From 21/8 cultures
- E.Z.N.A Plasmid Mini kit I
- 50 μl elution volume
Sequencing
Samples prepared for sequencing:
- 15 μl DNA (>100 ng/μl)
- 1.5 μl 10 μM pSB-VR primer
| Sample | Label | Seq # |
|---|---|---|
| pSB1K3.SOD⋅His 1 | pK-SH1 | 938 |
| pSB1K3.SOD⋅His 2 | pK-SH2 | 939 |

Enzyme inactivation
Inactivated restriction enzymes in digestion samples from 19/8 and 20/8 in 80 °C, 10 min.
- Dig pEX X+P
- Dig pC.RFP X+P
- Dig His E+A
- Dig m-yCCS N+P
- Dig m-SOD N+P
Transfer of RFP coding device to pEX
Colony restreaks
Results from 21/8
All clones grew well on the Amp plate, but not on Km, indicating RFP has indeed been transfered from pSB1K3 to a target AmpR vector, and that pSB1K3 does not express AmpR.
I later realized that the transfer of RFP was not from pSB1K3, but from pSB1C3, making this restreak pointless.
Gel verification of Dig pEX X+P and Dig pC.RFP X+P
λ = O'GeneRuler 1 kb DNA ladder.
Ran a gel of the digestion samples from 19/8 to verify the sizes of vectors and inserts.
1 % agarose, 100 V, 1 h 20 min
Expected bands
- Dig pEX X+P
- 4453 bp (vector)
- 1237 bp (insert)
- Dig pC.RFP X+P
- 2054 bp (pSB1C3 vector)
- 1095 bp (RFP insert)
Results
The bands for "pC.RFP X+P" correspond well to what was expected. However, none of the "pEX X+P" bands do. It might be possible that this is actually a pMA vector, carrying a ≈800 bp insert (unclear what). This would explain why ligations and transformations from 19/8 resulted in red colonies, but colony PCR amplification with pEX primers doesn't result in any bands.
Digestion of new pEX vector
Used pEX vector prepared and verified 21/8 for new pEX digestion with XbaI and PstI.

| 10X FD buffer | 3 μl | [DNA] = 33.3 ng/μl Inc.: 37 °C, 30 min |

Gel verification
λ = O'GeneRuler 1 kb DNA ladder.
1 % agarose, 100 V, 35 min
Results
pEX confirmed - bands correspond well.

Transformation
Procedures based on quick transformation protocol:
- 1.5 μl ligation mix. 15 min incubation on ice.
- 30 s heat-shock in 42 °C
Plating onto 100 Amp LB agar. 37 °C ON.
ON cultures
Set ON cultures for preparation of glycerol stocks:
- 3 ml LB + Km 50:
- pSB1K3.SOD⋅His 1
- pSB1K3.SOD⋅His 2
- pSB1K3.yCCS⋅His 2
- pSB1K3.yCCS⋅His 3
- 3 ml LB + Amp 100:
- pMA.His (Picked 19/8)
- pEX (Picked 19/8)
Inc. 30 °C, ON.
Assembly of His⋅SOD/yCCS constructs
Ligation
Used digestion samples from 20/8 for ligations. Ligation protocol identical to that from 20/8.
Transformation
Standard transformation protocol.
- 1 μl ligation mix
- Plating on Km 50.
