=== Part/Plasmid Numberings ===

The following are the numbering of the parts/plasmids that we use in the lab. Please use the same numberings if you label something when working in the lab. Extend the list for new concatenated parts.

 +
* Digest of pacyc177 with BamHI (45 µl), then precipitated, in the gel was still very much DNA, but there were still 3 bands, so we guess, that it hasn't cut, maybe because the BamHI in the center is very old, perhaps we should Digest it in Höngg again.

* test digest of pck01 with notI, but due to the low DNA concentration I don't think it will work. I took glooves, if it now work, then we have caught some DNases in the earlier test digests

Week 7

Mon, 17. Sept. 2007

Hönggerberg:

  • new digest of pACYC177 with BamHI+PstI o/n

Zentrum:

  • digest of pACYC177, pBR322 AP
  • ligation of 177 and 322AP

Zentrum:

  • digest of pBR322 AP (the concentration of DNA was too low for pacyc177...)
  • ligation of pBR322 o/n
  • 100 ml o/n culture to MAXIprep pacyc177
  • Transformation of pBR322 AP to have it on plates (because andy only miniprepped them)

Hönngerberg:
Christian
Zentrum:
Martin, Raphael

Tue, 18. Sept. 2007

Hönggerberg:

  • different control digests of pBR322-MCS (Tet) (see last week)
  • separation of pACYC177 digest

Zentrum:

  • Test Digests of pck01 with XbaI, SpeI, PstI, Xba/Pst, Xba/Spe (because all of them should be in the plasmid due to the sequence, and if they are it would be crap!!!)
  • Transformation of the ligated pbr322 AP (MCS)
  • Prep pacyc177
  • Digest prepped pacyc177

Hönggerberg:
> no DNA on pACYC177 digest-gel, only degradation smear

Zentrum:

  • Plates of pbr322 AP grew
  • No Digest of pck01 worked due to too low DNA concentration... (che cazzo di low copy plasmids !!!!)
  • Miniprepped only 20 ml of the pacyc o/n culture with Quiagen Kit, the results were great! We have loads of DNA! (thank god! )
  • Digest of pacyc177 with BamHI (45 µl), then precipitated, in the gel was still very much DNA, but there were still 3 bands, so we guess, that it hasn't cut, maybe because the BamHI in the center is very old, perhaps we should Digest it in Höngg again.
  • Digest of pacyc177 with PstI o/n (pray that it will work!)
  • New o/n cultures of pck01 (to prep it like pacyc177), pbr322 AP (to prep it too, to have something on stock again, if the ligation didn't work), top10 (to make new competent cells)
  • test digest of pck01 with notI, but due to the low DNA concentration I don't think it will work. I took glooves, if it now work, then we have caught some DNases in the earlier test digests

Höngg:
Christian
Zentrum:
Martin, Raphael

Wed, 19. Sept. 2007

Zentrum:

  • o/n culture of pbr322 AP (MCS), then test digest and see if it is ligated
  • Prep of pck01 and test digests (xba, pst, spe, pvuI, notI)
  • check the digests of pacyc177 (pst) and pck01 (notI)
  • design new linkers for pck01, design primers for PCR for the extraction of SpeI from pck01
