(In Lab: JV)

Objective: Isolate plasmid DNA of RBS-xylE (BBa_J33204) from DH5α cells and confirm results.

Method: "Mini-prep" the plasmid DNA using boiling lysis miniprep. Then restrict the DNA once and run on a 1% agarose gel (TAE).

Restriction Reaction

Ingredient	Volume(µL)
MilliQ H₂0 Water	15.75
Orange Buffer (10x)	2
pDNA (rbs-xylE)	2
EcoRI	0.25

Unrestricted Control

Ingredient	Volume(µL)
MilliQ H₂0 Water	16
Orange Buffer (10x)	2
pDNA (rbs-xylE)	2

DNA was restricted for 80 minutes at 37^oC.

Analyzed results on a 1% agarose gel. Load order as follows:

Lane	Sample	Volume Sample (µL)	Volume Loading Dye (µL)
1	Restricted RBS-xylE	10	2
1	Unestricted RBS-xylE^†	1	2
1	1kb Ladder^†^†	2	2

† Added 9µL MilliQ H₂O
†† Added 8µL MilliQ H₂O
Ran gel at 100V from 2 hours.
Results:

Conclusions: Plasmid DNA prep and restriction was successful.

Objective: Ligate rbs-xylE (Bba_J33204) to our double terminator, and insert it into the pSB1T3 plasmid backbone.
Method:

June 2/2010 - Evening

Objective: Set up new ligations of pLacI and sRBS-Lum-dT according to Tom Knight's protocol. Previous ligation had very little DNA.
Relevant Information:

Want a final mass of 25ng of each pDNA in the ligation mix.
Final concentration of pDNA in restriction digest should be 25-50ng/µL.
Tom Knight's restriction reaction is 50µL, therefore there should be 1000ng pDNA in each restriction digest.
Identified the following plasmids in our working plasmids box:

Common Name	Location	Concentration (ng/µL)	Volume/rxn (µL)
pLacI Maxiprep	A9	990	~1
pLacI (B1)	A6	440	~2
sRBS-Lum-dT (2)	A1	965	~1
sRBS-Lum-dT (1)	A2	1145	~1
sRBS-Lum-dT Maxiprep	B8	4780	~.2
sRBS-Lum-dT	B7	4375	~.25
sRBS-Lum-dT (1)	G2	335	~3
sRBS-Lum-dT (2)	G3	965	~2

Make a 1:10 dilution of sRBS-Lum-dt maxiprep (D8) and sRBS-Lum-dT (B7). 0.5µL pDNA in 4.5µL water.
Cut pLacI with EcoRI and SpeI
Cut sRBS-Lum-dT with XbaI and PstI
Cut pSB1T3 with EcoRI and PstI
Will have total of 12 ligation reactions, want 12x2µL of pSB1T3 to add to each, therefore want 25µL of pSB1T3.

Method:
Restriction
