Goals For the Week
- Chris & Alex
- need to make 50x TAE
- complete plasmids as far can get w/o kinase and phosphotase
- order DNA sometime this week
- Francisco & Karina
- Run orginal and new designs by Christina
- design standard sRNA designs and place order by the end of the week
2:00 Meeting with Christina (Karina, Francisco, Laura)
to test: sRNA complementary to ID-RBS-scar; another sRNA centered across RBS as control (to see if shifting will affect efficiency of sRNA)
To Do:
- check registry for shorter pBAD promoters? PCR own modified version?
- finalize ID's
- RNA folding: avoid local strong structures, > -10kcal/mol good: look at free energies of individual hairpins
- BLAST to make sure not in E. Coli genome
Alex's Notebook
- Restriction Digests:
- Take the part out completely, and/or take out either prefix or suffix.
- KEEP SOME DNA FOR GEL CONTROL!!!
- 2K3 E/P
- 1A2 E/P
- E0240 1A2; X/P length: 876
- T9002 1A3; E/P length: 1945
Greg's Notebook
- During weekly meeting got up to speed with what the team’s been doing while I was away
- Used heat-shock transformation protocol for DH5alpha to transform with the following genetic material, left to culture overnight:
Function | Part # | Distribution Location | Resistance |

ribosome binding site | B0032 | P1 2I | Amp |
forward double terminator | B0015 | P1 23L | Amp + Kan |

Karina's Notebook
Today's Goal: Digest GFP, RFP, and Terminators. Will do (GFP + T) and (RFP + T) ligations on monday.
Part #'s:
- GFP: E0040 (cut at S and P)
- RFP: E1010 (cut at S and P)
- Term: B1006 (cut at X and P)
Recipe
- 12.0 uL DNA
- 1.0 uL each enzyme
- 5.0 uL NEB buffer 2
- 5 uL BSA (10x)
- Sterile H20 to fill up to 50 uL
Mix and put 37º waterbath for 2 or more hours.
Making Gel
To make 50 mL of 0.8% agarose gel, add:
- .4 g agarose
- 50 mL TAE (1x)
- 10 uL EtBr
Loading the Gel
- add 10 uL loading dye (6x) to digests
- add 40 uL of dye + digests to wells
- don't forget to include wells with controls! (uncut plasmids)
- load 10 uL ladder
- run at 95 V for about an hour
!!note sizes of plasmids/inserts
GFP plasmid (pSB1A2) --> 2079 bp
GFP insert --> 720 bp
RFP plasmid (pSB2K3) --> 4425 bp
RFP insert --> 681 bp
Terminator plasmid (pSB1AK3) --> 3189 bp
Terminator insert --> 39 bp
Gel Results
All bands look fine except for, there were no bands for the terminators. They were so small they ran off the gel. We are considering using PCR purification to isolate these parts.
Gel Extraction
[http://molecool.wustl.edu/krolllab/Kroll_Lab_Protocols/Molecular%20Biology%20protocols/Cloning%20protocols%20folder/Gel%20extraction-Qiagen.pdf Follow QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit Protocol], skip isopropanol step and elute in 50 uL H20.
