=== Karina's Notebook ===

 +
Goal: We couldn't extract the terminators because they were too small and ran off the gel. After discussing with Laura and Francisco, we decided to clone GFP and RFP into the plasmid in which the terminators come (pSB1AK3). <br/><br/>
 +
 
 +
'''Make BSA'''
 +
*BSA comes as 100x
 +
*made 1 mL of 1x solution by adding 900uL H20 and 100 uL BSA <br/><br/>

'''Cut the GFP and RFP linearized plasmid (prev. cut at S and P) at EcoRI restriction site '''
 +
*used recipe as described on [[Team:Stanford/Notebook/Lab_Work/Week_2 | July 9, 2010]]
 +
*only used 1 enzyme, therefore used 27 uL H20

 +
 
 +
''Observations/Troubleshooting'':<br/>
 +
*no DNA bands for GFP<br/>
 +
** not enough DNA?<br/>
 +
** will double DNA concentration during digests<br/>
 +
*bands are too large to be RFP

**leave digests overnight

 +
Total Volume: 50 uL<br/>

We used twice as much DNA than the usual protocol because our DNA concentrations from the minipreps were very low. <br/>

Christopher's Notebook

  • Run Gel of Restricted Digested RBS+GFP+Terminators (I746908 partial)
  • Gel Extract
  • Run Gel of Gel Extracted Digest Products from Friday: 
 3C5     E/P 2738 bp (buffer 3)
F2620   E/S (on pSB1A2) 1061 bp
  • I746908 E/P (on psb1A2) 2093 bp-can’t separate
  • B0034 X/P (on psb1A2) 12 bp-do NOT run on gel
  • J23100 E/S (on psb1A2) 35 bp-do NOT run on gel

Karina's Notebook

Goal: We couldn't extract the terminators because they were too small and ran off the gel. After discussing with Laura and Francisco, we decided to clone GFP and RFP into the plasmid in which the terminators come (pSB1AK3).

Make BSA

  • BSA comes as 100x
  • made 1 mL of 1x solution by adding 900uL H20 and 100 uL BSA

Cut the GFP and RFP linearized plasmid (prev. cut at S and P) at EcoRI restriction site

  • used recipe as described on July 9, 2010
  • only used 1 enzyme, therefore used 27 uL H20
  • put in waterbath at 10:30 am, and plan to take out after lunch.

Results of diagnostic gel

left to right: 1 kb ladder, GFP plasmid (cut at S, P), RFP plasmid (cut at S, P), GFP plasmid (cut at S, P, and cut again at E), RFP plasmid (cut at S, P, and cut again at E) Note: GFP lanes have no visible bands

Observations/Troubleshooting:

  • no DNA bands for GFP
    • not enough DNA?
    • will double DNA concentration during digests
  • bands are too large to be RFP
    • possible partial digest?
    • leave digests overnight


Digests
Digest miniprepped GFP, RFP and Terminators.

  • Cut GFP and RFP at E and S
  • Cut terminators at E and X

Recipe

  • 25 uL DNA
  • 1.0 uL enzyme 1
  • 1.0 uL enzyme 2
  • 5.0 uL NEB Buffer 2
  • 5.0 uL BSA (10x)
  • 13 uL H20

Total Volume: 50 uL
We used twice as much DNA than the usual protocol because our DNA concentrations from the minipreps were very low.
Prepared 3 reactions for each RSID; ran 6 PCR reactions total. Ran digests overnight

Francisco's Notebook

  • Reran the diagnostic gel (see Karina's Notebook):
left to right: 1 kb ladder, GFP and RFP plasmid (cut at S, P), GFP and RFP plasmid (cut at S, P, and also at E) Note: GFP lanes now have (faintly) visible bands
  • Lessons learned:
    • When loading small volumes, use narrow wells.
    • When suspecting there are no bands, increase the exposure time to confirm.

Greg's Notebook

  • Ran gel with pSB3c5, F2620, I746908
    • I746908 didn't work, extracted pSB3c5 and F2620
  • Worked on MDV powerpoint presentation
  • Ran diagnostic gel of gel extraction results
    • pSB3c5 worked, F2620 left only a faint line
  • With Alex, miniprepped pSB1k3, I746908, I0500
  • Performed nanodrop on miniprep:
part # 280 230 concentration (ng/uL)
I0500r 1.87 1.28 62.5
pSB1k3 1.81 1.14 67.6
I746908 1.89 1.73 175.7
  • Digested more F2620, pSB3c5, and I0500. Also digested 3 superfolded GFP inserts

7/13 Tuesday

Alex's Notebook

Note: for PCR of I746908: after first gel of PCR product, gel extract, and then do a restriction digest. After restriction digest, do a reaction cleanup; pieces are ready for ligation.

Laura's Notebook

  • restreaked plates from 7/1/10 (with Karina)
  • for each plate, pick 8 colonies and streak, starting at the center of the "pie piece," and working towards the perimeter of the plate

7/15 Thursday

Alex's Notebook

Check plates; streak new ones; back dilute for a third time. Practice PPT for MDV

7/16 Friday

Recap Meeting Notes

  • No recap meeting- presented at MDV this morning.


Alex's Notebook

Due Monday morning: Cloning scheme; check list on wiki for Christina and Drew. Create a timeline for our own use. Deadlines as well.

Francisco's Notebook

  • Ran a diagnostic gel of the digestion done on Wednesday
    • GFP and RFP plasmids (cut at E, S); Term plasmid (cut at E, X):
left to right: 1 kb ladder, RFP (cut at E, S), GFP (cut at E, S), Term (cut at E, X). Notes: Loaded every other lane, RFP lane has extremely faint band (but not visible in this image). Ran at 95V for 45 min.
  • Results: the terminator backbone has a bright band, but the gel extracted GFP and RFP inserts had very faint bands (low concentrations). When we ligate, we may need to use larger volumes of the inserts.

Chris's Notebook

  pBAD+sfGFP+psb3C5

Ligation (20 μl reaction volume):

  • DNA vector 250-500 ng (5 ul of vector)
  • Insert 5-20x of vector (equal amounts 5 ul of each insert)
  • 10x buffer 2 μl
  • Ligase 1 μl
