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 Name Location Concentration (ng/µL) Volume/rxn (µL)

pLacI Maxiprep A9 990 ~1

pLacI (B1) A6 440 ~2

sRBS-Lum-dT (2) A1 965 ~1

sRBS-Lum-dT (1) A2 1145 ~1

sRBS-Lum-dT Maxiprep B8 4780 ~.2

sRBS-Lum-dT B7 4375 ~.25

sRBS-Lum-dT (1) G2 335 ~3

sRBS-Lum-dT (2) G3 965 ~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.

Incubated at 37^oC 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 -20^oC 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 80^oC for 20 minutes anyways prior to adding Ligase.

Cool on ice for 10 minutes before adding ligase.

double terminator (B0010-B0012; AKA B0015) from kit plate 1 well 23L (pSB1AK3)

Transform into DH5α cells using transformation protocol, with pUC19 as positive control (1ng/µL), and water as negative control.
Results:

Positive control: TMTC (too many to count) colonies

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 (37^oC) for 1 hour.

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.

Results: IMAGE!!!

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 37_oC.
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.
