#Maia and Christine researched restriction enzymes for the reporter constructs and Mini-Tn5s streaked on 4/7/07 and digested some. Had planned to make biobricks using Mini-Tn5s etc but discovered that a previous attempt to use transposable elements to make biobricks had been unsuccessful due to scarring at the restriction site. http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J61206

#Scott and Lynsey grew DmpR and DmpR #24 overnight in LB with Tc and Carb.  This is because the plates streaked on 4/7/07  for DmpR and DmpR #24 did not grow, and restriction digests on 9/7/07 used up most of the DNA.  What is grown will be mini-prepped and restriction digested tomorrow.

#*'''Plan B'''<br>DmpR is not working – not growing or digesting as we would expect it to.  Instead of DmpR we will try XylR which detects BETX compounds (benzene, toluene, and xylene) and DntR which detects salictlate and could be modified to detect TNT and DNT.  For this we will be using pGLTUR and pQF52.

#Searched GenBank for pWW0 which contains XylR, Pr and Pu.  Saved in BioEdit.
+
-
#Using the XylR sequence (Inouye et al, 1988) we were able to design primers for the amplification of XylR.
+
-
#Using previously designed primers (Willardson et al, 1998) we were able to locate the beginning of Pr and designed primers to amplify the sequence between the beginning of Pr and the beginning of XylR.
+
-
#From previously designed primers (Willardson et al, 1998) we were able to locate a sequence we believed to be Pu and designed primers. To be sure we also searched pWW0 sequence with Primer3 to locate on the plasmid where the Willardson Pu primers would attach. Using BioEdit we located another sequence we also suspect to be Pu. We now have primers designed for both suspected sequences.
+
-
#Also designed primers for site directed mutagenesis of the PstI site in XylR.

(We were unable to use the Willardson primers for our purposes because they were designed to contain restriction sites, instead we used them to locate the genes of interest).

#Scott found an article containing the sequence for DntA and some of DntR, then we used BlastX to find the sequence of DntR.  From this we were able to design primers to amplify the sequence.
