the experimental design for this week.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | 1.The sequence of the interested gene.
| + | |
| - | 2.Design the primers. (50-100pb more at the begging and end of the sequence).
| + | |
| - | 3.Check for cloning sites. Which plasmid we are going to use, identify the restriction enzymes.
| + | |
| - | 4.Assemble the blocks. In paper assemble all the system. Promoter + Ribosomal binding site + interest gene + reporter gene + translation end site.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | All the design has to be on paper to analyze them and decided which idea is going to be the elected one.
