There is a lawn on the plate although chloramphenicol was added. Some clones were picked and a new agar plate inoculated to hopefully receive some 'pickable' clones.

Additionally a new SDM was performed: PCR program:

  • 95°C 2 min (1x)
  • 95°C 20s, 60°C 10 s, 68°C 30 s (30s/kb) (18x)
  • 68°C 5 minutes
Ingredients Volume
10x reaction buffer 2,5
DNA template ( about 10 ng) 1 µl diluted P222
forward primer: 0,58 µl O108 (pSB1C3 PvuII rev)
reverse primer: 0,59 µl O109 (pSB1C3 PvuII for)
DMSO (2%) 0,5
dNTP Mix from the kit 0,5 µl
QuickSolution Reagent0,75 µl

Continuation: pSB1C3_SDM_SspI_Bla14FM clone 5 SDM (P222)

Investigator: Patrick
Again there was a bacterial lawn on the agar plate. Therefore some clones from the overgrown agar plated were picked and diluted. The 1:10^4, 1:10^5, 1:10^6 dilution each were put onto an agar plate (37°C, over night). Additionally a transformation with XL1B cells from the remaining SDM DNA sample was performed and diluted, too. The 1:10^4 and the 1:10^6 dilution were plated. Hopefully there will be some 'pickable' clones tomorrow.

    BioBrick assembly for pSB1C3_Affibody_Linker and pSB1C3_YFP_His-Tag

    Investigators: Volker


    The aim of this experiment is to assemble the affibodies with the the five linkers and the YFP with the His-Tag. All cloning is done according to RFC 25 and will be used to test the affibody if it really binds the EGF-receptor, for the N-terminal fusions and to supply it to other groups in the registry.

    This experiment went wrong on Saturday 21.08. and was repeated on Sunday 22.08. and gave the following results. Results from the first experiment are not shown but can be senn in the written Labjournal.

    Transfection of AAV293, Harvest viral particles, Transduction of HT1080 and Fluorescent microscopy

    Investigators: Adrian, Kerstin

    The Motivation
    Measure the Transduction efficiency from 19.8

    The Motivation
    Transfection of AAV293 cells from 19.8 (ten 10cm2 dishes with 2.000.000 cells each) with original standard protocoll!!! We want to try different 2xHBS Buffers (pH) and their influence on transfection efficiency!

    The Plan

    Requiered goods: 0,3 M CaCl2 , 2x HBS-Buffer , autoclaved millipore water, falcons, eppis
    Working steps:

    1. Remove the three plasmids to be co-transfected (the recombinant pAAV expression plasmid or control plasmid, pAAV-RC, and pHelper) from storage at –20°C.
    2. Pipet 10 µg of each of the three plasmid DNA solutions into an eppi.
    3. Add 1ml of 0.3 M CaCl2 and mix gently
    4. Pipet 1ml of 2 × HBS into a 15-ml falcon.
    5. pipet the DNA/CaCl2 solution dropwise into the falcon (use the Pipetus).
    6. Apply the DNA/CaCl2/HBS suspension to the plate of cells in a dropwise fashion, swirling gently to distribute the DNA suspension evenly in the medium.
    7. Return the tissue culture plate to the 37°C room for 6 hours.
    8. At the end of the incubation period, remove the medium from the plate and wash cells with warm PBS, replace it with 10 ml of fresh DMEM growth medium.
    9. Return the plate to the 37°C incubator for an additional 72 hours.


    We try 5 different 2xHBS buffers:

    • pH: 7.06
    • pH: 7.08
    • pH: 7.10
    • pH: 7.12
    • pH: 7.14
    • 1. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=mVenus; pH(2xHBS)= 7.06
    • 2. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=mVenus; pH(2xHBS)= 7.08
    • 3. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=mVenus; pH(2xHBS)= 7.10
    • 4. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=mVenus; pH(2xHBS)= 7.12
    • 5. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=mVenus; pH(2xHBS)= 7.14
    • 6. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=TKGMK; pH(2xHBS)= 7.08
    • 7. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=TKGMK; pH(2xHBS)= 7.10
    • 8. Plate: 10µg of Rep/Cap, pHelper and GOI=mVenus; pH(2xHBS)= 7.14



    The transfected cells were seeded at 19.8 (2.000.000 cells per 10 cm2)
    Used Plasmids: Standart protocol: 10µg of each plasmid

    • GOI: mVENUS => P262, conc:1148ng/µl; used amount: 8,71µl
    • GOI: TKGMK => P82b, conc:1500ng/µl; used amount: 6,67µl
    • pHELPER => P64, conc:503ng/µl; used amount: 20µl
    • RepCap => 10.8: 1348ng/µl; used amount: 7,41µl

    • Harvest viral paricles from 18.08.2010 and transduction of HT1080 cells following the standard protocol

    • Analysis via Fluorescent microscopy (Transduction from 19.08.2010)
      • Results:

    concentration (ng/µl)1035,10 1376,95


    Re-Trafo of pSB1C3_SDM_SspI_Bla14FM

    Investigator: Stefan

    Comment: Mini-Prep of pSB1C3_SDM_SspI_Bla14FM showed extremely low plasmid concentrations. It was proposed that this could correspond to using not the standard lab cells but rather XL-10 Gold cells for trafo. Therefore a re-trafo was performed using BL21 cells. 2 µl of each clone was added to BL21 cells and trafo was performed. Clones can be picked tonight (Volker)!

    Primer design: Sequencing primer for BioBrick Assembly of vectorplasmid and phTERT qPCR primer

    Investigator: Bea

    Comment: Two goals will be accomplished with this primers.

    1. The first primer pair (left picture) serve as sequencing primers for the pSB1C3 vector plasmid. Problem was that the designed VR-2/VF-2 primers cannot be used for sequencing because the ITRs flank several assembled parts, mostly CMV, beta globin, GOI and hGH. These primers were designed to bind in the flanked region, directly after/before left and right ITR repsectivel and can therfore be used to sequence most of the flanked sequence inbetween the ITRs.
    2. The second primer pair (right picture) will be used for performing the qPCR with th econtruct containing the phTERT promoter. The qPCR primers used for the other qRT-PCR cannot be used because these two primers anneal in the CMV region. The new designed primers bind in the phTERT region and can therefore bee used for determinining the infectious titers.

    Sequence analysis of sequencing reads prepared yesterday (23.08.2010)

    Investigator: Bea

    GENERAL COMMENT: pSB1C3 {NLS and VP1up} were sent for sequencing. Aswell as the pAAV_RC_final which contains all four mutations in the Rep-Cap gene and the integrated and synthesiezd rep and cap gene and the plasmid pCerulean whith the CMV promoter and sv40 polyadenylation site.


    Comments: Sequence analysis of pAAV_RC_final containing the subcloned "rep" (ordered) and "Cap (ordered) plus the four mutations to delete the restriction sites PstI, BamHi and SalI.

    • Primer used:
      • VP1 primer for pKex
      • GATC_std_SK
      • Primer Cap 2800 rev
      • Primer Cap 2800 for
      • Primer Cap 3500 for
    • Plasmid sequenced: P283
    • Sequence sample: iGEM4
    • Stored in Geneious-folder: RepCap insert ordered


    Results:

    Sequencing of the mutation ok. Rep integration worked. Cap integration needs to be repeated.


    Next steps: Repetition of the integration of the synthesized cap gene performed by Stefan (see topic).

    Comments: Sequence analysis of pSB1C3_NLS

    • Primer used: VR-2
    • Plasmid sequenced: P282
    • Sequence sample: iGEM3_O51_VR-2
    • Stored in folder: pSB1C3_NLS


    Results:

    Insertion of the nuclear localisation signal (NLS) into the pSB1C3_NLS as one step in the N-terminal insertion of targeting molecules. Sequencing results look good. prefix and suffix ok!


    Next steps: Fuse NLS to targeting molecule.

    Comments: Sequence analysis of pSB1C3_VP1up

    • Primer used: VF-2
    • Plasmid sequenced: P280
    • Sequence sample: iGEM1_VF-2
    • Stored in folder: N-Terminal targeting --> pSB1C3_VP1up


    Results:

    Prefix ok, but annotation is wrong. VP1up should start with: GC!! Suffix ok! The additional EcoRI before the prefix standard can be due to the bad sequence read quality.


    Next steps: Clone VP1up into pCerulean in order to obtain the plasmid with a CMV promoter and the sv40 polyadenylation site.

    Comments: Sequence analysis of pCerulean

    • Primer used: GATC_CMV-F
    • Plasmid sequenced: P273
    • Sequence sample: iGEM2_CMV-F
    • Stored in folder: N-Terminal targeting --> pCerulean


    Results:

    It seem that the suffix is not correct which means that AgeI, PstI and NotI is missing. This can be due to the bad sequence quality. Prefix is ok!


    Next steps: For verification a test digestion with the missing restriction sites will be perforemd and another round of sequencing will be conducted.

    Test digestion of pSB1C3_SDM_SspI_Bla14FM (P222), pSB1C3_BLA (P286, P288)

    Investigator: Achim

    CommentsNew test digestion of two SDM-attempts, this time we also digested the original vector containing the PvuII restriction site to see differences.



    Freiburg10 Test digestion of pSB1C3 BLA final 24 08 2010.jpg


    • The original vector is being cut as expected: the uncut vector can be seen in different conformations, the linearized vector shows one distinct band and the digestions cutting out BLA show a band at ~900 bp. Our SDM attempts show inconsistent results, not only does the Pvu site still seem to be in the backbone, there are no more proper insert bands visible either. We therefore conclude that either the DpnI digestion or the dilution of the transformation must have gone wrong (differing plasmids...). Tomorow we'll try a new cloning approach using an old vector with deleted Pvu restriction site and MscI & XbaI digestion. In case this also fails we also yet have to prep and test digest the repetition of the mutagenesis which was carried out by Stefan.



    Results:

    Prefix ok, but annotation is wrong. VP1up should start with: GC!! Suffix ok! The additional EcoRI before the prefix standard can be due to the bad sequence read quality.


    Next steps: Clone VP1up into pCerulean in order to obtain the plasmid with a CMV promoter and the sv40 polyadenylation site.

    Comments: Sequence analysis of pCerulean

    • Primer used: GATC_CMV-F
    • Plasmid sequenced: P273
    • Sequence sample: iGEM2_CMV-F
    • Stored in folder: N-Terminal targeting --> pCerulean


    Results:

    It seem that the suffix is not correct which means that AgeI, PstI and NotI is missing. This can be due to the bad sequence quality. Prefix is ok!


    Next steps: For verification a test digestion with the missing restriction sites will be perforemd and another round of sequencing will be conducted.

    Sequence analysis of pSB1C3_Bla_final (P309)and pCerulean_VP1up (P303)

    Investigator: Bea

    GENERAL COMMENT: pSB1C3_Bba_final (P309, SB_9) and pCerulean_Vp1up (P303; SB_10) were sent for sequencing. In the case of SB1C3_Bba_final, which means that the whole vector was assembled from the buttom,the purpose was to test the designed primers. In the other case we wanted to verify the insertion of Vp1up inot pCerulean.


    Comments: Sequence analysis of pSB1C3_leftITR_CMV_betaglobin_mVenus_hGH_rightITR.

    • Primer used:
      • pSB1C3_Bba_seq_for
      • pSB1C3_Bba_seq_rev
    • Plasmid sequenced: P??
    • Sequence sample: ??
    • Stored in Geneious-folder: BioBricks --> final parts


    Results:

    Results look good. The forward primer worked, still waiting for the results of the reverse primer. The scar inbetween the CMV promoter and the beat globin intron corresponds to the expected result.


    Next steps: Wwait until sequencing results of the reverse primer can be confirmed aswell. If that will not be the case, order new sequensing primer.

    Cloning of pCerulean_VP1up_NLS

    Investigator: Anissa

    Comment:Cloning did not work, because no NLS-band could be seen in the gel... Will be repeated on monday in two new approaches. One time VP1up will be cloned into pSB1C3_NLS and recloned as a fusion-product into pCerulean. Another time the oligos of NLS will be hybridisized, cut with rescriction enzymes and purificated with the Qiaex II kit.Then the NLS will be ligated into the pCerulean_VP1up

    DARPin E_01

    Investigator: Bea

    General overview of DARPins:

    Natural protein ankyrin repeat molecules are motifs which can be found in proteins. These motifs are mediating protein-protein interactions. This suggests that ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins can be used for designing binding molecules. In Kohl et al. (2003) and Binz et al. (2003) the authors designed a structural framework with fixed consensus regions and randomized positions of interacting residues.

    The repetitive nature of the ankyrin proteins allows modifications in their variable and modular binding surface. Therefore consensus sequences of natural ankyrin proteins were used to design novel and stable scaffolds for binding proteins. Designed Ankyrin Proteins (DARPins) are well expressed, monomeric in solution, thermodynamically stable and have the ability to fold fast. In the publication of Steiner et al. (2008) screening libraries were created by useing the signal recognition particle (SRP) translocation pathway for phage display. The proteins containing the appropriate translocation signal sequence are efficiently displayed on filamentous phage particles. Screening for DARPins binding to specific target proteins like EGF-R (Erb1) were performed by phage ELISAs. The extracellular domain I-III of the receptor ErbB1 was fused to the Fc part of human IgG1 and used for selection. The previously described combinatorial N3C library was used as a template for SRP selection. After phage ELISA ans sequencing have been performed only one clone (E_01) could be selected with high-affinity binding characteristics. For broaden the diversity of ErbB1 DARPins three more clones were selected by epitope masking (E_67, E_68 and E_69). Binding and epitope localization experiments showed that all selected clones recognize a competing epitope as the dominant binder E_01, except of E_69 which recognizes an epitope not competing with E_01. The low diversity obtained for DARPins against ErbB1 suggests that the binding interfaces are well suited for dominant selection. Additionally the selected clones showed no cross-reactivity with other ErbB-family receptors (Figure 2C).


    The dominant DARPpin E_01 has very high affinities to the target protein ErbB1 (Table 3) and can be used as a potential targeting molecule four our approach in fusing the DARPin to the N-terminal VP proteins.

    Overview of DARPinE_01 used in our approach:

    The designed ankyrin repeat protein used as a potential targeting molecule consists of three internal capping repeats and the C-and N-terminal capping repeats. Each internal repeat module comprises of one beta-turn and two hydrophobic alpha-helices. The potential interaction residues are located in the beta-turn the first alpha-helices of the AR-proteins. The complete nucleotide and corresponding amino acid sequence can be found in the appendix.

    Update VP1 insertion

    Investigator: Anissa, Bea

    Done:

    • pSB1C3_VP1up was succesfully created by Achim. For details see labday from 2010-22-08.
    • pCerulean_VP1up was suceesfully created by Anissa. pCerulean was sequenced and the VP1up which contains the upstream 137 aa´s of the VP1 protein could be successfully cloned into the plasmid backbone pCerulean (obtained by performeing a PCR).
    • pSB1C3_NLSHybridization of the nuclear localization sequence (NLS) was successfully incorporated into the pSB1C3_CFP.
    • Today, Anissa tried to fuse the NLS to the VP1up sequence. Cutting the pSB1C3_NLS with NgomIV and PstI leads to a 45 nt fragment which normally can be resoluted in a 2% agarose gel. But no fragment could be detected in the gel (for further details see: Cloning of pCerulean_VP1up_NLS).
      On monday another approach will be performed: The NLS oligos will be hybridized and digested with NgomIV and SpeI. With the Qiaex II Kit (protocol for desalting and concentrating DNA solutions),the hybrifized oligos will be purified. Parallel, another digestion approach will be conducted.

    Next steps:

    • We obtain pSB1C3_VP23_HSPG_ko by conducting a PCR with the pAAV_RC_final (which contains the integrated "cap".
    • Fuse the obtained construct pSB1C3_Targeting Molcule to the pSB1C3_VP23_HSPG_ko.
      • Affibody ZEGFR:1907
      • DARPin E_01
      • 6xHis Tag
      • CFP
    • Fuse pSB1C3_VP23_HSPG_ko_Targeting molecule to the construct pCerulean_VP1up_NLS.
    • Finally, for providing the possibilty to express obtained construct in trans: perform a site-directed mutagenesis with the pAAV_RC_final to remove the startcodon of VP1.

    Sequence analysis of pSB1C3_BLA_final (P309)

    Investigator: Bea

    GENERAL COMMENT: pSB1C3_BLA_final (P309) was sent for sequencing. the beta lactamse was inserted and two site-directed mutagenesis have been performed in order to delete the loop insertion restriction enzymes in the CAT marker.


    Comments: Sequence analysis of pSB1C3_BLA_final containing the two deleted restriction sites (SspI and PvuII)in the CAT marker.

    • Primer used:
      • pQE-RP
      • VF-2
    • Plasmid sequenced: P309
    • Sequence sample: SB_9
    • Stored in Geneious-folder: pSB1C3_BLA


    Results:

    The two performed site-directed mutagenesis performed at the backbone of the pSB1C3 containing the beta-lactamase can be confrimed as it can be seen in the two pictures above. Additionally the BLA sequence was sequenced aswell as the insertion of the BLA which can be confirmed with no mutations.


    Next steps: This new plasmid can be used for further experiments. Clone the PCR prdouct of the pAAV_RC into the pSB1C3 and subclone the loop insertion motifs into the vector.

    Picking clones from the ViralBricks

    Investigator: Volker

    Clones from all 14 transformations of the ViralBricks were picked. Because the probability that the ligation worked and that the synthesized oligos do not conatin mutations is quite bad I picked 8 to 10 clones from each ligation, resulting in approximately 150 clones at all. The clones were used to inoculate 5ml of a mixture of 60%LB-media nd 40%DYP-media because our stocks were not sufficient for this experiment.

    Digestion of pSB1C3_NLS (P324)

    Investigator: Patrick

    The NLS was cut out with NgoMIV and EcoRI, therefore the expected size of the hoped-for fragment is 55 bp. About 30 ng DNA can be detected in a 1% gel. According to my calculation there will be maximal 80 ng insert.
    55bp/2019bp = 0,027
    0,027x140 ng/µl = 3,81 ng/µl
    80 ng/3,81 ng/µl = 21 µl

    Digestion: 21 µl pSB1C3_NLS (P324), 2,5 µl EcoRI, 2,5 µl NgoMIV, 3 µl Buffer 4, 1 µl H2O.
    Digestion Time: 2 h 20 minutes.

    The 2% agarose gel was loaded with 36 µl digesteion product including 6 µl 30% glycerol solution. I did not use loading dye because i to prevent that the dye overlay the mutual 55 bp insert.

    Pat2908.JPG

    The gelextraction was performed according to the the standard protocl. The resolution of the picture ist not sufficient to be able to see the band clearly as the gel was put onto the UV-light table a very thin band with the expected size could be seen.
    DNA concentration measurement: 3,28 & 7,7 ng/µl (two measurements). Especially the second value is doubtable because according to my calculation above the insert conccentration cant be higher than 3,81 ng/µl. Labeled: NLS, put into 4°C room.

    Marker: Gene ruler ladder DNA mix, 5 µl

    Used enzymes: SalI, BamHI (in general, SDS has to be added because of the strong binding of enzymes to DNA!)

    Comment: Test digestion had no significant results. In addition, one sample was forgotten, it was not clear which one (description makes no sense). Test digestion has to be repeated.



    Repetition of subcloning Cap-insert into pAAV_RC

    Investigator: Stefan

    Comments: There are still problems with BspMI. It was assumed that longer digestion could improve the results, therefore digestion with BspMI will be performed overnight.
    P.S: Welcome back Hanna!

    Cloning ZEGFR:1907 and 6xHis_middlelinker into pCerulean

    Investigator: Hanna

    Comment: In order to fuse the His-Tag to VP2, the His-Tag-Middlelinker construct will be cloned into the pCerulean plasmid (contains CMV promoter and SV40 terminator) today. In the next step, VP2 will be cloned behind the His-Tag-Middlelinker.
    In addition to that the Affibody (ZEGFR:1907) will be also cloned into pCerulean (without linker). Also here, the next step will be fusing VP2 behind the this targeting molecule.


    Practical Cloning:

    • plasmid:
      • Vector: name: pCerulean; number: P273
      • Insert: name: pSB1C3_6xHis_middlelinker (P310) + pSB1C3_Zegfr:1907 (because P267 was empty, P285 was used! See lab day 23.08.!)
    • new vector name: pCerulean_6xHis_middlelinker + pCerulean_Zegfr:1907
    • buffer used: 4; Restriction-enzymes used: XbaI and PstI


    Comments: Because the P267 tube was empty (!), P285 was used which was prepared by Jessy - I don't know whether this is a trafo of the glycerol stock? Sequenced?

    PCR of SV 40 terminator

    Investigator: Bea

    Comment: In order to obtain the SV40 poly adenylation site and clone it into the iGEM standard plasmid pSB1C3 a PCR needs to be performed with the pEGFP-C1 which contains the SV40 terminator.


    • Plasmid used for PCR: pEGFP-C1 (P230)
    • 1:1000 dilution of P230 has been prepared
    • Plasmid used as vector: pSB1C3_CFP1 (P51.2)


    PCR (was performed following the standard protocol)

    Ingredients Volume / µl

    4 98 15s
    17x6725s
    5727s
    6x725min
    Hold4

    After the PCR was performed, the sample was loaded on a 1.5% agarose gel and run for 30 minutes. As it can be seen in the picture below the expected size of the PCR product (260bp) can be confirmed. The lower band corresponds to the added primers and does not seem to be an additional band.


    For cloning the obtained fragment into the pSB1C3 standard vector, the construct need to be digested with the same restriction enzymes as the PCR product will be cut with. In this case the primers were designed with XbaI overhang for the prefix, and with SpeI-NotI-PstI overhang for the suffix. Therefore the vector will be cut with XbaI and PstI. The sample were incubated at 37 C for approx. 1.5 h

    • Plasmid used: pSB1C3_CFP (P51.2) c=150ng/µL
    • Add BSA
    • XbaI and PstI were used

    • Incubation of the sample at 37°C
    • Incubation for 120 minutes


    After the PCR has been cut out of the gel and purified with the Qiagen Gel Extraction Kit obtaining a concentration of 45 ng/µl measured with the Nanodrop, the complete PCR product volume of 29 µL was digested with XbaI and PstI for 2 hours.

    The digested PCR product SV40 was purifed with the PC Purification Kit and concentration was measured.

    • cSV40= 31,5 ng/µl
    • cpSB1C3= 7,74 ng/µL

    For T4 ligation of the two fragments, the needed volumes of insert (SV40) and vector (pSB1C3) were calculated with the labtools program. The total volume DNA (vector/insert) mix will be 8 µL.

    • vSV40= 0,67 µL
    • vpSB1C3= 7,33 µL
    • vT4 buffer= 1 µL
    • vt4 ligase= 1 µL

    The ligation reaction was carried out for 40 minutes at room temperature. The ligated plasmid was transformed into XL1-Blue cells and plated on agar plates containing the appropriate amount of chloramphenicol.

    My dear friend, where is your initial comment? Nice gel :) Yours sincerely, Hanna :)

    see: http://www.molbiotech.uni-freiburg.de/iGEM/wiki2010/index.php/August_2010#Strategy_for_VP2_N-terminal_fusion_and_VP1_insertion_of_targeting_moelcules
    Haha, good idea! :)
    Freiburg10 3108pat2.JPG


    Gelextraction: Obviously there was something wrong with the gel or the sample. The marked bands were cut out and the gelextraction was performed acording to he standard protocol, yielding the following concentrations:
    P276 up: 12,6 ng/µl
    P276 down: 9,9 ng/µl
    P273: 37,7 ng/µl

    All of them were polluted.

    There were two bands at a level where no bands should be. P 276 looks also strange because accidentally 6,5 µl 1kb GeneRuler were pipetted into the sample. The expected bands are all blurred. Even the expected 756 bp fragment of P273 is not at the level it should be. To ensure i dont throw away the insert i cut out both bands from P276. Now tomorrow there will be a ligation and a transformation with two samples instead of one



    Sequencing results of pSB1C3_6xHis_middlelinker and pSB1C3_6xHis_mVenus

    1st Comment: Sequencing of pSB1C3_6xHis_middlelinker looked good:


    Freiburg10 6xHis middlelinker.JPG

    2nd Comment: Sequencing of mVenus looked good. The His-Tag delivered 2 additional bp and the suffix 1 transition (see picture). This could be due to bad sequencing qualities at this region... but needs to be verified!
