Colony PCR of 12 clones containing GFP 1.9 ligated to PCR blunt

By Sylvie

For that purpose, 12 clones (6 with GFP 1.9 PCR product obtained with pUC19 and 6 with GFP 1.9 PCR product obtained by gblock) were screened and used for the usual protocol of Colony PCR.

For each clones contained in 2 μl liquid culture, 23 μL of the following mix were added :

  • 2.5 µL DreamTaq Buffer
  • 2 µL of dNTPs (10mM)
  • 1 µL of each primer mix (10µM)
  • 0.25 μl of DreamTaq Pol
  • 17.25 μl of water

PCR was performed as follow:

Step Temperature Time
Initial denaturation 95°C 5 min
30 cycles 95°C 30 sec
50°C 30 sec
72°C 30 sec
Final Extension 72°C 10 min
Hold 4°C $\infty$

Primers used were:

Matrix Clones containing GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3 (pPS16_020)
Primers iPS84 and iPS140


After amplification, 3 µL of each PCR products and 5 µL of DNA ladder were placed in wells and migrated at 100V during 30 min.

PCR products expected were :

PCR products Expected band size (bp)
GFP 1.9 862
Result of the migration

Clones 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 & 9 were selected and plasmids were extracted using the "standard Plasmid Miniprep" protocol.

Digestion extracted plasmids containing GFP 1.9 ligated to PCR blunt

Extracted plasmids from clones 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 & 9 were digested by restriction enzyme NotI:

  • 4 µL of plasmid
  • 2 µL of buffer FD
  • 2 µL of restriction enzyme NotI
  • 12 µL of water

The mix were incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. Then, 20 µL of digestion products and 15 µL of DNA ladder were placed in wells and migrated at 100V during 30 min.

Cloning of GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3 by digestion-ligation

By Sylvie

Once template and vector were cut (14th October), DNA ligase was used to join the sticky ends of the template and vector together:

  • 4.7 µL of template (GFP 1.9 PCR product treated by XbaI & PstI)
  • 2 µL of vector (pSB1C3 treated by PstI & XbaI)
  • 1.5 µL of Buffer T4 10X
  • 1 µL of ligase T4 enzyme
  • 5.8 µL of water

The mix was incubated for 30 minutes at rooming temperature.

By Sylvie

Once template and vector were cut (14th October), DNA ligase was used to join the sticky ends of the template and vector together:

  • 3 µL of template (GFP 1.9 PCR product treated by XbaI & PstI)
  • 7 µL of vector (pSB1C3 treated by PstI & SpeI)
  • 1.5 µL of Buffer T4 10X
  • 1 µL of ligase T4 enzyme
  • 2.5 µL of water

Transformation of DH5a cells with GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3(pPS16_020) and FRB - FKBP - GFP 10 - GFP 11 - GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3 (pPS16_023)

By Sylvie

Dh5a cells were transformed with GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3(pPS16_020) and FRB - FKBP - GFP 10 - GFP 11 - GFP 1.9 in pSB1C3 (pPS16_023) or controls (digested plasmid) using the usual protocol.

Co-transformation of DH5a cells with FRB - GFP 11 - FKBP - GFP 10 in pSB1C3 (pPS16_021) + GFP 1.9 in pUC19 (pPS16_009) and FRB - GFP 11 - FKBP - GFP 10 in pSB1C3 (pPS16_021) + GFP 1.9 ligated to PCR blunt

By Sylvie

Dh5a cells were co-transformed with pSB1C3 containing FRB - GFP 11 - FKBP - GFP 10 (pPS16_021) + pUC19 containing GFP 1.9 (pPS16_009) and FRB - GFP 11 - FKBP - GFP 10 (pPS16_021) + GFP 1.9 ligated to PCR blunt (clones 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 & 9) using the usual protocol. For that purpose, petri dishes used contained LB + Amp + Cm and two concentration of plasmids were used: 1 µL of plasmids not diluted and 1 µL of plasmids diluted 10X.
