The assays were performed in a total volume of 500µL, containing 500mM sodium acetate buffer (ph = 6.0), 10mM L-lysine, 0.1 mM pyridoxal-5-phosphate, and 20µL whole cells, at 37°C in a water bath. The reaction was stopped after 24h by the addition of 10µL ethanol. The reaction mixtures were centrifuged and the 30µL of supernatant was applied to derivatization to determine the amounts of residual lysine and product, i.e cadaverine.
Diamine deritatives were obtained by the reaction of 180µL of borate buffer 0.05M (pH9), 60µL of 100% methanol, 47µL diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate without any pretreatment. The samples were heated at 70)C for 2h to allow complete degradation of excess DEEMM and derivatization.
After derivatization with diethyl ethoxymethylmalonate, analyses were performed on a high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC Agilent technologies, 1260 Infinity) consisting of a binary pump, an inline degasser, an autosampler and a column thermostat. Chromatographic separation was carried out by reverse-phasechromatography on a C18 column maintained at 35°C. Mobile phase A was composed of 100% acetonitrile, and B was made up of 25mM aqueous sodium acetate buffer (pH = 4.8). The flow rate of 1mL/min was used, with the following gradient program : 0-2min, (20-25% A; 2-32min, 25-60%A; 32-40min, 60-20%A. Detection was carried out at 284nm.
1. Digest vector with restriction enzyme during 3h and purify the linearized vector with a commercial PCR purification kit. Elute DNA with elution buffer or 10mM TrisCl, pH 8.0-8.5. Do nnot elute the DNA with water or TE. Measure the concentration of the vector.
2. Amplify your gene of interest by PCR using primers with 15 mer (or inferior) homology extension to the linearized vector end. We usually use 15bp homology for single fragment cloning, and 20bp for multiple fragment cloning. Purify the linearized vector with a commercial PCR purification kit. Elute the DNA with water or TE. Measure the concentration of the insert(s).
3. Mix the linearized vector and insert at a molar ratio of 1.2 ina 1.5mL tube. An examble is shown as follows. (Vector to insert molar ratio of 1/1 for single fragment cloning, 1:2:2 for multiple fragments cloning. AN example of 3 fragments cloning is shown below with vector: insert 1: insert 2 molar ratio as shown is 1:2:2 as shown in Fig. 4A).
| Stock concentration | Volume added | Final concentration | |
| Linearized vector | 100ng/µL | 1µL | 10ng/µL |
| Insert 1 | 40ng/µL | 1µL | 4ng/µL |
| Insert 2 | 40ng/µL | 1µL | 4ng/µL |
| 10X BSA | 1µL | 1X | |
| 10X NEB Buffer 2 | 1µL | 1X | |
| H2O | Up to 10µL |
4. Add 0.2µL of T4 DNA polymerase (3U/µL, NEB) to the mixture and incubate 2min at room temperature
Soft geloses have been made by adding 0.3% agar in LB medium. Once dried, each bacteria strain has been spotted using a tooth pic on the petri dishes and incubated for 3h in a 37°C room.
