Gibson of cleaned up PCR products FRB from clone 9 x pSB1C3 - GFP 11 from clone 8

By Maxence

As no colonies were obtained after one night culture, a new Gibson was performed with cleaned up PCR products FRB from clone 9 (insert) x pSB1C3 - GFP 11 from clone 8 (plasmid) (obtained the 6th september) with the following protocol.

Concentration of insert and plasmid were determinated again by Nano drop. For each 20μl of reaction, mix the following reagents :

• 0.65 µL of insert
• 1.1 µL of plasmid
• 8,25 µL of water
• 10 µL of buffer mix

Two controls were done: one without insert and one without buffer (water was added in order to have a total of 20 µL). Two different buffer mix were tested (the usual one and another one from Philippe). The PCR was performed as follow : 1 hour at 50°C.

Transformation of DH5a cells with FRB - GFP 11 in pSB1C3 obtained by Gibson

By Maxence

Dh5a cells were transformed with pSB1C3 containing FRB - GFP 11, or containing controls (no buffer mix and plasmid alone) using the usual protocol. As mentioned before, two buffer mix were used. Furthermore, two different DH5a strains were tested (the usual one and another one from Philippe) were used and at least 12 transformants were cultured overnight : 3 (1 Gibson and 2 controls) x 2 buffer mix x 2 DH5a strains.

Colony PCR of 32 clones containing dCas9 NM - GFP 10 in pSB1C3

Maxence

Transformed cells which had been grown overnight were used for colony PCR. For that purpose, 16 clones containing dCas9 NM - GFP 10 obtained by Q5 amplification and 16 clones containing dCas9 NM - GFP 10 obtained by Phusion amplification were screened and used for the usual protocol of Colony PCR. The same colonies were also plated on Petri dish containing solid LB + 30 µg/mL Cm and liquid cultures (LB + 30 µg/mL Cm) were made from these clones. Both petri dishes and liquid cultures were grown at 37°C.

For each clones contained in 20 μl water, 4.13 μL of the following mix were added :

• 2.5 µL DreamTaq Buffer
• 0.5 µL of dNTPs (10mM)
• 1 µL of each primer mix (10µM)
• 0.13 μl of DreamTaq Pol

PCR was performed as follow:

Primers used were:

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 :

Samples preparation for sequencing

by Maxence

20 µL of plasmides dCas9 ST - GFP 11 (clones 6 and 8) were sent to be sequenced. 20 µL of the primers iPS168 (5µM), iPS169 (5µM) and iPS171 (5µM) were sent for sequencing.
