Republic of Panama

Situated on the isthmus connecting North and South America, it is bordered by Costa Rica to the northwest, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

Meeting June 26

At this moment we have two ideas for develop. We are debating which idea is more feasible. Idea #1: Carlos´s team idea We want to produce Rhamnolipid in bacteria (e.coli) to use it as a biosurfactant. First we have to be sure that our idea is not the same that the idea published in the reference paper. We want to make a biobrick to produce Rh1. We have to see how we can isolate the rhamnolipid, and be sure that the translation is functional.

Ernesto's Idea

Steps to follow:

1.Amplified the Rhamnosyltransferase 1 complex from Pseudomona Auruginosa to clone the fragment. Size aprox 2.2 Kb. 2.Ligation / Transformation 3.Expression with reporter gen. 4.Isolation 5.Is the protein functional? 6.Make sure that the rhamnolipid is produced in prescence of rhamnose and fatty acid.


Notes:

We can see the reaction ( enzymatic measure) by spectrometry. See kind of ligation. Decided if we are going to use sticky or blond ends. (Depend on the plasmid).


But first, before the amplification we need to design our primers.

Primers design:

1.Check the gene sequence (In GenBank, FASTA format) 2.Check the primer sequence. 3.See kind of cloning. 4.M13 tail for cleavage site. 5.Look for cleavage site inside the rhamnosyltransferase 1 gene for our restriction enzymes. We can´t cut our gene in the process.


In summary the steps that we need to follow are:

I.Primer design II.PCR or amplification III.Cloning IV.Expression V.Sequencing

The most important steps are I and II. We need a good primers design and PCR if we want to have successful.


Idea #2 Ernesto team´s idea

Production of Cecropin compound. We want to produce the antibacterial cecropin compound. Naturally is produced by insects and plants.

We want to use Anopheles gambiae cecropin precursor. The gene is about 550 pb.



The steps to follow are the same in both groups. Both groups have to design the primers, and have all the experimental design for this week.

1.The sequence of the interested gene. 2.Design the primers. (50-100pb more at the begging and end of the sequence). 3.Check for cloning sites. Which plasmid we are going to use, identify the restriction enzymes. 4.Assemble the blocks. In paper assemble all the system. Promoter + Ribosomal binding site + interest gene + reporter gene + translation end site.


All the design has to be on paper to analyze them and decided which idea is going to be the elected one.
