- When we ligated RBS-C0051 to RBS-RFP together, we noticed that there were RED colonies.
- There is no promoter present yet. How this happened was a mystery that we had to look into.
|
 |
|
- First of all, we sequenced the DNA of the red colonies. The sequence analysis showed that we indeed had the correct sequence.
- We decided to run a number of tests to see which part of the sequence exhibited promoter-like behavior.
- Unwanted transcription may be due to the nature of the construct.
- Promoter-like sequence may be present anywhere in the BBa_C0051 or BBa_E1010 (RFP) biobrick, including the LVA and bar code.
|
|
|
|
- We ligated RBS-RFP to RBS-RFP to see if transcription occurred.
- The construct exhibited a white phenotype. Thus, we concluded that transcription didn't start in any part of the RFP
|
|
|
- We ligated RBS-RFP to Chris Anderson's Promoter Screening Plasmid.
- We also obtained white colonies.
|
|
|
|
- We ligated RBS-C0051 to Chris Anderson's Promoter Screening Plasmid.
- And we have obtained red colonies! We know that the transcription initiation is somewhere in the BBa_C0051 region.
|
|
|
|
| To determine where transcription is initiating, we have decided to perform 5' Race PCR on regions of c0051 |
