June 1/2010

JV quantified the amount of DNA in gels run to date using ImageJ software. Results to be posted in working plasmids box.

Objective: Transform plasmids into DH5α
Method: Follow competent cell transformation protocol to transform the following:
From our ligations:

  • pLacI-sRBS-Lumazine-dT
  • pLacI-sRBS-Lumazine-dT
  • mms6 (A6)
  • mms6 (B6)
  • xylE (C4)
  • xylE (B4)

From the 2010 Parts Distribution:

  • ECFP (Bba_E0020)
  • EYFP (Bba_E0030)
  • BglII Endonuclease (Bba_K112106)

June 2/2010

(In Lab: JV)

Objective: Isolate plasmid DNA of RBS-xylE (BBa_J33204) from DH5α cells and confirm results.

Method: "Mini-prep" the plasmid DNA using boiling lysis miniprep. Then restrict the DNA once and run on a 1% agarose gel (TAE).

† Added 9µL MilliQ H2O
†† Added 8µL MilliQ H2O
Ran gel at 100V from 2 hours.
Results:

100602 JV rbs-xylE.JPG

Conclusions: Plasmid DNA prep and restriction was successful.

Objective: Ligate rbs-xylE (Bba_J33204) to our double terminator, and insert it into the pSB1T3 plasmid backbone.
Method:

  • Restrictions
    • Restrict rbs-xylE wit EcoRI and SpeI (Red Buffer)
    • Restrict the double terminator with XbaI and PstI (Tango Buffer)
    • Restrict pSB1T3 with EcoRI and PstI (Red Buffer)
    Set up reactions as follows:
    ComponentVolume (µL)
    MilliQ H2O15.5
    Buffer2
    pDNA2
    Enzyme0.25 + 0.25

    Set up control reaction as follows:

    • MilliQ H2O - 16µL
    • Buffer - 2µL
    • pDNA - 2µL

    Incubated reactions for 65 minutes at 37oC
    Killed enzymes by incubating reactions for 10 minutes at 65oC

  • Ligation
    Reaction set up as follows:
    • T4 DNA ligase - 0.25µL
    • rbs-xylE - 5µL
    • dT - 3µL
    • pSB1T3 - 8µL
    • 10x Ligation Buffer - 2µL
    • MilliQ H2O - 1.75µL
    Incubated reactions overnight at room temperature (total of 19.5 hours)
    Killed enzymes by incubating reactions for 10 minutes at 80oC</ul>

    June 2/2010 - Evening

    Objective: Set up new ligations of pLacI and sRBS-Lum-dT according to Tom Knight's protocol. Previous ligation had very little DNA.
    Relevant Information:

    • Want a final mass of 25ng of each pDNA in the ligation mix.
    • Final concentration of pDNA in restriction digest should be 25-50ng/µL.
    • Tom Knight's restriction reaction is 50µL, therefore there should be 1000ng pDNA in each restriction digest.
    • Identified the following plasmids in our working plasmids box:
    Common NameLocationConcentration (ng/µL)Volume/rxn (µL)
    pLacI MaxiprepA9990~1
    pLacI (B1)A6440~2
    sRBS-Lum-dT (2)A1965~1
    sRBS-Lum-dT (1)A21145~1
    sRBS-Lum-dT MaxiprepB84780~.2
    sRBS-Lum-dTB74375~.25
    sRBS-Lum-dT (1)G2335~3
    sRBS-Lum-dT (2)G3965~2
    • Make a 1:10 dilution of sRBS-Lum-dt maxiprep (D8) and sRBS-Lum-dT (B7). 0.5µL pDNA in 4.5µL water.
    • Cut pLacI with EcoRI and SpeI
    • Cut sRBS-Lum-dT with XbaI and PstI
    • Cut pSB1T3 with EcoRI and PstI
    • Will have total of 12 ligation reactions, want 12x2µL of pSB1T3 to add to each, therefore want 25µL of pSB1T3.

    Method:
    Restriction

    June 3/2010 - Evening

    Objective: Repeat restriction of pSB1T3 and ligate with pLacI and sRBS-Lum-dT. Previous ligations all used up on gel.
    Method:
    Ligation:
    In a 10µL final volume, add:

    • 2µL of sRBS-Lum-dT component
    • 2µL of pLacI component
    • 2µL of pSB1T3 component
    • 1µL of T4 Buffer
    • 0.25µL of T4 DNA Ligase
    • 2.75µL of MilliQ H2O

    Incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature to ligate
    Incubate for 20 minutes at 80oC to heat kill
    Following ligation, transformed using transformation protocol. Plates incubated in 37oC incubator for 44 hours.
    Results: Only plate pLacI (D6) + sRBS-Lum-dT (G2) + pSB1T3 grew; had 2 colonies. Control plate did not grow, acidentally plated on tetracycline plate instead of ampicillin (pUC19).
    Follow-up: Inoculated 5mL LB media (tetracycline positive) with cells from the transformation plates and incubated at 37oC overnight. (June 5/2010).

    Objective: Ligate pBad-TetR part with fluorescent protein part in pSB1C3 backbone.

    Incubated at 37oC for 75 minutes.

    • Used Red buffer for the EcoRI/SpeI and EcoRI/PstI digests
    • Used Tango buffer for the XbaI/PstI digests
    • Did not heat kill upon removal from incubation, put directly into -20oC fridge.

    Continue Ligation on Saturday (See below).

    June 5/2010

    (In the lab:AS)
    Objective: Ligate restriction products from June 3/2010.
    Relevant information:

    • Have 3 tubes of part 1 (pBad-TetR)
      • In ampicillin backbone
    • Have 10 tubes of part 2 (fluorescent protein - various)
      • In ampicillin backbone
    • Will have 30 combinations
    • Will use pSB1C3 as plasmid backbone
      • Used most of the pSB1T3 and want to save remainder for creating new backbone via PCR.

    Method:
    *Restriction digests were not heat killed after reactions. Freezing probably killed the restriction enzymes, but I will hea kill them at 80oC for 20 minutes anyways prior to adding Ligase.

      • Cool on ice for 10 minutes before adding ligase.

    Looks like everything was restricted. Ligations may work this time.
    Follow-up: Ligation mixtures can be restriction tested and (if cutting works) transformed into DH5α cells.

    Objective: Transform pDNA from distribution plates into DH5α cells to generate glycerol stocks for lab.
    Method:
    Remove DNA from the following locations on the 2010 distributions kits:

    • double terminator (B0010-B0010; AKA B0017) from kit plate 2 well 6K (pSB1A2)

    Method:

    Restriction Digestions

    • Pipetted 15.5µL of water, into 2 reaction tubes (0.6mL) each.
    • Pipetted 2µL of red buffer into each of them.
    • Pipetted 2µL of rbs-xylE plasmid DNA into both tubes, but taking only the thawed liquid on the side.
    • Because this was not proper protocol for aliquoting DNA, we thawed the DNA out completely and then put 2µL more of the rbs-xylE plasmid DNA in.
    • Pipetted 0.25µL of EcoRI enzyme and 0.25µL of SpeI enzyme into the restriction reaction tube.
    • Placed in incubator (37oC) for 1 hour.
    • Placed in ice for 10 minutes.

    Method:

    • Pipette 12.75µL of Milli-Q H2O into 4 mincrocentrifuge tubes.
    • Pipette 2µL of 10X T4-Ligase buffer into all 4 tubes.
    • Pipette 5µL of the RD product into both iGEM ligase tubes and HJ-Lab Ligase tubes.

    Result:The gel "broke" while running. Jeff hypothesized the cause to be excessive heat. However, the DNA was still visible.IMAGE TO COME!!!!

    Objective:Isolate plasmid DNA from DH5α cells.

    Method:The plasmid DNA is:

    • 1)double terminator B0017 (B0010-B0010) from 2010 kit plate 2:6K pSB1A2
    • 2)double terminator B0015 (B0010-B0012) from 2010 kit plate 1:23L pSB1AK2

    This will give us 2 additional dt's (3 total) into our working plasmid box to ligate onto the end of our constructs.

    Used the boiling lysis miniprep protocol and elute with 50µL of Milli-Q H2O with RNAse A.

    These plasmids (labeled 1 & 2 above) are in:

    • working plasmid box: 1). J9 2). J10
    • glycerol sotck 2010 box: 1). F2 2). F3


    DNA was then purified using the protocol for purification of PCR products (BioBasic). DNA was eluted with 35µL of elution buffer.

    • EcoRI + SpeI (new) + Red Buffer
    • EcoRI + PstI + Red Buffer

    • Milli-Q H2O 15.5µL
    • 10X Buffer 2µL
    • pDNA 2µL
    • Enzymes 0.25µL + 0.25µL

    Method: Use the boiling lysis miniprep protocol and pufrify using BioBasic protocol for purification of PCR products.

    Objective: Transform pLacI-sRBS-lumazine synthase-dt into BL21(DE3).

    Method:

    Changes to the protocol include:

    • Added 5µL DNA to 50µL BL21(DE3).
    • Incubated in 500µL SOC instead of 250µL LB
    • incubated for 90 minutes at 37oC at 4:30pm.

    i.e.

    • EcoRI +SpeI (new) cut vs HJ's ligase
    • EcoRI + SpeI (new) cut vs iGEM ligase
    • SpeI (new) cut vs HJ's ligase
    • SpeI (new) cut vs iGEM ligase

    Objective: Adam put in overnight cultures on June 22. I want to extract the plasmid DNA.

    Method:

    • Put in overnight cultures at 8:30pm and taken out at 9:30am next morning.
    • All cultures were DH5α in LB w/ Amp.
    • Cultures were incubated at 37oC.
    • Next morning cultures were "minipreped" using boiling lysis miniprep protocol.


    Results: Will view plasmid DNA extracted, on a 1% agarose gel (1X TAE) run at 100V for an hour.
