Ag43, dT

Electrophoresis

Results of digestion in 15th.

Digestion result image

Product:Ag43(K346007)=3120bp and 2070bp, pT7-RBS on pSB1K3=2247bp We confirmed there are some kind of restriction enzyme site in K346007 (digested with SpeI, PstI) and pT7-RBS on pSB1K3 was successfully digested with EcoRI and PstI. Balance between d+(EcoRI) and d+(E&P:cut with EcoRI and PstI) is about 80bp.

Gel Extraction

Gel Extraction for digestion products. We used FastGene Gel&PCR extraction kit(NipponGenetics). Got 50ul of DNA solution.

Ethanol Precipitation

Ethanol Precipitation for digestion and gel extraction products.

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


dT(B0015) would be amplified incorrectly and couldn't get enough digestion product. So we tried another DNA amplification method: PCR then digested.

We migrated B0015 mini-prep psoduct, digestion product, and PCR product. PCRed dT would have 429bp(100bp(added by forward primer) + 129bp(dT) + 200bp(added by reverse primer)). Most bright and thick band in this image has about 300~400 bp. We thought dT was amplified successfully.

There are same results with digestion result of recent. We thought PstI would cut different site. What is this 500bp fragment????

Gel extraction

Gel Extraction for digestion products. We used FastGene Gel&PCR extraction kit(NipponGenetics). Got 50ul of DNA solution.


Liquid Culture

Liquid culture for single colony isolated pT7-RBS on pSB1C3 and Ag43-dT on pSB1T3. Ag43-dT on pSB1T3 colonies were closely existed so we would picked up two or more colonies.

  1. Picked up one (or tow?) colony from single colony isolated plates by platinum loop.
  2. Dipped into 2ml of LBC and LBT.
  3. Cultivated.

July 17th

Ag43-dT on pSB1T3 and pT7-RBS on pSB1C3

Mini-prep

Mini-prep for Ag43-dT on pSB1T3 and pT7-RBS on pSB1C3 liquid culture products cultivated from yesterday(16th). We used FastGene Plasmid Mini Kit(Nippon Genetics) and got 50ul of DNA solutions.

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis for digestion product of K346007(Ag43) with EcoRI and SpeI as a reference to confirm SpeI cuts correct site or not and PstI didn't work correctly(in past experiments). And mini-prep products of Ag43-dT on pSB1T3 and pT7-RBS on pSB1C3 also migrated. If digestion were succeeded, there are two bands would be seen: about 3120bp and 2070bp. And if ligation-transformation-mini-prep were succeeded, there would be existed two bands in each lanes: about 5000bp and 2000bp.

Digestion and mini-prep result image

In this result we confirmed Ag43 was successfully digested with EcoRI and SpeI, and there were no other extra bands which had been existed double digested with EcoRI & PstI and SpeI & PstI. would PstI not work correctly?


We planed to use dT as vector and Ag43 as Insert. A problem is if dT on pSB1AK3 is used as vector and Ag43 used as insert, we can't select correct Ag43 band in gel extraction phase because DNA bp of Ag43 is nearly same as pSB1AK3. Thus we tried to use dT on pSB1T3 as vector and Ag43 on pSB1C3 as vector and ligate with standard assembly.


About mini-prep products, in Ag43-dT on pSB1T3, there were two plasmid DNA bands about 8000bp and 3000bp in one lane. We thought which means we failed single colony isolation then resuspended two another E.coli colonies another ligated DNA were transformed. In pT7-RBS on pSB1C3, we needed about 2000bp plasmid DNA and there were about 1500bp of DNA. Plasmid DNA migrates more far than linear DNA so we thought we got correct DNA.


To confirm mini-prep products were really ligated correct DNA fragments, first we gel extracted Ag43-dT on pSB1T3(low bp band) and digested with EcoRI and PstI.


dT Vector plasmid change To use dT as an vector, we needed to change plasmid backbone pAB1AK3 to pSB1T3.

Digestion

Digestion to change the plasmid backbone. Used DNA solution as PCR product(done in 16th) and digestioned pSB1T3 were already exist. Digestion mix double digestion(EcoRI and PstI)

Digestion result

In this digestion results,

  • Cut with EcoRI,PstI and E&P(EcoRI and PstI) showed different base pair bands compared with d-(digestion minus).
  • Cut with E&P showed two DNA bands: about 2000bp and 500~1000 bp.
  • All of digestion products existed lower place than correct band.Correct DNA would show about 5000bp(EcoRI and PstI), 3000bp and 2000bp (E&P).

July 18th


We decided change plasmid backbone of dT pSB1AK3 to pSB1T3. If we cut Ag43-dT on pSB1AK3 with EcoRI and PstI to confirm insert DNA, DNA fragment base pair resemble each other(about 3000bp)then we can't confirm which is which.

Liquid Culture

Liquid culture for single colony isolated(19hrs cultivated) Ag43-dT on pSB1T3.

  1. Prepared 2ml LB.
  2. Added Tet.
  3. Resuspended one colony.
  4. Cultivated 16hrs.


We decided to start another ligation plan. First we digestion Ag43(K346007) and dT(B0015) with EcoRI&SpeI and EcoRI&XbaI then ligate. Ligation product cut with XbaI&SpeI and HindiIII. HindiIII can cut the site which is exist in pSB1AK3 then we can confirm Ag43-dT(about 3000bp) and pSB1K3(3000bp: cutting fragment will be about 1000bp). Next we digest pT7-RBS on pSB1C3 with SpeI only and Ligate X-Ag43-dT-S and S-pSB1C3-pT7-RBS-S. If that is done, we can get pT7-RBS-Ag43-dT on pSB1C3 plasmid DNA which has never been digested with PstI.

July 19th

mini-prep

mini-prep for Ag43-dT on pSB1T3 and Ag43(K346007) which is inserted in pSB1C3. We used FastGene Plasmid Mini Kit(Nippon Genetics) and got 50ul of DNA solutions.

Electrophoresis

Electrophoresis for Ag43-dT on pSB1T3[about 5400bp] and Ag43(K346007)[about 5200bp] mini-prep products.

mini-prep result

In this mini-prep result, Ag43-dT on pSB1T3 showed obviously higher DNA band than we estimated. It means Ag43-dT and pSB1T3 were misligated. And Ag43(K346007), we thought Ag43(K346007) DNA band existed in correct area because this DNA has about 5200bp and plasmid DNA migrates more far than linear DNA. Additionally, one weak 10kbp band existed in Ag43(K346007) lane.


Digestion

We conducted two digestion.

  • Digestion for Ag43(K346007) cut with EcoRI and SpeI. This DNA is for confirmation of PstI restriction enzyme cutting site.
  • Digestion for Ag43(K346007) and dT(B0015) cut with EcoRI & SpeI and EcoRI & XbaI.
But we cut dT PCR product which didn't have plasmid vector so we retry digestion of dT after. Insert Ag43(K346007)(E&S)

Digestion result

In this result, we confirmed Ag43(K346007) was successfully digested into two fragments and low concentration of restriction enzyme cause unperfectly cut of mini-prep product. But there are correct two bands in Ag43 cutting result so restriction enzyme worked. And about dT digestion, XbaI worked in halfway. We thought this is because we didn't added BSA buffer into dT digestion mix.


And we retried digestion of dT which was mini-prep and gel extracted products. Recipe was same as above(E&X).

Middle band will successfully ligaed DNA which have about 6k bp(Ag43 has 3.1k bp and dT on pSB1AK3 has 3.2k bp). And higher band will make something dimer we thought.
