anyone really keen to write this up, up to protein visualization? Don't forget to mention the differing restriction enzymes and vectors of each team. I can add in links to the protocols page.

Please also refer to our Protocols page.

Sequencing results
 
16/7/12 Δ15

    Δ15 and Δ6 desaturases from Synechocystis in pET-15b were sent off for sequencing. Once again, the results were discouraging even though protein and lipid analysis showed the opposite. BLAST showed that the gene found in both samples corresponded to a T. brucei HMG-CoA reductase which we thought we had cut out from the plasmid. We thus performed a PCR, using the vectors sent off for sequencing as a template.

    Sequence


 
16/7/12 Δ6

    Sequence


 
29/6/12 ELO6

    After showing successful insertion of L. major Δ6 elongase in pET-15b, the sample was sent off for sequencing. Unfortunately, the gene sequenced was not the Δ6 elongase we were hoping to find, but a T. brucei mevalonate kinase, which was previously inserted in the pET-15b vectors we had been using. Thus, we digested some fresh pET-15b to be used in the future.

    Sequence


 
23/7/12 Δ12

    15b forward gave 0 nucleotides

    15b reverse gave 0 nucleotides

    20b forward gave a 41 nucleotide result.

    Sequence
      gCGnCctGntGCCgCGCGGCnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngac

    A BLAST search showed this to be compatible with Crocosphaera watsonii (genome shotgun sequence, 21%), a diazotrophic cyanobacteria. Add in relations to synechocystis.

    20b reverse gave 0 nucleotides


 

 
Lipid analysis
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

who knows what those Metal Mickies are up to. Eating nachos in the Whey Pat most likely. MEGA LOLS (all caps, with a Z).

For primer annealing in the PCR, the primer sequences were combined in the following way:

  • GST Forward and Ni Reverse
  • GST Forward and Ni2 Reverse
  • GST Forward and Pd Reverse
  • GST Forward and Pt Reverse

    •  
    Digestion
     

    pGEX-6P-1 was cut using EcoR1(954) and Xho1 (975)


     
    Transformation
     

    pGEX vector with insert transformed into DH5α E. coli cells to replicate.

    pGEX vector with G-Block insert transformed into DH5α E. coli cells to replicate.


     

    pGEX vector with insert transformed into BL21 E. coli cells for protein expression.

    pGEX vector with G-Block insert transformed into BL21 E. coli cells for protein expression.
