Week 8
Monday 20th August 2007
- Chrsitine did more minipreps for colonies suspected of containing the 7 gene operon. When these minipreps were run on a gel there was no evidence of an insert.
Tuesday 21st August 2007
- Christine cloned (*a→g*) into TOPO vectors using different ratios of PCR product:TOPO vector (see Protocol 12 ). Ratios were 0.5ul:1ul, 1ul:1ul, and 2ul:1ul.
- TOPO vectors with different ratios of PCR product:TOPO vector were tranformed (see Protocol 13 (with 30 sec heat shock at 42°C and 250ul of 37°C LB instead of SOC medium))and grown overnight on kanamycin plates at 37°C, each reaction divided into 100ul and ~200ul per plate.
-
Maija digested the construction vectors 3/20G and 4/6B, and the 7 gene operon with SpeI and XbaI (Protocol 7) with the intention of then ligating the 7 gene operon into the construction vectors. The 7 gene operon DNA (taken from sample 2 of the PCR which was gel extracted 13/08/07) did not appear on the gel.
Label Description Enzymes Expected size Result 3/20G Construction vector SpeI, XbaI 2071bp 2071bp 4/6B Construction vector SpeI, XbaI 2928bp 2928bp (*a→g*) 7 gene operon SpeI, XbaI 6263bp No result - Christine gel extracted 4/6B and 3/20G (see Protocol 11) using 30ul ddH2O at 60°C to elute the DNA.
- To check presence of the 7 gene operon in the samples of PCR product (gel extracted 13/08/07), Christine restriction digested the sample with EcoRI (see Protocol 7). Expected sizes were 928bp, 2622bp and 2713bp. No DNA was present in the gel. It is now thought that the gel extraction has not worked.
- Overnights of TOP10 cells prepared for *cells.
Wednesday 22nd August 2007
- Christine did PCR for (*a→g*) using KOD XL and KOD XL programme (see Protocol 9) with annealing temperature of 55ºC and extension time of 6 mins. Resulted in extremely faint band approximately 7kb in size.
- Christine also did PCR for (*a→d*) and (*d→g*) using KOD and KOD programme (see Protocol 9) with annealing temperature of 55ºC and extension time of 2 mins. Each gave a clear band approximately 3.5kb in size.
Thursday 23rd August 2007
- GoTaq was added to each of the PCR products of (*a→g*), (*a→d*) and (*d→g*) from 22/08/07. They were then extended at 72ºC for 10 minutes. Once run on a 1% gel for 30 mins at 100v they were gel extracted (see Protocol 11 ), cloned into TOPO vectors(see Protocol 12 ), transformed into TOP10 cells(see Protocol 13 )and grown overnight at 37°C on kanamycin plates, each reaction divided into 100ul and ~200ul per plate.
