Cloning of SOD into pMA.His

Transformation results

From 28 28/8 Good colony yield. Four colonies (SH1-SH4) picked for colony PCR.

Colony PCR

  • SH1-SH4: pMA.SOD⋅His
  • PC: Positive control; pMA.His
  • NC: Negative control; blank

Procedures according to standard colony PCR protocol. Elongation time 1:00.

Gel verification

Gel verification of SOD cloning into pMA.His.
3 μl λ, 4 μl sample.
λ=O'GeneRuler 1 kb DNA ladder.

1 % agarose, 100 V

Expected bands:

  • pMA.SOD⋅His: 831 bp
  • pMA.His: 348 bp

Results
Well corresponding bands indicating successful insertion of SOD into the vector.

ON cultures

SH1 and SH2 selected for plasmid prep and sequencing. Set 5 ml LB + 100 Amp ON cultures. 37 °C, 225 rpm.

N-CPP extraction

Gel extraction

From 28/8 samples Purification using the E.Z.N.A. Gel Extraction kit. Elution in 30 μl dH2O; double elution.

Phenolate contaminated sample? High absorbtion at 230 nm [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acids_analysis#Other_common_contaminants]
DNA concentrations
Sample Conc. [ng/μl] A260/A280
Tra10 13.56 1.86
TAT 1.736 1.20
LMWP † 2.523 2.69

Gel verification

Gel verification of extracted N-CPPs.
3 μl λ; 2 μl sample.
λ=GeneRuler 50 bp DNA ladder

Ran a gel to verify that the presence and size of our extracted DNA fragments.

1 % agarose, 100 V

Results
Weak band for Tra10, no bands for TAT and LMWP. Proceeded to cloning anyway.

Cloning of N-CPPs into pSB1C3

A last-minute decision was made to also make a bulk cloning of all three N-CPPs by digesting directly from the N-CPP cluster vector.

Dephosphorylation

Treated the N-CPP sample with FastAP alkaline phosphatase to prevent multiple insertions (3, 5, etc...) into target vector.

  • 3 μl FastAP
    • Incubation: 37 °C, 10 min
  • Inactivation at 75 °C, 5 min

Ligation
