Visualization

Culture of clones containing the gBlocks

By Lea and Marion

6 clones of each construction were selected (transformed cells with the plasmid containing the gBlocks are supposed to grow white on xGal/IPTG) and grown overnight in 3.5mL of LB (50µg/ml Amp) at 37°C, 180rpm.


BioBrick characterization

BL21 electro-competent cells preparation and transformation

By Charlene

200µL of BL21 pre-culture was added to 15mL of LB and incubated for 4h at 37°C. When OD600nm=0.68, cells were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 4000rpm and washed twice with addition of 10mL glycerol (10%) followed by 10 minutes of centrifugation at 4000rpm. Cells were mixed with 200µL glycerol and kept -80°C.

Plasmids used Description Use
pcl_TAA Promoteur_RBS_LacZ_TAA_Luciferase_Terminator Negative control = base level
pcl_TAG Promoteur_RBS_LacZ_TAG_Luciferase_Terminator Our interest plasmids allowing us to measured the biobrick activity
pcl_Tq Promoteur_RBS_LacZ_CodonSens_Luciferase_Terminator Positive control = luciferase 100% activity

We realized four transformations with the following plasmids:

  • K1372001
  • K1372001+pcl_TAA
  • K1372001+pcl_TAG
  • K1372001+pcl_Tq

50µL of cells were added in the cuvettes with 1µL DNA (diluted 1/10). Everything was done at 4°C.

Transformation did not work for K1372001 and K1372001+pcl_TAA because the cuvettes were broken (electroporation time constant was equal to 1.6ms. Cells died during transformation. Transformation worked for K1372001+pcl_TAG and K1372001+pcl_Tq (time constant was equal to 6ms. We added 1mL of LB to the cells and incubated them for 1h at 37°C.

The following cells were plated on Petri dishes (30µg/mL Cm + 50µg/mL streptomycin):

  • BL21|K1372001+pcl_TAG : 50µL of transformed cells
  • BL21|K1372001+pcl_TAG : 500µL of transformed cells concentrated 5x.
  • BL21|K1372001+pcl_Tq : 50µL cells
  • BL21|K1372001+pcl_Tq : 500µL of transformed cells concentrated 5x.

K1372001 plasmid digestion

By Naiane

K1372001 plasmid was digested with BglI using the following quantities: 3 µL DNA, 2µL buffer (O), 1 µL enzyme (BglI), 14µL water. The mix was incubated for 1h at 37°C and 10 min at 55°C and kept at -20°C until the gel electrophoresis was done. Fragments are expected to size 1.2kb and 2.4kb.

BL21 cell culture

We added 200µL of the BL21 culture made on 28/06 in 15ml of LB and incubated it overnight at 37°C, 180rpm. We need a new BL21 culture to redo the experiment because two of the transformations (K1372001 and pcl_TAA) did not work out (broken electroporation cuvettes).

Bringing DNA closer

Plasmids digestion

By Naiane

Plasmids received from Addgene were digested with AvrII.

Component Volume (µL)
Plasmid 5
Tango buffer 2
Water 12
AvrII enzyme 1

The mix was incubated for 1h at 37°C and 10 min at 55°C and kept at -20°C until the gel electrophoresis was done. Fragments are expected to be as follow:

Plasmid name Plasmid size (kb) Expected digestion product size (kb)
DS-NMcas 6 2.2 and 3.7
DS-SPcasN- 6.8 2.2 and 4.5
DS-ST1casN- 6 2.2 and 3.8
DS-TDcasN- 6.9 2.2 and 4.6

The migration's result was:
