1. Cap-Gen:  
-
*Centrifuge tubes prior to open tubes (13.000 rpm, 30 sec)
+
* delete the PstI-restriction site
-
**MCS RFC25 for pAAV (forward): Add 92µL Millipore H<sub>2</sup>O (Volume on obtained sheet)

* insert the antibody fragment (targeting): sequence? in which part of VP1? (Patrick)
-
**MCS RFC25 for pAAV (reverse): Add 394 µL Millipore H<sub>2</sup>O (Volume on obtained sheet)
+
* add prefix & suffix
-
*Vortex the resuspended DNA
+
* disable binding of Heparan Sulphat Proteoglycan
-
*Make aliquots of both Oligos (1:10): 10 µL Oligo + 90 µLH<sub>2</sup>O (final volume usually 100 µl)

-
** -1°C R=0.3 °/s

** Goto 2 rep 74

* we blasted the ITR (left) of the MCS vektor (Stratagene). we got a 92% "Coverage" with the AAV2 genom (to 100%). from the alignment (Stratagene ITR with ITR of the AAV2 genom) we got:<br>

[[File:Freiburg10 ITR(left)-Stratagene vs. ITR AAV2.jpg|500x500px|]]
 +
You can see, that the ITR sequence beginns 4 bp after the PstI restriction site. thereupon we did a secundary structure analyse (www.dinamelt.bioinfo.rpi.edu), with the following structurewe got: <br>
 +
[[Media:Freiburg10_AAV2ITR(left)nachBlast.pdf]] <br>
 +
conclusion: the big loop of the secondary structure dosent change if we delete the PstI restriction site (cf. with other uploadet secondary structures), it should be considered that we can't add random bp that could affect the secundary structure. <br>

4. MCS:
-
following standard protocol for cloning.

* replacement through the iGEM-MCS
 +
* where is the beginning and ending of the MCS in the Vector? ß-globin function and sequence (search for literature and patents, which are denoted in the AAV-Helper-Free-System Manual)
 +
* in this context it would be also important to find out where the beta-Globulin-Intron exactly starts or rather we can cut out the MCS.

'''Practical work:''' <br>
+
We blasted the sequence of the β-globin and additional nukleotides „vorne und hintendran“.
-
Control plate contained no clones. :)
+
We found only 70% coverage with the human β-globin-intron add. some parts of the exon 3.
-
4 colonies were picked and grown @ 37°C over night.
+
For this reason we think that the pAAV_MCS annotation of the β-Globin-intron of Stratagene is too generously.<br>
-
<br>
+
In addition the alignment of the human ß-globin showed that only parts of the intron 2 (5’) and exon 3 are integratet into the vector.
-
'''Theoretical work:'''<br>
+
We assume that the informations from Stratagene are not total correctly ( intron flanket by the splicedonors and the acceptor-sequence).
-
Oligos for site directed mutagenesis of the NotI restriction sites in pAAV_MCS (ITRs) were designed:[[File:Freiburg10 NotI ITR Oligos.pdf]]
+
We blasted the sequence between the CMV-promoter and the origin beginning of the ß-globin intron.
 +
We found a 98,8% coverage with a synthetic CMV-promoterconstruct ( 1 nucleotide difference).
 +
Literature: „Diverse plasmid DNA vectors by directed  molecular evolution of cytomegalovirus promoters. (Wright A. et al.)“<br>
 +
→The question arises if we can omit the ß-globin (because the exact function is unknown).
 +
For this we should contact various Companys (GeneArt, DNA2.0, Mr. Gene,…) to get more information.
 +
In addition we could test the expression with and without ß-globin.

+
-
The two startcodons are not in the same open reading frame (ORF). Therefore two proteins will be produced. The Gene of Interest and the short peptide (30 aa).<br>
+
-
The idea of the oligos was to ligate the oligos into the pAAV_MCS vector. The oligos contained two overhangs which correspond to the sequences of the two restriction sites ClaI and BglII: <br>
+
-
The pAAV_MCS vector was digested with ClaI and BglII and then we ligated the oligo and the vector. Problem was that we did not notice that the overhang of ClaI and the sequence of EcoRI of the MCS_RFC25 resulted in another ATG startcodon.
+
-
<br>
+
-
<br>
+
-
'''Possible Solutions''':
+
-
<ul>
+
-
# first: modify MCS with ordered oligos of Sven (shorter MCS which cannot be used for pEX)and clone mVenus
+
-
# Perform site-directed-mutagenesis (QuikChange from Stratagene)
+
-
# Order new MCS-oligos and consider that '''no''' new ATG is produced. For example: add another base between ClaI overhang and EcoRI sequence. -----AT'''X'''G---- '''This solution is the more possible one we are going to perform.'''

====22. Labortag 05.06.2010: Insertion of iGEM expression parts into pAAV_MCS====
+
* The CMV promoter (mainly the regulatory region) was further characterized: For this purpose U.S. patent no. 5,385,839 was used. [[Media:Freiburg10_Patent_US5385839A.pdf]]
-
 
+
* Further on the CMV promoter sequence was blasted. The results delivered a 98% query coverage with the "Human herpesvirus 5 strain Toledo, complete genome" (accession no.: GU937742.1). Interestingly the maximal identity was just 99%. This can be explained due to a nucleotide deletion and a C-T transition (red circles), which were also marked in Geneious.

Many things went wrong today!
+
-
* Glycerol stocks must be vortexted!
+
-
* Check mini-prep buffers - especially buffer PE (needs to contain ethanol!)
+
-
* Always check volumes - try to estimate if volume makes sense (check pipettes!)
+
-
* Don't discard bacteria cultures until glycerol stocks and mini-preps are successfully done!!!

-
The alignment with the theoretical pAAV_iGEM-MCS delivered a "C-deletion" within the NgoMIV restriction site. Due to that the pAAV_iGEM-MCS lacks this site. We controlled the bill of delivery and noted that the deletion must be GATC's fault.
+
-
All in all this doesn't matter, because parts which are in iGEM standard can be inserted and therefore they will deliver the lacking NgoMIV restriction site. Further on this could be an advantage because after digestion the fragment which is cut out can be better detected in the gel.

In order to replace the multiple cloning site of the pAAV_MCS vector from Stratagene by RFC25, two oligos were designed. After their hybridization the overhangs correspond to ClaI- and BglII restriction sites. A digestion with BglII and ClaI will be performed with pAAV-MCS and then will be ligated with the designed oligos.<br>

'''Comments:''' Digestion of P34.2 delivered just one fragment size, revealing that - as expected after sequencing (C-deletion: no NgoMIV site in iGEM-MCS) - there was just one NgoMIV restriction site in the vector. In contrast to that the digestion of P34.3 and P34.4 delivered two bands - whereas the band of the smaller fragments looked like a smier. Because of this obscure and non-satisfying results (besides our assumption that there's something wrong with the marker :) )we decided to sequence the P34.3 vector:

The construnts that we receieved from PD Dr. Kleinschmidt (DKFZ) are mainly in the pKEX backbone. The sequences of the backbone and the inserts are not availible, for this reason we decided to sequence the constructs. The first step is to sequence from one construct into the backbone. In the second step we will designe primers that bind in the backbone and point into the direction of the insert.

Theoretical cloning

Investigators: Adrian, Hanna, Bea, Patrick, Chris W.



There are several matters to do in theoretical cloning. The modularization/modification of the stratagene plasmids and the enzymes. :

1. Cap-Gen:

  • delete the PstI-restriction site
  • insert the antibody fragment (targeting): sequence? in which part of VP1? (Patrick)
  • add prefix & suffix
  • disable binding of Heparan Sulphat Proteoglycan


2. Rep-Gen:

  • delete EcoRI (2x) and PstI (2x)


3. ITRs:

  • NotI and PstI (in sequence?) flank the ITRs: its the question if we can/must delete them?
  • where exactly starts and ends the sequence (Patrick)?
  • it should be checked up if there is a possibility to use all of the three ITRs.
  • we blasted the ITR (left) of the MCS vektor (Stratagene). we got a 92% "Coverage" with the AAV2 genom (to 100%). from the alignment (Stratagene ITR with ITR of the AAV2 genom) we got:
Freiburg10 ITR(left)-Stratagene vs. ITR AAV2.jpg

You can see, that the ITR sequence beginns 4 bp after the PstI restriction site. thereupon we did a secundary structure analyse (www.dinamelt.bioinfo.rpi.edu), with the following structurewe got:
Media:Freiburg10_AAV2ITR(left)nachBlast.pdf
conclusion: the big loop of the secondary structure dosent change if we delete the PstI restriction site (cf. with other uploadet secondary structures), it should be considered that we can't add random bp that could affect the secundary structure.
To do: which bp, which sequence could/can be insertet? cf. the genome of AAV2

4. MCS:

  • replacement through the iGEM-MCS
  • where is the beginning and ending of the MCS in the Vector? ß-globin function and sequence (search for literature and patents, which are denoted in the AAV-Helper-Free-System Manual)
  • in this context it would be also important to find out where the beta-Globulin-Intron exactly starts or rather we can cut out the MCS.


5. enzymes:

  • Thymidinkinase: find informations. TK30 (Bea), SR39 (Hanna)
  • Cytosindeaminase: find informations (Adrian)


in addition we downloadet, addet and anotated the sequence of the pHelper plasmid of stratagene in Geneious (see "Constructs").

Stock solutions

Investigators: Adrian, Chris W., Chris L., Bea, Achim, Patrick, Hanna, (Sven)


The following stock solutions were prepared:
1. Antibiotics:

  • Ampicillin: 2 g Ampicillin were dissolved in 20 mL ethanol (70%), filled into 2 mL tubes and stored at -20°C.
  • Chloramphenicol: 0.5 g Chloramphenicol were dissolved in 20 mL ethanol (70%), filled into 2 mL tubes and stored at the -20°C.
  • Kanamycin: 1 g Kanamycin was dissolved in 20 mL multipore-H2O, sterilized by filtration and filled into 2 mL tubes and stored at the -20°C.
  • Tetracyclin: 0.5 g Tetracyclin were dissolved in 20 mL ethanol (70%) and filled into 2 mL tubes. The tubes were wrapped with aluminium foil (light sensitive!) and stored at -20°C.

2. ITPG solution (1 M):

  • ~ 4.766 g ITPG were dissolved in 20 mL multipore-H2O, sterilized by filtration, filled in 2 mL tubes and stored at -20°C.

3. DYT (5 litres)

  • 80 g Bactotrypton, 50 g Bactoyeast, 25 g NaCl were weight out.
  • 2 L multipore-H2O were added
  • after mixing, multipore-H2O was added -> endvolume 5 litres
  • medium was filled into flask and was autoclaved

4. Glycerol:

  • Glycerol was filled into a flask and was then autoclaved

To do: register at Mr. Gene!!!

β-Globin

Investigators: Bea, Chris W., Patrick, Hanna (and instructors)



We blasted the sequence of the β-globin and additional nukleotides „vorne und hintendran“. We found only 70% coverage with the human β-globin-intron add. some parts of the exon 3. For this reason we think that the pAAV_MCS annotation of the β-Globin-intron of Stratagene is too generously.
In addition the alignment of the human ß-globin showed that only parts of the intron 2 (5’) and exon 3 are integratet into the vector. We assume that the informations from Stratagene are not total correctly ( intron flanket by the splicedonors and the acceptor-sequence). We blasted the sequence between the CMV-promoter and the origin beginning of the ß-globin intron. We found a 98,8% coverage with a synthetic CMV-promoterconstruct ( 1 nucleotide difference). Literature: „Diverse plasmid DNA vectors by directed molecular evolution of cytomegalovirus promoters. (Wright A. et al.)“
→The question arises if we can omit the ß-globin (because the exact function is unknown). For this we should contact various Companys (GeneArt, DNA2.0, Mr. Gene,…) to get more information. In addition we could test the expression with and without ß-globin.

Picking clones

Investigators: Adrian, Bea


    Clones were picked according to the standard protocol.
    • 3 approaches from each plate

13. Labortag 21.05.2010: CMV-Promoter


Theoretical cloning: (Volker, Hanna)

  • The CMV promoter (mainly the regulatory region) was further characterized: For this purpose U.S. patent no. 5,385,839 was used. Media:Freiburg10_Patent_US5385839A.pdf
  • Further on the CMV promoter sequence was blasted. The results delivered a 98% query coverage with the "Human herpesvirus 5 strain Toledo, complete genome" (accession no.: GU937742.1). Interestingly the maximal identity was just 99%. This can be explained due to a nucleotide deletion and a C-T transition (red circles), which were also marked in Geneious.

    Design of MCS-Oligos

    Investigators: Bea, Adrian, Hanna, Sven


    In order to replace the multiple cloning site of the pAAV_MCS vector from Stratagene by RFC25, two oligos were designed. After their hybridization the overhangs correspond to ClaI- and BglII restriction sites. A digestion with BglII and ClaI will be performed with pAAV-MCS and then will be ligated with the designed oligos.
    The oligos (see link) were ordered at Sigma-Aldrich. Estimated shipment: 31.05.2010 .

    Oligos (PstI + MCS)

    Investigators: Bea, Hanna, Jessica

    • Repeat cloning of pAAV-MCS + pCMV_mVenus_YFP --> Goal: pAAV_mVenus_YFP
      Cloning did not work (see lab day 25.05.2010) either with NotI or with NotI-HF. Gel did not show any proper band at the expected size.
      There will be used EtBr instead of gelred in the agarose gel and the incubation time of digestion will be prolonged. Further details are followed.
      NOTE: There are three restriction sites of NotI in the pCMV-mVenus_YFP. If cloning with NotI, the polyA hGH signal will be deleted. therefore cloning with NotI is not possible .

        Results: Test digestion of pCMV_MCS with NotI delivered plausibel results (expected fragment size: ~ 27 kbp and 17 kbp). Unfortunately the digestion of pCMV_mVenus_YFP with PstI and MluI resulted in one 2.9 kbp and one 1.2 kbp fragment, which didn't correspond to the expected fragment sizes of 19 kbp and 33 kbp - but to fragment sizes of pCMV_MCS without mVenus_YFP!
