It is important to insert parts responsible for the production of fluorescent proteins in low copy plasmids, as they are potentially harmful for the cell. Unfortunately, working with low copy plasmids makes the procedure more demanding in the lab.

===Linkers===
+
= Introduction =
-
Because the plasmids used were not standard plasmids found in the registry, but came from the lab where we work, linkers compatible with the standard BioBrick assembly have to be used in order to work with them. The list of all linkers is the following:
+
On this page, you can find information about how educatETH <i>E.coli</i> was implemented in the lab. More specifically, you will find information on the plasmid strains we used, the modifications we did to them in order to be compatible with the Biobrick library and our cloning plan. Moreover, you can find [[ETHZ/Biology/Labbook| here]] an (unfortunately not complete) electronic copy of our lab notebook. If you are here because you are interested in implementing educatETH <i>E.coli</i> in your lab, then our System Implementation and the System Parts pages may be of help to you!

For all our cloning procedures we used standard protocols according to ''SAMBROOK and RUSSELL'' Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual [1].

=== Procedure ===
 
-
The standard BioBrick assembly will be used to put the parts in the plasmids. Detailed information on how the BioBrick part fabrication works can be found  [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Synthetic_Biology:BioBricks/Part_fabrication here]. For a shorter explanation of how to assemble 2 parts together check [http://partsregistry.org/Assembly:Standard_assembly here]. [[Image:Assembly _process.png|thumb|300px|DNA assembly process ([1]) '''(Fig. 4)''']] Note that the composite part is constructed from the end to the beginning, i.e. each new part is inserted ''before'' the existing one. In the following, the plasmid containing the new part to be inserted will be referred to as the ''donor'' and the plasmid accepting the new part will be referred to as the ''acceptor''. Composite pars made of parts '''a''' and '''b''' are denoted '''a.b'''.

==== Plasmid 1 ''(pbr322ap)'' ====
 
-
# Put parts 1,2,3 in  pbr322ap plasmids.
+
== Plasmids ==
-
# Merge plasmid containing part '''2''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing part '''3''' ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''2.3''' composite part.
+
For our system we needed three plasmids with different origins of replication and antibiotic resistances. We decided to take low copy plasmids. We also decided to use the following plasmids, which we wanted to modify so that they would become compatible to the Biobrick Library multiple cloning site:
-
# Merge plasmid containing part '''1''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing composite part '''2.3'''  ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''1.2.3''' composite part.
+
-
==== Plasmid 2 ''(pck01cm)''====
 
-
# Put parts 4,5,8,9 in  pck01cm plasmids.
+
=== Basic plasmids ===
-
# Merge plasmid containing part '''4''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing part '''5''' ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''4.5''' composite part.
+
-
# Merge plasmid containing part '''8''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing part '''9''' ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''8.9''' composite part. ''Note'': this step can be done simultaneously with the above.
+
-
# Merge plasmid containing composite part '''4.5''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing composite part '''8.9''' ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''4.5.8.9''' composite part.
+

====Plasmid 3 ''(pacyc177km)''====

=== Changes to the plasmids ===
-
# Merge plasmid containing part '''6''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing part '''7''' ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''6.7''' composite part.
+
In order to get the Biobrick multiple cloning site into the plasmids, we had to make several changes to the plasmids:
-
# Merge plasmid containing part '''10''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing part '''11''' ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''10.11''' composite part. ''Note'': this step can be done simultaneously with the above.
+
-
# Merge plasmid containing composite part '''6.7''' ''(donor)'' with plasmid containing composite part '''10.11''' ''(acceptor)''. You should get a plasmid containing a '''6.7.10.11''' composite part.

It is important to insert parts responsible for the production of fluorescent proteins in low copy plasmids, as they are potentially harmful for the cell. Unfortunately, working with low copy plasmids makes the procedure more demanding in the lab.

The standard BioBrick assembly will be used to put the parts in the plasmids. Detailed information on how the BioBrick part fabrication works can be found [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Synthetic_Biology:BioBricks/Part_fabrication here]. For a shorter explanation of how to assemble 2 parts together check [http://partsregistry.org/Assembly:Standard_assembly here]. [[Image:Assembly _process.png|thumb|300px|DNA assembly process [8]]] Note that the composite part is constructed from the end to the beginning, i.e. each new part is inserted ''before'' the existing one. Composite parts made of parts '''a''' and '''b''' are denoted '''a.b'''.

-
* 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

Introduction

On this page, you can find information about how educatETH E.coli was implemented in the lab. More specifically, you will find information on the plasmid strains we used, the modifications we did to them in order to be compatible with the Biobrick library and our cloning plan. Moreover, you can find here an (unfortunately not complete) electronic copy of our lab notebook. If you are here because you are interested in implementing educatETH E.coli in your lab, then our System Implementation and the System Parts pages may be of help to you!

For all our cloning procedures we used standard protocols according to SAMBROOK and RUSSELL Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual [1].

Strains

We used the following E. coli strains:


[http://openwetware.org/wiki/E._coli_genotypes#TOP10_.28Invitrogen.29|E. coli Top10 (Invitrogen):]

  • You can find this strain at [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_V1009 BBa_V1009]
  • This strain has a streptomycin resistance

Plasmids

For our system we needed three plasmids with different origins of replication and antibiotic resistances. We decided to take low copy plasmids. We also decided to use the following plasmids, which we wanted to modify so that they would become compatible to the Biobrick Library multiple cloning site:


Basic plasmids

Plasmid Resistances Copy number Origin Map
pBR322 [2,3] Ampicillin, Tetracyline 15-20 [4] pMB1
pBR322 Map
pCK01 [5] Chloramphenicol 5-12 [4] pSC101
pCK01 Map
pACYC177 [6,7] Ampicillin, Kanamycin 10-12 [4] p15A
pACYC177 Map


Changes to the plasmids

In order to get the Biobrick multiple cloning site into the plasmids, we had to make several changes to the plasmids:


Plasmid Changes New name New resistance New Map
[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I739201 BBa_I739201]
  • Site directed mutagenesis: Changed the GCA codon of the PstI site of the bla gene into GTA
  • Cloned in linker oligos (EcoRI/BamHI)

Cloning plan

Parts assignment into plasmids

The plan was to put the following parts into the three plasmids (for the detailed cloning procedure see below):

plasmid resistance copy type contents comments
[http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I739201 BBa_I739201] ampicillin low [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I739001 BBa_I739001(TetR) ], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I739002 BBa_I739002(LacI) ], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I739003 BBa_I739003(LuxR) ] constitutive subsystem

It is important to insert parts responsible for the production of fluorescent proteins in low copy plasmids, as they are potentially harmful for the cell. Unfortunately, working with low copy plasmids makes the procedure more demanding in the lab.


Cloning procedure

The standard BioBrick assembly will be used to put the parts in the plasmids. Detailed information on how the BioBrick part fabrication works can be found [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Synthetic_Biology:BioBricks/Part_fabrication here]. For a shorter explanation of how to assemble 2 parts together check [http://partsregistry.org/Assembly:Standard_assembly here].
DNA assembly process [8]
Note that the composite part is constructed from the end to the beginning, i.e. each new part is inserted before the existing one. Composite parts made of parts a and b are denoted a.b.
