Annealing of the two mutated strands of FlhDC (FlhDCmut)
Experiment done by: Sheila
Date: July 19th
Protocol: CP1.1
Method: PCR of the two mutated strands of the FlhDC operon
Notes: To samples were run at two different temperatures: 56,1˚C and 64,5˚C respectively.
Polymerase used: Pfu
Primers used: None, as the two strands are supposed to anneal to each other

Results: A gel, containing the PCR product was run, using [http://www.fermentas.de/product_info.php?info=p1110 GeneRuler(TM) DNA Ladder Mix, ready-to-use (#SM0333)] loaded in lane one (from the left:
.jpg)
We can se very faint bands in lane 2 and 3, at around 1000bp. The band in lane 3 is a little more visible than lane 2. Because we haven't used primers ind this PCR, it is possible that the two mutated strands has a lower possibility of annealing to each other. It s however possible to amplify the few complete FlhDCmut strands in a new PCR, which is what we will do next.

Results:
Gel electrophoresis:
Analysis:
All lanes except 4, 9 and 10 showed a band at app. 1200bp. which might indicate plasmids where flhD/C has been inserted.
Lane 4 and 9 has a band at app. 1500bp which could indicate undigested pSB1C3 (VF2 - VR for pSB1C3 w. J04450 is 1385bp).
Streak plates of coloni 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 showed red colonies, indicating that these contained undigested pSB1C3.
Streak plates of coloni 4 and 9 had only white colonies, suggesting an insertion has occured.
To verify if flhD/C has been inserted coloni PCR using VF2 and flhD/C rev. as primers was carried out for colonies from streak plates of coloni 4 and 9 and of all white colonies from the transformation plates. (see coloni PCR)

PCR product was loaded onto a 2% agarose gel. Gene ruler DNA ladder mix (red) was used as marker.
Results:
Gel electrophoresis:
Analysis:
None of the samples contained amplified DNA.
This indicates either that the flhD/C gene has not been inserted to the pSB1C3 backbone or an insertion has been made but the flhD/C primer has not been able to anneal to the template.
To verify that a ligation has occurred, PCR product 4 and 9 from Coloni PCR was digested with EcoRI and SpeI.

Digestion of flhD/C PCR product with EcoRI and SpeI
Start date: 24/07 End date: 24/07
Methods: Restriction digest and gel electrophoresis
Protocol:RD1.1
Experiment done by: Maria
Notes:
To verify if a ligation has occurred Taq PCR product of coloni 4 and 9 (see Coloni PCR) was digested with the same restiction enzymes used for the digestion of flhD/C DNA and pSB1C3 prior to ligation.
If an ligation has occurred, then the restriction sites of EcoRI and SpeI should be intact, and two fragments of 122bp and 170bp should be observed on the gel, indicating VF2-E site and S site-VR respectively.
RFP (PCR poduct of coloni no.8) was used as controle.
2.5uL of undigested PCR product of coloni 4, 8 and 9 were loaded onto the gel as well.
Samples were loaded onto a 2% agarose gel. Hyper Ladder II was used as marker.

To verify if the silent mutation has been made PCR product of flhD/C mut (see [flhD/C mut PCR] was digested with restiction enzyme PstI.
If the mutation has been made the flhD/C fragment should not be digested with PstI.

Purification of pSB1A2 containing J13002
Experiment done by: Pernille
Date: the 19 of July
Protocol: MP1.1 and CP1.1
Method: Miniprep, Nano drop, gel electrophoresis and PCR
Notes: The pSB1A2 plasmid are a high-copy-plasmid and therefore 5mL ON culture are used for purification of the plasmid. for the PCR the following PRC program are used:
1: 94°C 3min
2: 94°C 2min
3: 55°C 30 sec
4: 72°C 1min
5: x 29 rep.
6: 72°C 5min
7: hold 4°C
Results:After the purification the concentration of nucleic acid concentration was measured on the Nano Drop. There was made four purification tubes. Only tube 1 and 3 was used for further experiments because the other contained a very low concentration of nucleic acid. The concentration in tube 1 and 3 was 25,72ng/uL and 25,76ng/uL.
The purified DNA was loaded in a 1,5% agarose gel together with a 10.000bp long ladder (red).
PCR was run on the DNA using the VR and VF2 primers wich ensures the only the brick part are amplificated. The pfu polymerase was used but unfortunately i did not get any results since i did not add any MgSO4 to the premix.

the experiment for each biobrick was do in duplicats.
Results:After amplification the nucleic acid concentration was measured on the Nano Drop. The concentrations was measued to:

The PCR product was loaded on a 2% agarose gel together with a 1000 bp long marker.
During the DNA extraction 50uL DNA anf 7uL loading buffer was loaded in a lane. The samples was loaded from left to right in continuous numbers.
The concentration of the extracted DNA from tube 1,2 and was found to 13.60ng/uL, 16,58ng/uL and 12,6313.60ng/uL respectively. while we have to use the dobbelt terminator and the constitutive active promotor in a lot of experiment the next step is to do another round of PRC and DNA extraction on thise biobricks.

Transformation of TOP 10 e. coli with ninaB gene in pOT2:chlor vector
Date: 21/7
Done by: Christian
Transformation of cells with gene in plasmid
Date: 21/7
Methods: Transformation
Protocols: TR1.1 and paperblotter protocol from plasmid cDNA package.
Notes: Filterpaper was washed with 50ul TE buffer for 2 seconds. Paper punch was then transfered to a sterile eppendorff tube, and transformation protocol TR1.1 was followed from here. The usual positive control was used.
Plates were dried for ca. 12 minutes, showed no sign of cracking.
The gene is inserted into a pOT2 plasmid. A plasmid map can be found [http://www.fruitfly.org/about/methods/pOT2vector.html here]:
Two of the chlor plates were damaged (one very slightly) and one ampicilin plate was torn up, again. (good thing two were dried). Plates were incubated ON at 37°.
Results: Colonies showed on all plates.
Transformations have been succesfull. If our gene is in there will be tested next week.
Coloni PCR of flhD/C in pSB1C3
Start date: 21/07 End date: 21/07
Methods: Coloni PCR and gel electrophoresis
Protocol:CP1.2
Experiment done by: Maria and LC
Notes:
Coloni PCR was made on flhD/C in pSB1C3 from Transformation.
10 colonies from plates plated with cells transformed with L2 and L3 ligation mixtures (see Ligation).
Coloni 1-5 is taken from L2 plates
coloni 6-10 is taken from L3 plates
PCR was made with only half the amount of premix.

PCR product was loaded onto a 2% agarose gel. Gene ruler DNA ladder mix (red) was used as marker.
VF2 - coding sequence (in pSB1C3) : 140bp
Coding sequence - VR (in pSB1C3) : 176bp
flhD/C : 932bp
VF2 - VR for pSB1C3 w. flhD/C :1248bp
VF2 - VR for pSB1C3 without insertion : 316bp
Results:
Gel electrophoresis:
Analysis:
All lanes except 4, 9 and 10 showed a band at app. 1200bp. which might indicate plasmids where flhD/C has been inserted.
Lane 4 and 9 has a band at app. 1500bp which could indicate undigested pSB1C3 (VF2 - VR for pSB1C3 w. J04450 is 1385bp).
