This are all the restriction sites in the ORFs for the Rep and Cap proteins. In the backbone of the pAAV_RC there are more restriction sites in the iGEM standard. These restriction sites should not cause any problems when the insert in cloned into a standard iGEM vector.

An other interesting question is what has been changed in the regulatory region p5. This will be important to determine the sequence that is required for the functional expression of the pAAV-RC.

There seemed to be a nucleotide insertion. But by having a closer look, we recognized that Geneious mis-interpreted the signal at this point. Further on we could validate that YFP was also successfully cloned into this clone. Unfortunately the sequencing of the gene of interest didn't work - neither with the forward, nor with the reverse primer. Their sequences were checked on the order form: Everything OK! <br>

The idea to use a R588L mutation instead of the R588A that is published in the literature was discussed with the supervisers. It was proposed to search for other amino acid exchanges that alter the loop less drastically. For this reason the mutation N587Q was examined for possible restriction sites.

In order to target the EGF-receptor (EGFR/ErbB-1/Her1) an affibody molecule can be fused to the N-terminus of e.g. VP2, which is expressed in trans. The ZEGFR:1907 was chosen for this approach. Because just the amino acid sequence is published by Friedman et al., 2008, the sequence was translated with Mr. Gene's help :) and optimized for mammalian expression. <br>

Thawing HT1080 cells

Investigators: Adrian, Bea, Patrick


  • HT1080 cells were thawed following standard protocols
  • HT1080 passage 3
  • Incubation at 37°C

Investigation of the Kleinschmidt sequencing

Investigator: Volker


The sequence data from VM_2_30.06.-CMV-F and VM_3_30.06.-CMV-F arrived and showed as expected a homologous region with the ORFs of the corresponding VPs.

The process of VPex1, VPex2 and VPex3 sequencing is nearly finished. For further progress the oligos that prime at different locations in the Rap/Cap ORFs are required. The actual progress of the sequencing is shown in the image on the right side:

  • For the sequencing of VPex1 and VPex2 one further read will be required to achieve a continuous contig.
  • The sequencing of VPex3 is completed but contains two point mutations.

The investigation of the point mutations revealed that the:

  • first mutation (TAC=>TAT) is silent and codes for Tyrosine. The original codon TAC has a codon usage of 58% in Homo sapiens and 25% in E. coli where as the new codon TAT has a codon usage of 42% in H. sapiens and 75% in E. coli. There for this mutation could be an optimisation of the sequence for an approach to express the VP in E.coli.
  • second mutation (CCG=>CCA) is silent and codes for Proline. The original codon CCG has a codon usage of 11% in H. sapiens and 77% in E.coli weher as the new codon CCA has a codon usage of 27% in H. sapiens and 15%. This mutation would lead to an optimiced expression in human cells.

Therefor the combination of these two "optimized" codon does not make any sense in this combination.

Fluoroscence Pictures of Transduction 3

Investigators: Chris W, Patrick


total celldeath!
Looks like we should not transduce 3x10^5 cells with 1000 µl (or more) of our viral solution because almost all cells died in all approaches and the medium indicator was yellow. So we can not say if resuspendig the cells with the viral soultion is a useful alteration of the standart protocol.

@Chris and Patrick: The cells which has not been resuspended died aswell?? yes (Patrick) ... so u think the volume (1000µL) of the viral stock solution is too high and cell death is not caused by the "rough" reuspension? yes (Patrick) ... Could u maybe upload some pictures even though it did not work, but to documentate it properly!! thx Bea ... No, already thrown away and we could not take good pictures because of very thick bunches of dead cells, results confirmed by Sven (Patrick)

Annotation of the 453 insertion site

The integration site between G453 and T454

Investigators: Patrick & Volker


The 453 insertion site is acoording to [Boucas et al., 2009] a promising alternative to the 585/588 integration site. The Peptides were integrated between the 453 Glycine and the 454 Threonine. This risidues were annotated in the gene maps (Genious) and visualized in the 3D structure (PyMOL).








Searching new restriction sites in the 585/588 WT loop

Investigator: Volker


The sequence of the major site for peptide integration into the capsid proteins was extracted from the viral sequence and pasted into the program DNA 2.0. In an first atempt the 4 amino acids that form the loop (5' - RGNR - 3') were used with the two flanking amino acids from the wild type sequence on each side. The goal of this theoretical investigation is to use alternative codons to insert restriction sites into the wild type loop to make later cloning easier. This was repeated in an second atempt with five flanking amino acids but did not reveal additional useful restriction sites.

Informations for the restriction enzymes were looked up in the [http://www.neb.com/nebecomm/products/category1.asp?#2 NEB Product catalogue].

Search for restriction sites in the 585/588 WT loop sequence

The three restriction sites are:

BbvI restriction site: Recognized sequence:
5'- GCAGC(N)8^ -3'
3'- CGTCG(N)12^ -3'
Sites found in pAAV_RC at position:

  • 17 times in the ORFs of Rep & Cap => can't be used

BstEII restriction site: Recognized sequence:
5'- G^GTNACC -3'
3'- CCANTG^G -5'

  • There is only one BstEII restriction site in the vector that we want to use to insert the fragment (x-x)
  • The cutting site could be removed => theoretically useful restriction site.
  • Location fits nearly perfect because peptids ae usually integrated before the R585.


PstI restriction site Recognized sequence:
5'- CTGC^AG -3'
3'- G^ACGTC -5'

  • PStI is part of the iGEM standard and can't be used for this purpose.

Searching new restriction sites in the 585/588 KO loop

Search for restriction sites in the 585/588 KO loop sequence

Investigator: Volker


PstI restriction site Recognized sequence:
5'- CTGC^AG -3'
3'- G^ACGTC -5'

  • PStI is part of the iGEM standard and can't be used for this purpose.

Summary: There is no codon combination availible to encode the promising BstEII restriction site in this R585A_R588A_KO sequence.









Searching new restriction sites in the 453 loop

Search for restriction sites in the 453 loop sequence

Investigator: Volker


KpnI restriction site Recognized sequence:
5'- GGTAC^C -3'
3'- C^CATGG -5'
Sites found in pAAV_RC at position:

  • 1721 and 3973
  • first restriction site could be replace without problem becauce it lies in the region that will be synthesized to replace the three iGEM restriction sites in the Rep ORF.
  • Restriction site is potentially useful

AvaI restriction site Recognized sequence:
5'- C^YCGRG -3'
3'- GRGCY^C -5'
Sites found in pAAV_RC at position:

  • six times in the ORFs of Rep and Cap => can't be used

DraIII restriction site Recognized sequence:
5'- TTT^AAA -3'
3'- AAA^TTT -5'
Sites found in pAAV_RC at position:

  • 1181 (Rep ORF)
  • 2893 (Cap ORF)
  • 4463 (short after the Cap ORF)
  • 4930 (f1 ORI)


AvaII restriction site Recognized sequence:
5'- G^GWCC -3'
3'- CCWG^G -5'
Sites found in pAAV_RC at position:

  • eight times in the ORFs of Rep and Cap => can't be used

Summary: The KpnI restriction site seems to be a good possibility to make the 453 insertion site ready for easy integration of peptides.
Especially the position where the cut is performed is ideal for our purpose because peptides are usually integrated after the Glycine 453 as described for example in [Boucas et al.; 2009].

48.Labortag 03.07.2010

Planing the gene synthesis to replace the three restriction sites in the rep ORF

Investigator: Volker

The construct pAAV_RC that we have bougth from Stratagene will be a central part of our Virus construction kit and therefor it has to be cleared from restriction sites that are used in the iGEM-standard.
There are five iGEM restriction sites in the pAAV-RC:

  • PstI at position (310)
  • EcoRI at position (1578)
  • PstI at position (1773)
  • EcoRI at position (1796)
  • PstI at position (4073)

The relative location to each other and other planed modifications in this sequence make it reasonable to replace the PstI (310) and PStI (4073) with site directed mutagenesis and to order a synthesis of the region with the three other restriction sites.

The primers for the site directed mutagenesis were designed:

Designed Primer: SDM PstI (310)

  • PstI at position (310)
    • Recognized sequence: 5'- CTGC^AG -3'
    • The codon 5'- CTG - 3' will be replaced by 5'- CTC -3'
    • Both codons encode Leucine. The condon usage in H. sapiens decreases from 36% to 20%

5'- CTGACCGTGGCCGAGAAGCTCCAGCGCGACTTTCTGACGGA - 3'


Designed Primer: SDM PstI (4073)

    • Recognized sequence: 5'- CTGC^AG -3'
    • The codon 5'- CTG - 3' will be replaced by 5'- CTC -3'
    • Both codons encode Leucine. The condon usage in H. sapiens decreases from 36% to 20%

5'- CGTGGAGATCGAGTGGGAGCTCCAGAAGGAAAACAGCAAACGCTGG -3'

Restriction sites of the RFC25 standard located in the Rep ORF shown in dark blue and single cuting restriction endunucleases shown in light blue

The region with the three restriction sites that are located near to each other is show in the picture above. The restriction sites indicated in light blue are single cutters and can therefor be use to clone the synthesized fragment into the original sequence of pAAV-RC.
For this purpose the restriction sites BstBI (1435) and SwaI (2004) will be used because they are availible in the lab stock and have 100% fidelity in one of the NEB buffers.
The required construct with four flanking base pairs on each side will be 583 bp long.


  • EcoRI at position (1578)
    • Recognized sequence: 5'- G^AATTC -3'
    • The codon 5'- GAA -3' will be replaced by 5'- GAG -3'
    • Both codons encode Glutamic acid. The codon usage in H.sapiens increases from 41% to 59%.
  • PstI at position (1773)
    • Recognized sequence: 5'- CTGC^AG -3'
    • The codon 5'- TGC - 3' will be replaced by 5'- TGT -3'
    • Both codons encode Cysteine. The condon usage in H. sapiens decreases from 58% to 42%
  • EcoRI at position (1796)
    • Recognized sequence: 5'- G^AATTC -3'
    • The codon 5'- AAT -3' will be replaced by 5'- AAC -3'
    • Both codons encode for Asparagine. The codon usage in H. sapiens increases from 44% to 56%.

This are all the restriction sites in the ORFs for the Rep and Cap proteins. In the backbone of the pAAV_RC there are more restriction sites in the iGEM standard. These restriction sites should not cause any problems when the insert in cloned into a standard iGEM vector. An other interesting question is what has been changed in the regulatory region p5. This will be important to determine the sequence that is required for the functional expression of the pAAV-RC.

Modification of the Cap genes

Investigator: Volker

The HSPG-binding-motif can be knocked out by the two mutations R585A and R588A.

The sequence 5'-CTC CAG AGA GGC AAC AGA CAA -3' codes in the pAAV-RC construct for the amino acids LQRGNRQ.
In order to achieve the recommanded mutation the sequence has to be changed to: 5'-CTC CAG GCT GGC AAC GCT CAA -3'
which codes for LQAGNAQ.

The problem is that in this R585A R588A KO version there is no possible codon usage to encode a BstEII restriction site that would make it possible to integrate peptides in an easy fashion.
An R585A R588L KO version would contain the BstEII restriction site and could be a possible alternative to the R585A R588A KO version.

Questions to adress on monday:

  • Is the proposed R585A_R588L_KO mutation possible?
  • Are iGEM standard vectors availible that do not contain KpnI and BstEII?

Cellculture

Investigators: Patrick, Chris W.

HT1080 cells were split. Deviations from the standart protocol: The cells were centrifuged with 2000 G instead of 200 G. Then the cells were put into the incubator for 4 hours and then examined again. It seems that most of them survived this mistake.

The 293 cells were checked for cell density. They will be >70% confluent tomorrow and therefore transfected.

49.Labortag 04.07.2010:

Transfection nr.3

Investigators: Chris W, Patrick
Transfection with P41 was performed according standart protocol. Two transfektions where carried out with 10µg (3,33 µg each plasmid) DNA and the other two with 20µg DNA (6,66 µg each plasmid).

50.Labortag 05.07.2010:

Sequencing of pAAV_iGEM-mVenus-YFP

Investigator: Hanna
Alignment of sequenced hGH region with pAAV_iGEM_mVenus-YFP delivered following picture:

Freiburg10 hGHsequencing.JPG

There seemed to be a nucleotide insertion. But by having a closer look, we recognized that Geneious mis-interpreted the signal at this point. Further on we could validate that YFP was also successfully cloned into this clone. Unfortunately the sequencing of the gene of interest didn't work - neither with the forward, nor with the reverse primer. Their sequences were checked on the order form: Everything OK!
To do: Repeat sequencing of GOI!

Dirty and fancy method for ITR BioBrick production

Investigator: Hanna
A new strategy for ITR BioBrick production was figured out. This method does NOT require any PCR steps! :)
We want to take advantage of the fact, that the ITRs are flanked by NotI and PstI.
"Short version" of the strategy:

  • Digestion of pAAV_MCS with AlwNI. Result: one large fragment (2982 bp) with right ITR; one small fragment (1674 bp) with left ITR.
  • Separate fragments via gel run.
  • Digest them with NotI and PstI.
  • Präfix and suffix oligos were designed. They need to be hybridized and ligated to the left and right ITR with several intermediate steps (subcloning into pSB1C3 etc.). The oligos posess compatible overhangs to the PstI and NotI restriction sites of the ITR but do not generate new restriction sites after ligation!
  • For detailed instruction, check up here: File:Freiburg10 ITRBioBrick dirty fancy.pdf


Beta-globin BioBrick production

Investigator: Hanna
The beta-globin sequence (pAAV_MCS) contains no iGEM-restriction sites. Therefore we decided NOT to order the sequence, but to perform a PCR with RFC10 overhang primers:

hGH BioBrick production

Investigator: Hanna
The hGH sequence (pAAV_MCS) contains no iGEM-restriction sites. Therefore we decided NOT to order the sequence, but to perform a PCR with RFC10 overhang primers:

Repetition of ITR restriction site modification via PCR

Investigator: Achim, Chris

  • experiment date: 5.7.2010
    • Because the previous attempt to replace the PSTI and NOTI restriction sites in the ITRs with the IGEM standard were unsucessful, new, longer primers were designed an ordered.

    Search for restriction sites in the sequence LQA/RGQA/RQA

    Investigator: Volker

    The idea to use a R588L mutation instead of the R588A that is published in the literature was discussed with the supervisers. It was proposed to search for other amino acid exchanges that alter the loop less drastically. For this reason the mutation N587Q was examined for possible restriction sites.

    Harvesting AAVs from 4 10cm dishes, Transduction of 3x6er dishes

    Investigators: Adrian, Anna, Bea, Kerstin

    We want to investigate which of the following approaches yields a better transduction efficiency.

    • Half of the transfected cells were exposed 3 cycles of thawing and freezing and then centrifuged (15 ml falcon, 2100G). The supernatant was transfered into a new 15 ml falcon and used for transduction.
    • The other half was centrifuged at 300 G for 5min . The supernatant was transfered into another 15 ml falcon and the pellet was resuspended with 5 ml of DMEM. The content of these two falcons was also exposed to 3 cycles of thawing and freezing and then used for transduction.


    • We have got 2 10 cm cellculture dishes with 10µg and 2 dishes with 20µg DNA used for transfection.

    Approach with standart protocol (one dish with 10 and the other with 20µg Plasmids)(2100 G and 3 cycles of freezing and thawing)


    Deviations from the standart protocol:

    • The cells were centrifuged at 2100 G instead of 10.000 G
    • The viruses were harvested after 44 hours
    • 3 cycles of freezing and thawing

    Search for restriction sites around the 453 and 585/588 integration sites

    Investigator: Volker

    For this purpose a list of all commercially availible restriction enzymes was created that do not match in the ORFs of pAAV-RC.

    Search for restriction sites in the sequence LQA/RGQA/RQA

    Investigator: Volker

    The idea to use a R588L mutation instead of the R588A that is published in the literature was discussed with the supervisers. It was proposed to search for other amino acid exchanges that alter the loop less drastically. For this reason the mutation N587Q was examined for possible restriction sites.

    Sequencing of GIO

    Investigator: Hanna
    Comments: Neither sequencing with forward nor with reverse primer (O29 + O30) worked. Therefore P40 (pAAV_iGEM_mVenus-YFP) was sent for sequencing once again.

    • Name: Hanna P40
    • V (P40) = 11 µL + 19 µL H2O
    • Name of primer forward: Hanna 1 (O30)
    • Name of primer reverse: Hanna 2 (O29)
    • V(primer) = 3 µL + 27 µL H2O

    Checking the results of the following sequencing reactions for the expression constructs from the DKFZ

    Investigator: Volker


    pKEX-VP1ex: sequence confirmed as described in [Name et al.,] with two pointmutations (ACG=>GCG) and (ATG=>CTG) to avoid the translation of VP2 and VP3.

    pKEX-VP2ex: sequence confirmed as described in [Name et al.,] with one mutation (ATG=>CTG) to avoid the translation of VP3 and a second mutation (AAGACG=>CATATG) to switch to the main start codon ATG and to introduce a restriction site (which one??) before the start codon.

    pKEX-VP3ex: sequence confirmed as described in [Name et al.,] with two silent pointmutations and a second mutation to introduce a restriction site before the start codon.

    pKEX-Rep40ex: Sequence as expected until now, further sequencing reaction required with the primer: GATC_std_pTeSp-1

    pKEX-Rep52ex: Point mutation directly at the beginning of the exon sequence, perhaps functionality in this context? At the end of the sequence some umcertainities. For the beginning further sequencing reaction required with the primer: GATC_std_pTeSp-1


    pKEX-Rep68ex: One point mutation in the second condon that changes the coded amino acids from P to A, a second mutation (ATG=>GGG) at the beginning of the Rep40/Rep52 ORFs to avoid the translation of these sequences and a silent mutation. One further sequencing reaction is required with the primer: GATC_std_pcDNA1.1-RP.

    pKEX-Rep78ex: One point mutation in the second condon that changes the coded amino acids from P to A, a second mutation (ATG=>GGG) at the beginning of the Rep40/Rep52 ORFs to avoid the translation of these sequences, a silent mutation and the same point mutation at the beginning of the exon as seen before in pKEX-Rep52ex.

    FACS analysis of different treated HT1080 cells was done (18 samples)

    The first percentage refers to the living and fluorescent cells and the second percentage to the total amout of living cells.

    The data are listed this way:

    1. Plate I(A is up)

    A1A2A3
    B1B2B3

    1= Plate 1 A1 : 0% YFP-positive Cells (there were only a few cells in this sample)
    2= Plate 1 A2 : 27,7% YFP-positve Cells from 73,3%
    3= Plate 1 A3 : 17,3% " from 63,1%
    4= Plate 2 A1 : 32,9% " from 75,3%
    5= Plate 2 A2 : 27,2% " from 76,5%

    17= Plate 3 B2 : 20,8% " from 75,7%
    18= Plate 3 B3 : 0,07% " from 84,8%

    The calculated value written into the table describes the fluorescent amount of cells from the living cells. Example: 1 A2 : 27,7% YFP-positve cells of 73,3% living cells : 27,7/73,3 = 0,378

    600µl dropped 0,266600µl resuspended 0,275 control 8,3x10^-4


    Conclusions

    • Higher amounts of Plasmids (24, 30µg) seems to have no obvious effect on YFP expression
    • Theres no difference in YFP expression comparing resuspended samples to not resuspended samples
    • The amount of dead HT cells is about 25%, it is not clear if it is either AAV induced or mechanic stress (Trypsin, washing procedure)

    Next steps:

    • does the amount of GOI (ng plasmids) has an effect on YFP expression
    • compare transduced to non transduced cells (vitality), or in other words is the mechanic stress responsible for 25% dead cell ratio?
    • comparison of transduction efficiency of different virus stock production routines

    2nd try: First steps in producing ITR BioBricks via Fancy Method

    Investigator: Hanna

    Unfortunately it turned out, that the digestion step of the 1st try didn't work: After the transformation very much colonies grew on the plates. Sequencing delivered, that survival of the bacteria was due to re-ligated vector... Therefore the whole experiment will be performed again today.

    Continuation of Fancy ITR-method

    Investigator: Hanna

    Trafo

    Trafo was performed following standard protocol. Aberration: Instead of 2 µL, 3 µL DNA was added to BL21 bacteria (50 µL).

    right ITR

    It turned out, that the strategy by digesting pGA14 with XbaI and PstI cannot work. pGA14 needs to be digested with EcoRI and PstI:

    Expected fragment size: ~ 2900 bp

    Gel extraction:
    Sample weight: 170 mg
    Gel extraction was performed following the standard protocol. Abberation: After applying EB-buffer, the column was incubated for two minutes at 50°C.

    DNA concentration: 26.8 ng/µL

    Digestion of pAAV_MCS with NotI and PstI

    In order to create ITRs with NotI and PstI restriction sites, the AlwNI-digestion step was skipped. Therefore 50% of the constructs will also contain the left ITR... this means: picking more colonies and sequencing!

    Gel run: 2% gel, 20 µL sample + 4 µL loading dye (6x); 8µL marker
    Expected fragment size: ~ 150 bp
    Gel run delivered no satisfying results. Therefore the gel was discarded and the strategy changed: The residual right ITR solution of yesterday's elution will be taken for ligation.

    Comments: Sequencing results of cloning experiment performed at 14.-15.07.2010.

    Results: Sequencing reads are good. Cloning of CFP into pSB1C3 can be confirmed. There are no insertions, transitions or deletions in the sequence or the iGEM restriction sites. Using this plasmid in order to create our iGEM BioBricks in RFC10 standard can be confirmed.

    BioBrick production with hGH and beta-globin by cloning it into pSB1C3

    Investigator: Bea
    Plasmid: pSB1C3_CFP
    Plasmid names: pSB1C3 (P51 or P48) and PCR prdouct of hGH and beta-globin

    Comments: While cloning theoretically the hGH PCR product into the vector pSB1C3, it was recognized that the primers that were used for PCR for

    • hGH RFC10 production and
    • beta-globin intron RFC10 production

    do not contain the required "G" at the end of the prefix and the "T" in the suffix add-on in the RFC10 standard. They were already used by performing a PCR with the add-on prefix and suffix primer, but we did not clone it into the pSB1C3 because of the wrong add-on tails. Therefore new primers were designed and ordered.

    Picking clones of pGA14_Präfix-leftITR Trafo

    Investigator: Hanna

    Bacteria also grew on control plates. Control means: Ligation of digested vector (pGA14_Cerulean) without insert (Präfix and left ITR). Therefore it seemed that somehow pGA14 religated (Can't be if vector digested completely). Therefore 10 colonies were picked, in order to increase the chance to get a successfully ligated plasmid.

    17 µl of the mastermix were pipetted to 3 µl plasmid sample. Digestion time: 75 minutes.

    Gelrun (1% Agarose), 55 minutes, 115 mV: Results: See picture. Interpretation of the results: ? The "upper" DNA seems to be undigested vector underneath the probably digested vector with an estimated size of about 5600 bp. The mutual insert (mgmk_tk30) should be about 1700 bp. There are probably several DNA coil structures visible but not our mutual insert. To do : ligate again.

    P62.1 (=left ITR + RFC23-Präfix in pGA14) and P63.1 (= right ITR-Präfix in pGA14) were sequenced:

    Sequencing results of pGA14_lITR-RFC23Präfix.
    Sequencing results of pGA14_rITR-RFC10Präfix).



    Sequencing delivered, that the präfixes were fused successfully to the ITRs. The mismatch (orange box) was due to the alignment with the RFC10 präfix... (oligos were ordered!), what means, that the sequencing is OK.
    Interestingly it seems, that not only we had problems with PCR of the ITR -> Very strong secondary structures. Even sequencing of the ITRs seems impossible under normal conditions: Exactly at the point where the ITR sequence starts the sequencing signal delivered no clear results.

    Conclusion: Fancy method worked until now.



    Quantitative real time PCR

    Investigator: Hanna

    Because the non-template control and the not-transduced cell-DNA controls delivered positive PCR results for the CMV-promoter, a control qPCR was prepared:
    1. not-transduced cell-DNA controls (K1 and K2) were diluted: 1:100
    2. Oligos (O20, O21) were 1:10 diluted
    3. Master Mix was prepared:

    • 75 µL SYBR Green
    • 39 µL H2O
    • 6 µL Oligos

    4. Pipetting scheme:

    • 1. K1
    • 2. K2
    • 3. NTC1
    • 4. NTC2

    Results of Trafo of cloning pAAV_RC SDM of PstI 310 and 4073

    Investigator: Bea
    Comments: Cloning together of the two site-directed mutagenesis performed with the pAAV_RC

    Results: no clones grown on LB-agar plate, because pAAV_RC was digested with only one blunt-end restriction enzyme. Luckily, th enzyme vut twice, and one time in the Amp gene. Therefore wrong ligation of the two fragments lacked the Amp resistance.


    To do: new cloning together of pAAV_RC PstI 310 and 4073 with TWO other enzymes.

    Results of digestion with XbaI and AgeI of pAAV_RFC25 and PCR with pUB_V5_gmk_tk30

    Digestion of pAAV_RFC25 witth XbaI and AgeI and PCR of pUB_V5_gmk_tk30 with prefix and suffix primer in RFC25 standard loaded on 1% agarose gel.


    Result: Gel was loaded with 50µL of pCR product and 20µL of pAAV_RFC25 digestion. Expected bands can be seen, but pAAV_RFC25 too high and there are some additional bands. We cut out only the intensive band at around 1700 bp.

    Comment:After a PCR there can be two ways to proceed with the PCR product:

    1. load 7-8µL of PCR sample on an analytical gel and watch agarose gel for additional bands. If there are some more bands than expected load sample on preparative gel.If there aren´t any additional bands. proceed with digestion of PCR product in order to ligate it into vector.
    2. load total PCR sample on preparative gel. Ask Sven or Tobi in which volume you should elute after cutting out the gel (Gel extraction), but you should elute sample at least in 30µL.



    • After gel extraction was performed, concentration of the two constructs was measured and revealed:
      • c(pAAV_RFC25)= 27,33ng/µL
      • c(gmk_tk30)= 24,53ng/µL

    Picking clones of pAAV_RC_1.1

    Investigator: ChrisW, Patrick
    The inoculated agar plates from 'Cloning together of pAAV_RC PstI 310 and 4073 with two enzymes' were checked for colonies. Three clones were picked and in each case inoculated 20 ml DYT + Amp at 10:20.

    Mini prep of two pAAV_RC_SDM_PstI_310_4073. Results: It was checked visually whether enough E. coli BL21 cells had grown. Therefore only two midi preps were carried out, according to the standard protocol (Final elution with 50 µl). Unfortunately both of them yielded a quite low plasmid concentration, probably due to the short growth time (7 h).
    pAAV_RC mini pstI 301,4073: 44,7 ng/µl
    pAAV_RC mini 2 pstI 301,4073: 83,1 ng/µl

    30 µl of both plasmids were sent for sequencing to GATC, named PS1 and PS2. Primers used: GATC_std_PolyC-D and GATC_std_SK.

    Results of Trafo Biobricks of hgH and ß-Globin

    Investigator: Anissa, Bea

    Comments: No clones of pSB1C3_hGH and pSB1C3_betaGlobin grown on trafo plate. Possible reason can be the forgotten DYT medium added to the cells after the heat-shock. Cells were incubated at 37°C for 40 minutes without medium and were added afterewards.

    TO DO: Repeat ligation of

    • hgh PCR product and
    • beta-globin PCR product
    with pSB1C3 cut with XbaI and PstI.

    • Measure DNA-concentration with Nanodrop:

    c(pSB1C3) = 38,9 ng/µL
    c(ß-Globin) = 51,93 ng/µL
    c(hgH)= 36,87 ng/µL

    • Calculation of volume needed for ligation:

    c(pSB1C3) = 3,8 µL
    c(ß-Globin) = 5,2 µL


    c(pSB1C3) = 3,8 µL
    c(hgH) = 5,2

    Attention: There was not enough cut vector. In both Ligations were only 2,2 µl of vector added. So incubation lasted 15 minutes and for transformation 4 µl were used.

    Clone picking from pSB1C3_hgH and pSB1C3_betaglobin

    Investigator: Bea

    Comments: Clones were very small and not many clones could be detected. Possible reasons:
    1) The ratio for a proper ligation need to be 3:1 insert: vector. There was not enough plasmid of the digested vector pSB1C3.
    2) The digested fragments of the PCR products hGH and beta-globin and the cutted vector were stored at -20°C. This could lead to the bad results of the transformation, because the overhangs were degraded.


    Two clones were picked of each trafo plate:

    • pSB1C3_hGH
    • pSB1C3_betaglobin

    They were inoculated in 10mL DYT medium containing 10µL chloramphenicol and put into 37°C room for incubating. The reason for picking only two clones was that not many more clones could be detected easily.

    Oligos were ordered to modify hTERt promoter in order to obtain hTERT in the iGEM RFC10 standard.

    Ordered oligos at Sigma-Aldrich for amplifying hTERT promoter.



    Retrafo with pTVvector containing the CMV promoter

    Investigator: Bea

    Comments: In order to obtain the CMV promoter in the correct RFC10 standard, oligos werde designed and ordered. For using the plasmid obtained from the iGEM team 2008, a retrafo has to be performed.

    Re-transformation:

    • Construct used: expressionvector + CMV (BBa_TV_CMV)
      • clone 7
      • clone 8
    • concentration measureed with NanoDrop:
      • clone 7 (Bba_TV_VMV_7): c = 334, 65 ng/µL
      • clone 8 (Bba_TV_VMV_8): c = 183,77 ng/µL
    • Plasmid need to be diluted in order to obatain the final 100pg.
    • Dilution: 1:1000
    • Volume needed of 1:1000 dilution of each clone:
      • clone 7 (Bba_TV_VMV_7): v = 0,29 µL
      • clone 8 (Bba_TV_VMV_8): v = 0,54 µL
    • 100 µL aliquot of XL1-B were thawed on ice and divided into 50µL each. The proper amount of each clone was added.

    Site-directed mutagenesis of pAAV_RC_PstI_310+4073 (pAAV_RC_1.1) with BamHI and SalI

    Investigator: Adrian, Bea

    Comments: Site-directed mutagenesis was perfomed with pAAV_RC_PstI_310+4073 (pAAV_RC_1.1) in order to delete BamHI and SalI in the plasmid. These restriciton sites need to be removed because they are the single-cutter in the loops which will be used for targeting.


    Protocol: Different PCR programs were used for performing the Quickchange site-directed mutagenesis protocol.

    1. Longer elongation/extension time
    2. Shorter elongation/extension time


    1. PCR reaction with PCR program with longer elongation time:

    DNA template used: pAAV_RC_PstI_310+4073 (pAAV_RC_1.1) = P87
    A dilution of 1:20 was prepared and it was calculated the amount of DNA template needed for each site-directed mutagenesis reaction.

    Summary: Four site-directed mutagenesis have been performed with the plasmid pAAV_RC_PstI_310+4073 (pAAV_RC_1.1) = P87.

    • Site-directed mutagenesis in order to delete restriction site BamHI
      • with shorter elongation time (modified protocol)
      • with longer elongation time
    • Site-directed mutagenesis in order to delete restriction site SalI
      • with shorter elongation time (modified protocol)
      • with longer elongation time
    • The samples were digested with 0,5µL DpnI after site-directed mutagenesis were performed in order to remove bacterial DNA template.
    • Trafos have been performed with all four samples. Trafo plates are containing ampicillin.

    Repetition of PCR for hGH BioBrick Production

    Investigator: Bea

    Comments: Sequencing of pSB1C3_hGH did not reveal any insertion of hGH into pSB1C3. Instead of hGH CFP was found in the vector indicating that undigested or partially digested vector religated. Therefore a new pCR for generating the BioBrick was performed over night.

    Proceed with BioBrick Production of hGH and beta-globin

    Investigator: Bea

    Comments: PCR was started yesterday and conducted over night.

    Proceeding:

    • Prepare 1% agarose gel and load samples on gel.
    • Run time: 45 minutes


    Result of gel:

    Marker did not resolute very good. Expected sizes of PCR products:

    • hGH = 510 bp
    • beta globin intron: 524 bp

    It can be seen (or estimated) that two intensive bands are visible at around 500 bp. Therefore these two bands were cut out and a gel extraction was performed. The lower visible band at around 100 bp of hGH is an additional band generated at the pCR reaction. The two intensive blurred bands belong to the loading dye added to the samples.

    Result of gel:

    The vector was digested with XbaI and PstI. Expected sizes have been:

    • pSB1C3 = 2072bp
    • CFP: 732bp

    It can be seen that the vector pSB1C3_RFC25_CFP was digested and two visible bands can be seen on the gel. The lower band corresponds to the CFP fragment (~700 - 800 bp), the higher band corresponds to the plasmid backbone at around 2000-3000 bp. The higher band was cut out and extracted by gel extraction.

    Results of ITR Trafo

    Investigator: Hanna

    Because (as mentioned above) there was a bacteria lawn on the right-ITR plate and many colonies on the left-ITR plate three different approaches were performed:

    1. Trafo of rightITR-RFC25_pGA14 and leftITR-Präfix_pGA14 was conducted one more time:

    Abberances:

    • 3µL DNA-sample was added to 50 µL cells (BL21).
    • Cells were incubated on ice for just 10 minutes.
    • Heat shock: 42 seconds at 42°C.
    • Incubation for just 35 minutes at 37°C, rotating (800 rpm).
    • Agar plates were prepared with Lab-Ampicillin.

    Incubation at 37°C -> Picking clones in the evening.

    2. Control: Bacteria were taken from the right-ITR-lawn an resuspended in 100 µL DYT. They were plated on "LabAmp-plates" and stored at 37°C.
    -> If something is wrong with our Ampicillin the non-transformed bacteria have progeny-advantages and will crowd out the transformed cells. This means: If there will be no colonies detectable on the new plates, something is wrong with our Ampicillin!
    Analysis: Tonight.

    3. Picking clones of the left ITR plate: Two large and two small clones were picked from the left ITR plate and each was resuspened in 50 µL DYT. An "LabAmp-plate" was quartered and the four resuspened colonies were individualized each on one quarte of the plate.
    Analysis: Tonight.

    Affibody

    Investigator: Hanna
    In order to target the EGF-receptor (EGFR/ErbB-1/Her1) an affibody molecule can be fused to the N-terminus of e.g. VP2, which is expressed in trans. The ZEGFR:1907 was chosen for this approach. Because just the amino acid sequence is published by Friedman et al., 2008, the sequence was translated with Mr. Gene's help :) and optimized for mammalian expression.

    Conclusion: The PCR amplification with designed primers to insert prefix and suffix in RFC25 standard can be verified. No nucleotide transitions can be detected. The prefix and suffix are in the designed standards. Additionally it can be confirmed that the mGMK was inserted successfully into the pAAV_RFC25 plasmid and do NOT contain any iGEM restriction sites When receiving the ordered tk30 from Mr.Gene it can be fused to the mGMK and will the be ready for using and sending to the IGEM registry (maybe this needed to be cloned into pSB1C3).

    No bands can be detected at the expected sizes. The fragment size seems to be inbetween the expectation of either 150 and 750 bp. Further on there is also an additional band visible. Because of that it's not possible to say, whether cloning worked. Therefore the three clones marked in the picture were sent to GATC for sequencing:

Rep 68 contains no PstI restriction sites anymore, while Rep 78 shows one band, which might be due to the additional PstI restiction site.

    Continuation: left ITR

    Investigator: Hanna

    GATC didn't manage to do the sequencing of the left ITR-Präfix construct until now. This can be interpreted as positive news, because this increases the fact that the ITR is in the plasmid (very strong secondary structures!). Therefore cloning will be continued today:

    Continuation: right ITR

    Investigator: Hanna

    Sequencing results delivered that the right ITR was succesfully ligated to the pGA14 plasmid. Unfortunately just about 100 bp were successfully sequenced. Within the ITR region sequencing seemed one more time not to be possible due to the very strong secondary structures which hinder the polymerase to read through. Therefore we can just validate that the ITR with the prefix is inside pGA14, but it's not possible to give a statement about the ITR quality or whether the suffix was successfully fused to the sequence. Theoretically the digested plasmid is not able to religate without ITR and Suffix sequence. But noone knows what our E.colis are able to achieve :)
