digestion

I tried to digest the mini-prep products again, and after Ethanol precipitation, we did electrophoresis.

transformation

I think that the E. coli which we use transformation is BL21(DE3)pLysS. So, the E. coli could multiplication increase on LBC plate.
I'm going to do transformation , use DH5α. Transformation of plasmid DNA ligated in 25th (pT7-RBS-Ag43-dT on pSB1K3) in E. coli(DH5α).

1. Added 2 ul of plasmid DNA to 50 ul of thawed competent cells on ice.
2. Incubated on ice for 30 min.
3. Added 200 ul of LB then incubated the cells for 2 hours at 37C.
4. Prepared and Labeled two petri dishes with LBK.
5. Plate 200 ul of the transformation onto first dish and spread.
6. Added 450 ul of LB to 50 ul of the transformation and plated 200ul of it onto second dish and spread.
7. Incubated the plates at 37C for 14 hours.

liquid culture

Liquid culture for pT7-RBS-Ag43-dT on pSB1K3.

1. Added 2 ml of LBK into culture tubes.
2. Resuspended colonies.
3. Incubated the tubes at 37C for

mini-prep

mini-prep of pT7-RBS-Ag43-dT which had been cultivated from yesterday. We used FastGene Plasmid Mini Kit(Nippon Genetics) and got 50 ul of DNA solutions.

Our competent cell Protocol

1. Single colony isolation on LB plate
2. incubated the plate for 15-19 hours at 37℃
3. lift colony of E. coli into 2 ml LB
4. cultured cells at 37℃ for 12-16 hours at 180-200 rpm
5. transfered 30 ul, 100 ul, 300 ul of the culture into 100 ml of LB , respectively
6. cultured cells at 20℃ (for 24 hours over) at 140 rpm
7. selected culture by measuring OD 600
8. left the 300 ml flask for 10 min on ice
9. transfered the culture into two 50 ml Falcon tube
10. centrifuged 3000 rpm at 4℃ for 20 min (TOMY LX-120 rotor), and discard sup
11. suspended the pellet in ice-cold 15 ml of TB (Transformation Buffer)(7.5 ml/tube)
12. collected them in one tube
13. centrifuged 3000 rpm at 4℃ for 20 min (TOMY LX-120 rotor), and discard sup
14. suspended the pellet in ice-cold 3.2 ml of TB
15. Instiled 0.24 ml of DMSO in precipitant
16. left the 50 ml Falcon tube for 10 min on ice
17. divide 50ul of solutions in each 0.5 ml tubes
18. Freezed the suspension in liquid nitrogen
19. stored at –80℃

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis of digestion result of yesterday(pT7-RBS on pSB1K3 cut with SpeI)

Electrophoresis result

There were low concentration band in above of thin band. This thin band was same as digestion minus band.

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis for the result of digestion(see the yesterday notebook).

Electrophoresis result

Gel extraction

Gel extraction for digestion production. We used FastGene Gel&PCR extraction kit(NipponGenetics)and got 50 ul of DNA solution.

Ethanol precipitation

Ethanol precipitation for digestion and gel extraction product.

1. Added 5ul of NaoAc, 1.5 ul of glycogen and 125ul of 100% ethanol.
2. Centrifuged in 15000 rpm, 10 min at 4C.
3. Remove supernatant and added 220ul of 70% ethanol.
4. Centrifuged in 15000 rpm, 5 min at 4C.
5. Remove supernatant and air drying in room temperature then added 10 ul of DW.

Ligation

We ligated pT7-RBS on pSB1K3 (digested Spe1) as vector and Ag43-dT (digested Spe1 and Xba1 and HindIII) as insert.

Ligation reaction time was written below.

Transformation

Transformation of plasmid DNA ligation product (pT7-RBS-Ag43-dT on pSB1K3) in E. coli(DH5α).

1. Added 1ul of plasmid DNA to 50ul of thawed competent cells on ice.
2. Incubated on ice for 30min.
3. Added 600ul of LB then incubated the cells for 2 hrs at 37C.
4. Prepared and Labeled two petri dishes with LBK.
5. Plate 300ul of the transformation onto first dish and spread.
6. Added 900ul of LB to 100ul of the transformation and plated 300ul of it onto second dish and spread.
7. Incubated the plates at 37C for 15 hrs 45 min (20:45~12:30).

PCR

PCR to confirm Ag43-f4 primer.

Cycle:2~4 x 45

PCR result

In this result, we could see that the ag43-f4 primer had worked and DNA of last 500~600 bp of ag43 to BioBrick suffix were amplified.

Colony PCR

Colony PCR to confirm that whether the Ag43-dT was successfully ligated with pT7-RBS on pSB1K3 or not.

Cycle:2~4 x 35

We used N1 (DW only) and N2 (Ag43-dT on pSB1AK3) as controls. Desired product is about 500~600bp.

Colony PCR result

We thought that No.5 and 9 colonies were made in exactly transformed in E.coli. and No.10 colony had high concentration band. Next step, we resuspended these three colonies and cultured.

Liquid culture

Liquid culture of colonies passed the colony PCR test.

1. Added 2 ml of LBK into culture tubes.
2. Resuspended 3 colonies.
3. Incubated the tubes at 37C for 13 hrs.
