Mon, 6th August 2007

From 11 until 14 o'clock
Present were : Corinna, Dario, Kristian, Moritz, Natalia, Philipp

Discussion of the result from last week
Planning the sites for the specific iGEM-cutting sites:
    - ca. 20% done.
blac1-calmodulin-blac2:
    - Test of the background with concentrations of ampicillin till 200 µl/ml; all positive! Planning the PCB:
    - Requesting information about  the complete plasmid; Waiting for answer
    - Planning a strategy to clone parts from the iGEM-Kit, in the case that we have to put the plasmid together ourself
dhfr1-winzip-dhfr2a:
    - The last sequencing showed failures on the construct.For the new sequencing were another clon selected. The DNA for the next sequence has been already prepared.
Planing-strategy for Fhy1 and PhyA:
    - possible combinations were: dhfr1-Fhy1; PhyA-dhfr2; blac1- Fhy1; PhyA-blac2; Combinations with YFP/CFP could be clone by Urs.

Planing the work for next week ( 6.8. bis 10.8.2007 )

2. Digestion and sequencing of the plasmid pFR320dp-blac1-calm-blac2 with 3 different linker-lenghts (Natalia, Dario)
3. Planing the PCR-Primer for PhyA and Fhy1.  (Moritz)
4. Cloning of the PCB-Enzyms from iGEM-Kit  (Moritz)
5. Purification of the constructs:
    Preparations for the overnigth culture and the expression culture (Corinna)
    Measuring the OD and cell-harvest (Philipp, Dario)
    Dialysis (Philipp, Max)
6. Digitalization of the lab protocols (Corinna, Natalia)
7. Repeating the background-test fot the  - 4GlyLinker-plasmid-  (on plates)with ampicillin concentrations 50, 100, 200 und 400 µg/ml (Max)

20.15 Uhr: Photo from gel done; Analysis: just one band between 2500 and 3000bp, the expected bands were not to see in the photo or in gel. Maybe was the concentration of DNA too low, because the big band was also really weak in the gel.

Thu, 9th August 2007

Group meeting (12 - 14 Uhr)
    Present were: Natalia, Corinna, Dario, Moritz, Max, Philipp

General topics:
    - To mark better the Eppis (Date, Plasmid/Cells, were a sequence/digestion done, if fragment write the enzyme)
    - List of the content of the lab plasmid-boxes (Dario)
    - Preparation for a new "just" plasmid-box

Results since the last meeting and further planning:

1. Digestion and sequencing of pFR320dp-blac1-winzip-blac2:
    - unclear finding; Digestion were done again: preparation of one overnight culture from Glycerol stock - Mini prep - Digestion (Philipp, Natalia)
2. Digestion and sequencing of plasmid pFR320dp-blac1-calmo-blac2:
    - unclear finding; Repeating digestion with more DNA and more enzyme, shorter time for the gel electrophoresis
3. Primer for PhyA and Fhy1: is running (Moritz)
4. PCB: is running (Moritz)
5. Purification of constructs blac1-4-calmo-4-blac2: - low growth of the overnight-culture; also low growth in the expression culture
    possible explanation: wrong CAM-concentration, Temperaturedepende of the plasmid copies(28 °C!) , XL-1 blue, toxic product
    Sunday: Prepare an overnight culture for all 3 constructs of clone 1 (Corinna)
6. Digitalization: is running (Natalia, Corinna)
7. Background test (AMP):
    - Growth for every construct and all tested concentrations,constitutive activity?
8. Digestion and sequencing of the plasmid pFR320dp-blac1-winzip-dhfr2 (Dario)

new project:
- smaller lactamase-fragment from the plasmid has been removed (Umklonierung)


Moritz (9.30 - 15 o´clock):
- Transformation of the Ligation into RV 308 (chem. competent):
the Ligations of Vector + Insert1 (pSB1A2/B0034 + I15008),
as well as Vector + Insert2 (pSB1A2/B0034 + I15009)were transformed.
- talk with Kristian concerning the Primers for FHY1 and PhyA:

Corinna (8.00 - 9.30 Uhr):
- In the overnigth assays was just a little bacterial growth to see, in one of the assays was the medium even still clear.
- Anyhow: Preparation of the expression culture for the following purification of the constructs of blac1-4calmo4-blac2

Dario (8.30 - 16 Uhr):
- Running gel and digestion for plasmid dFR320_b1_winzip_dhfr2a with KpnI and AflIII, result showed all the expected bands
- Running a gel of the digestion from plasmid pFR320_b1_#calmo#_b2, result didn't showed all the expected bands, 
    possible mistakes: volume of the plasmid or the gel-running time was too long.
- Repetition of the digestion of plasmid pFR320_b1_#calmo#_b2 with SpeI und KpnI. 
- Measurements of the OD form expression culture pFR320p_blac1_4calmo4_blac2 (from Corinna):
    OD value were to low and nothing growth. The experiment must be repeated. Is going to be probably with pFR320p_blac1_2calmo2_blac2 repeated.
Max (12 - 16Uhr):
- Auszählen der verschieden konzentrierten AMP platten mit b1-calmo-b2 konstrukten ergab, dass alle platten
übertrieben bewachsen wahren und keine Aussage über die Funktionalität der unterschiedlichen Konstrukte
getroffen werden konnte. Grund dafür ist wohl fehlerhaftes Ampicilin , dass für die Platten verwendet wurde!
- Ansetzen von 20 1ml Aliquots Ampicilin (100 mg/ml) für neue platten und verdünnungstestreihe der konstrukte
Philipp (12-16Uhr):

Fr, 10th August 2007

Moritz (9 - 14 o´clock):
- preperation of an overnight culture from Transformation - Plates:
The colonies grow to an high density! The plates could contain the wrong antibiotic (unfortunately I recognized it too late) that is why the Colis (RV 308) could have lost the plasmid!!
- Primer design (PhyA u. FHY1) is nearly completed.

- Aufzucht von b1-calmo-b2 zellen mit 2,4 und 6 Glycinen linker aus den Glycerin stocks für 1 Stunde

Sa, 11th August 2007

Max (12.30 - 14.00 uhr):
- Auszählen der Platten mit den unterschiedlichen Amp Konzentrationen; Dabei war ein Trend der Zellen mit 2- und 6 Glycinen Linker zu erkennen, bei höheren Amp konzentrationen schlechter zu wachsen! Die Zellen mit 4 Glycinen als Linker zeigten überhaupt kein wachstum auf 50, 200 und 400 µg Amp wobei auf 100 µg nur 4 veeinzelte klone zu sehen waren. Mit Klon 1 b1- 4calmo4 -b2 sollte eine weitere Verdünnungsreihe unter Zugabe verschiedener Calciumtiter durchgeführt werden!

Su, 12th August 2007

Corinna: (13.00 -14.15 Uhr)
- Preparation of the overnigth cultures from the glycerol stocks with the cells with different linker-lenghts (always clone 1 was used) at 28 °C; Cell-growth should be monitored, because in the last overnigth culture assay was the cell-growth too low (with linker-lenght AAcids).
