Restriction digest 1h, 37°C (10µL of minipreped DNA)


As none of the transformations worked, we want to make sure which step was faulty. We're checking if all of our restriction enzymes work properly.

  • E0240 - SpeI
  • E0240 - PstI
  • E0240 - EcoRI
  • E0240 - XbaI
  • E0240 - XbaI+PstI from 13/07
  • E0240 - SpeI+PstI

Gel electrophoresis (agarose 1,0% w/v, EtB) (verification of the restriction enzymes' activity and the presence of DNA in the gel extraction sample)

Protocol (8 wells)

  • 10 µL of ladder 1Kb
  • 7,5 µL of undigested plasmid (E0240) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x
  • 7,5 µL of digested DNA (E0240 - SpeI) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x
  • 7,5 µL of digested DNA (E0240 - PstI) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x
  • 7,5 µL of digested DNA (E0240 - EcoRI) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x
  • 7,5 µL of digested DNA (E0240 - XbaI) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x
  • 7,5 µL of digested DNA (E0240 - XbaI+PstI) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x
  • 7,5 µL of digested DNA (E0240 - SpeI+PstI) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x
  • 7,5 µL of gel extraction DNA (E0240 - XbaI+PstI) + 1,5 µL of loading buffer 6x

Migration : 50V, 1h00

All the enzymes seem to work correctly. Our problem is probably the DNA yield after all the steps : not enough DNA extracted by minipreps -> no DNA visible by electrophoresis after gel extraction !

Transformation


Transformation into TOP10 - Plating 100µL of each on the plates (Amp) - Incubation overnight :

  • Product of ligation Plux(R0062) + RBS-GFP-term.(E0240) in Top10 cells from the NEW box
  • Product of ligation LuxI(K01008) + double term.(B0015) in Top10 cells from the NEW box
  • reference plasmid pUC19 in Top10 cells from the NEW box
  • reference plasmid pUC19 in Top10 cells from the OLD box


Transformation into TOP10 - Plating 100µL of each on the plates (Kan) - Incubation overnight :

  • Product of ligation attC + term.-attC-mRFP in Top10 cells from the NEW box
