Run electrophoresis gel of Miniprep products. We have made a small gel so we have mix 0.45 g of Agarose with 45 mL of TAE 1X. Voltage used is 100V. Both samples are correct.

Pick a single E. coli DH5α (promoter35s: 5’ region: TFL/Ga20oxcons: Tnos - promoter35s: Renilla: Tnos - 35s: Cas9: Tnos - U6: TFL/Ga20oxgRNA: psgRNA) colony from the plate that has been incubated overnight. Inoculate a starter culture of 4 ml of LB medium with 4 μL of chloramphenicol in a 50 ml tube with the colony and incubate it overnight at 37°C with shaking.

We throw out from Golden Braid collection the glycerinate number 1107 (Cas9 - XT1gRNA) and 0549 (35s: TEV: Tnos)

Ligation reaction of 35s: 5’ region: TFL/ Ga20: Tnos - 35s: Renilla: Tnos + 35s: Cas9: Tnos - U6: TFL/Ga20oxgRNA: psgRNA

Primers have arrived: IG16AG01, IG16AG02 and IG16AG03.

Perform a PCR to bind the new linkers with luciferase. We are going to try with AEAAAKA linker, with RSIATlinker and RSIAT+NiaTEV(protease) linker.

Run electrophoresis gel of Miniprep products. The PCR product with IG16JUL02 primer has amplified correctly. However, the other ones cannot be observed. We will try at 65ºC and 67ºC (temperature of amplification) using the same times in the program explain before.

The linker RSIAT has amplified at 65ºC

Miniprep with E.Z.N.A ®. Plasmid Mini Kit I, Q(capless) Spin of:

• gTS (TFL / Ga20) – Renilla – Cas9 – TFL / Ga20 gRNA (3α1)

Digestion of minipreps with EcoRI. Incubate 1 hour at 37ºC

Run electrophoresis gel of Miniprep products. Both of them have not gone correctly so we have decided to repeat them.

Pick a single E. coli DH5α (gTS – Renilla - Cas9 - XT1:XT2 gRNA in DH5α) colony from the plate that has been incubated overnight. Inoculate a starter culture of 4 ml of LB medium with 4 μL of kanamycin in a 10 ml tube with the colony and incubate it 16 hours at 37ºC with shaking.

Pick a single Agrobacterium C58 (promoter35s: NiaTEV protease: Tnos and promoter35s: Renilla: Luc) colony from the plate that has been incubated overnight. Inoculate a starter culture of 5 ml of LB medium with 5 μL of kanamycin and rifampin in a 50 ml tube with the colony and incubate it overnight at 28ºC with shaking.

DH5α E. coli transformations with PCR products

• linker (AEK / RSIAT / RSIAT+TEV) : Luciferase in pUPD2

Perform a PCR of the linker RSIAT+TEV in order to get the optimal temperature. We are going to try at 68, 69 and 70ºC.

Miniprep with E.Z.N.A ®. Plasmid Mini Kit I, Q(capless) Spin of:

• gTS (TFL /Ga20) – Renilla – Cas9 – XT1:XT2 gRNA

Digestion of minipreps with EcoRI. Incubate 1 hour at 37ºC

Run electrophoresis gel of Miniprep products. We cannot interpret the results. We have decided to repeat the digestion again.

Digestion of minipreps with EcoRI. Incubate 1 hour at 37ºC.

Run electrophoresis gel of these new Miniprep products.

Run electrophoresis gel of the PCR which was made on 13-08-2016. The fragment do not amplified with any selected temperature.
