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

Follow-up: Inoculated 5mL LB media (tetracycline positive) with cells from the transformation plates and incubated at 37^oC overnight. (June 5/2010).

Objective: Ligate pBad-TetR part with fluorescent protein part in pSB1C3 backbone.

Incubated at 37^oC for 75 minutes.

Used Red buffer for the EcoRI/SpeI and EcoRI/PstI digests
Used Tango buffer for the XbaI/PstI digests
Did not heat kill upon removal from incubation, put directly into -20^oC fridge.

Continue Ligation on Saturday (See below).

June 5/2010

(In the lab:AS)
Objective: Ligate restriction products from June 3/2010.
Relevant information:

Have 3 tubes of part 1 (pBad-TetR)
- In ampicillin backbone
Have 10 tubes of part 2 (fluorescent protein - various)
- In ampicillin backbone
Will have 30 combinations
Will use pSB1C3 as plasmid backbone
- Used most of the pSB1T3 and want to save remainder for creating new backbone via PCR.

Method:
*Restriction digests were not heat killed after reactions. Freezing probably killed the restriction enzymes, but I will hea kill them at 80^oC for 20 minutes anyways prior to adding Ligase.

- Cool on ice for 10 minutes before adding ligase.

Master Mix	Volume/tube (µL)	Total Volume (µL)
DNA	6	---
10x Buffer	1	32
T4 DNA Ligase	.25	8
MilliQ H₂O	2.75	88

Add 4µL master mix to each DNA tube.

Follow-up: Ligation reactions will be transformed into DH5α cells

Ran gel at 100V for 90 minutes.
Results:

No bands visible except for pSB1T3 lanes, therefore could not quantify anything that had not already been quantified.
Also, purification of DNA done on June 7/2010 seemed to reduce amount of pDNA in sample.

Objective: Restrict mms6 (D9,D10) and dT (C1) so we can ligate the dT onto the mms6 coding region.

Looks like everything was restricted. Ligations may work this time.
Follow-up: Ligation mixtures can be restriction tested and (if cutting works) transformed into DH5α cells.

Objective: Transform pDNA from distribution plates into DH5α cells to generate glycerol stocks for lab.
Method:
Remove DNA from the following locations on the 2010 distributions kits:

double terminator (B0010-B0010; AKA B0017) from kit plate 2 well 6K (pSB1A2)
double terminator (B0010-B0012; AKA B0015) from kit plate 1 well 23L (pSB1AK3)

Transform into DH5α cells using transformation protocol, with pUC19 as positive control (1ng/µL), and water as negative control.
Results:

Positive control: TMTC (too many to count) colonies
B0010-B0010: 41 colonies
B0010-B0012: 120 colonies

(In the lab: TF, DM, HS)
Objective: Restriction Digest of RBS-xylE with EcoRI and SpeI

Method:

Restriction Digestions

Pipetted 15.5µL of water, into 2 reaction tubes (0.6mL) each.
Pipetted 2µL of red buffer into each of them.
Pipetted 2µL of rbs-xylE plasmid DNA into both tubes, but taking only the thawed liquid on the side.
Because this was not proper protocol for aliquoting DNA, we thawed the DNA out completely and then put 2µL more of the rbs-xylE plasmid DNA in.
Pipetted 0.25µL of EcoRI enzyme and 0.25µL of SpeI enzyme into the restriction reaction tube.
Placed in incubator (37^oC) for 1 hour.
Placed in ice for 10 minutes.

Objective: Test Ligations of rbs-xylE with T4-Ligase from iGEM -20^oC and from HJ's lab's -20^oC.

Method:

Pipette 12.75µL of Milli-Q H₂O into 4 mincrocentrifuge tubes.
Pipette 2µL of 10X T4-Ligase buffer into all 4 tubes.
Pipette 5µL of the RD product into both iGEM ligase tubes and HJ-Lab Ligase tubes.
Pipetted 5µL of the RD control into both iGEM ligase tubes and HJ-Lab ligase tubes.
Incubate overnight

Result:The gel "broke" while running. Jeff hypothesized the cause to be excessive heat. However, the DNA was still visible.IMAGE TO COME!!!!

Objective:Isolate plasmid DNA from DH5α cells.

Method:The plasmid DNA is:

1)double terminator B0017 (B0010-B0010) from 2010 kit plate 2:6K pSB1A2
2)double terminator B0015 (B0010-B0012) from 2010 kit plate 1:23L pSB1AK2

This will give us 2 additional dt's (3 total) into our working plasmid box to ligate onto the end of our constructs.

Used the boiling lysis miniprep protocol and elute with 50µL of Milli-Q H₂O with RNAse A.

These plasmids (labeled 1 & 2 above) are in:

working plasmid box: 1). J9 2). J10
glycerol sotck 2010 box: 1). F2 2). F3

DNA was then purified using the protocol for purification of PCR products (BioBasic). DNA was eluted with 35µL of elution buffer.

EcoRI + SpeI (new) + Red Buffer
EcoRI + PstI + Red Buffer
EcoRi + Red Buffer
SpeI (old) + Tango Buffer
SpeI (new) + Tango Buffer
PstI + Red Buffer
No enzyme controls (Red & Tango Buffer)

(in lab: JV, HS)

Objective:: To run a PCR of biobrick parts from out working plasmid box.

Method:

Master Mix	Volume/tube (µL)	Total Volume (µL)
MilliQ H₂O	12.8	448
DNA	1	-------
5X Phusion Buffer	4	140
10µM dNTP's	1	35
Forward Primer	0.5	17.5
Reverse Primer	0.5	17.5
Polymerase	0.2	7

Ran for 25 cycles on lig25 setting.

Objective:: Restriction Digest, Run on agarose gel, and ligate PCR products from June 23/10.

Method:

Six tubes for restriction digest:

Part 1	Part 2
Lane 8 (I2)	Lane 4 (C1)
Lane 19 (A9)	Lane 8 (I2)
Lane 19 (A9)	Lane 8 (I2)

Restriction Digest Reaction Mixture:

Ingredient	Volume (µL)
Plasmid DNA	2
Enzyme	0.5
Buffer	2
Milli-Q H₂O	15.5

Incubate at 37^oC for 1 hour. Then heat kill the enzymes at 80^oC for 20 minutes.
