                 The inaZ gene was sourced from BBa_K584027 using primers oM7628 and oM7629* (length 3.6 kbp, anneal at 58°C). The plasmid is obtained from KU Leuven (concentration unknown): run PCR (Q5) with 10x and 1000x template dilutions, transform into E. coli DH5a by heatshock, plate on chloramphenicol. The inaX gene was sourced from <i>X. campestris</i> colonies using primers oM7626 and oM7627 (length 4.7 kbp, anneal at 70°C). Cloning overhangs were not included on these primers. The colony was suspended in 1000uL distilled water, vortexed, freezed 30 min. @ -80 deg. C, heated 20 min. @ 95 deg. C, vortexed, and debris spinned down.

Second attempt (cf. 29/08) to isolate the inaZ gene from <i>P. syringae</i> and the inaX gene from <i>X. campestris</i>. InaX failed, but inaZ was successful. Annealing temperature was 66.20°C and 61.93°C for respectively both primers for the inaZ gene, 60.96°C and 70.34°C for respectively both primers of the inaX gene. Both Primestar HS and Primestar GXL PCR were used for this. On the gel, lane 4 and 8 are inaX attempts. <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#31aug1">Details</a>

We transformed <i>E. coli</i> Top10 cells with our weak expression vector (pXW), which came in today. Q5 CPEC was used for this with the linearized plasmid backbone pSB1C3, and as insert a gBlock consisting of promoter-RBS-cloning site-terminator-terminator. The promoter is weaker than the promoter of the strong expression vector (cf. 29/08). <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#4sept2">Details</a>

<p>The colony PCR of <i>E. coli</i> cells with the constructs with the strong expression vector showed no positive colonies (cf. 06/09).

All our plates with the weak expression vector constructs show colonies! The control reaction has colonies as well, but much fewer, which was to be expected. Fluorescence is seen for the pXW-INP_NC-mGFPuv construct. All Lpp-ompA plates have a mixed phenotype, with 10-20 large colonies (same size as control reaction), and >60 small colonies (see culture picture). Colony PCR was performed using OneTaq at 50°C annealing temperature to proof that the small colonies are the positives ones, the larger ones the negative ones. This theory was confirmed for all colonies (see gel picture). <br><br>

Because the band was smeared last time, we should either use lower template concentrations or a shorter anneal time.

We did a Primestar HS PCR to go from high copy to low copy (LC) backbone, with as backbone pSB3K3 and 4 inserts: INP_NC-Strep, INP_NC-mSA2, Lpp-ompA-Strep and Lpp-ompA-mSA2. For the backbone, we used pSB3K3 as template, with oMEMO7669 & oMEMO 7670 as primers (length: 2790 bp). For the INP_NC-Strep insert, we used pXW-INP_NC-Strep as template, and oMEMO7671 & oMEMO 7672 as primers (length: 1684 bp). pXW-INP_NC-mSA2 is the template used for insert NP_NC-mSA2, and oMEMO7671 & oMEMO 7672 were used as primers. For the Lpp-ompA-Strep, we had pXW-Lpp-ompA-Strep as template, and oMEMO7671 & oMEMO 7672 as primers. For the last insert, Lpp-ompA-mSA2, we used pXW-Lpp-ompA-mSA2 as template, and oMEMO7671 & oMEMO 7672 as primers. The backbone and Lpp-ompA-mSA2 both failed. On the gel, all four inserts are seen. The backbone was run on a different gel not pictured here. <br><br>

We retried the Primestar HS PCR to go from high to low copy backbone, with now oMEMO7675 & oMEMO7644 as primers for the pSB3K3 backbone, but this again failed. The Lpp-ompA-mSA2 insert was also redone with now the Golden Gate mix as template, which was successful. We also made the ‘new parts’ of inaZ, using the inaZ plasmid as a template. For the first piece, we used oMEMO7628 & oMEMO7673 as primers (length: 634 bp), for the second piece, we used oMEMO7658 & oMEMO7674 as primers (length: 2792 bp), and for the last piece, oMEMO7659 & oMEMO7629 were used as primers (length: 297 bp).

We did a colony PCR for the Golden Gate assembly of pXW-inaZ_GGsafe (cf. 19/09). Colony 2, 6, 8, and 32 are preculture. 13 also kind off looks okay, but is too small in length (probably due to some failed fragments).

We again retried the Primestar HS PCR to go from high to low copy backbone. For this, we used the pSC101-Kan vector as backbone to obtain the low copy backbone pSC101 (right gel, lane 1). As primers, we used oMEMO7714 & oMEMO7715 (length: 4034 bp). A new Lpp-ompA-mSA2 insert was also done (left gel, lane 1), with the Golden Gate mix as template, and oMEMO7671 & oMEMO 7672 as primers (length: 1051 bp). A weak expression vector with an empty expression site was also added (left gel, lane 2), with pXW as template, and oMEMO7671 & oMEMO 7672 as primers (length: 224 bp). To obtain inaZ-RC (left gel, lane 3), we used pXW-inaZ_GGsafe as template, and oMEMO7665 & oMEMO7666 as primers (length: 3100 bp). Lane 2 and 3 on the right gel are respectively a control, and backbone pSB1C3 (mSA2-REsafe gBlock assembly).

        Strong expression vector: pSB1C3-PBBaJ23119-RBSBBaB0034-GGsiteBsaI-TTBBaB0010-TTBBaB0012

        Restriction digests:

        1. Resuspend gBlocks in Elution Buffer (=TE) to concentration of 50 ng/uL -> 500 ng delivered => 10uL buffer
        2. Linearised PSB1C3: 25ng/uL at 50uL (used 2013 iGEM tubes)
        3. Prepare mixes (enzymes by NEB):

          linear pSB1C3 30 uL (final concentration 15 ng/uL)

          Incubate overnight in 37°C warm water bath (overdigestion because of enzyme expiration date and restriction sites close to fragment termini, especially for the gBlock).

    • Our first attempts to isolate the inaZ gene from P. syringae and the inaX gene from X. campestris failed. Try inaZ with more stringent conditions and Primestar polymerase, perform more thorough lysis of X. campestris to try inaX again. Details
      • Details:

        The inaZ gene was sourced from BBa_K584027 using primers oM7628 and oM7629* (length 3.6 kbp, anneal at 58°C). The plasmid was obtained from KU Leuven (concentration unknown): PCR (Q5) ran with 10x and 1000x template dilutions, transformed into E. coli DH5a by heatshock, and plated on chloramphenicol.

        The inaX gene was sourced from X. campestris colonies using primers oM7626 and oM7627 (length 4.7 kbp, anneal at 70°C). Cloning overhangs were not included on these primers. The colony was suspended in 1000uL distilled water, vortexed, freezed 30 min. @ -80 deg. C, heated 20 min. @ 95 deg. C, vortexed, and debris spinned down.




  • August 30:
    • We transformed the strong expression vector (cf. 29/08) by electroshock into E. coli Top10, and plated it on chloramphenicol. Details
      • Details:

        Before transformation of the vector, we inactivated the restriction enzymes using heat: 20 min at 80°C, and did ligation without purification. We also purified the samples on a spin column, eluted in 10 uL.

  • August 31:
    • Second attempt (cf. 29/08) to isolate the inaZ gene from P. syringae and the inaX gene from X. campestris. InaX failed, but inaZ was successful. Both Primestar HS and Primestar GXL PCR were used for this. On the gel, lane 4 and 8 are inaX attempts. Details
      • Details:

        For inaZ, we used BBa_K584027 as template (1/10, 1/100, and 1/1000 dilutions). Annealing temperature was 66.20°C for primer oM7628 and 61.93°C for primer oM7629* (length: 3.6 kbp). For inaX, we used X. campestris colonies as template. Annealing was done at 60.96°C for primer oM7626 and at 70.34°C for primer oM7627 (length 4.7 kbp).

        Conditions for Primestar HS: 1'@98C;30x(10"@98C;15"@60C;5'@68C);10'@68C (not the standard protocol).

    • We tried to make inaZ Golden Gate safe by removing the internal BsaI sites. To achieve this, we used Primestar HS PCR and cut it into 3 different fragments. This was successful for the separate fragments, but we didn’t succeed to combine them. For the first fragment, this was simply from the original PCR fragment. The second fragment is a new PCR fragment, using oM7658 and oM7629 as primers and the inaZ plasmid as template (length:3039 bp). This band is smeared, probably due to excessive template concentration or annealing time. The third fragment is also a new PCR fragment, using oM7658 and oM7229 as primers and the inaZ plasmid as template (length: 293 bp).


  • September 09:

    The colony PCR of E. coli cells with the constructs with the strong expression vector showed no positive colonies (cf. 06/09). Not many bands are present, and all present bands show the original vector or self ligation. The colony PCR on our cells transformed with the weak expression vector (cf. 04/09) did show positive ones. We repeated the colony PCR under different conditions, but bands were still not of the correct lengths.
    We therefore tried cloning all our parts into the weak expression vector using Golden Gate. These reaction mixes were then transformed into E. coli Top10 cells. Incubation was done at 30°C instead of 37°C to repress the plasmid copy number. Details

  • September 10:
    • We got our sequencing results: the strong expression vector is good!
    • Colonies with the weak expression vector constructs are still too small to pick up with colony PCR (cf. 09/09).
  • September 11:

    • All our plates with the weak expression vector constructs show colonies! The control reaction has colonies as well, but much fewer, which was to be expected. Fluorescence is seen for the pXW-INP_NC-mGFPuv construct. All Lpp-ompA plates have a mixed phenotype, with 10-20 large colonies (same size as control reaction), and >60 small colonies (see culture picture). Colony PCR was performed using OneTaq at 50°C annealing temperature to proof that the small colonies are the positives ones, the larger ones the negative ones. This theory was confirmed for all colonies (see gel picture). Keep incubating at 30°C to reduce copy number.


    • We performed Primestar HS PCR to create following constructs:
      • pXW-Lpp-ompA-mGFPuv-(m)Strep using Lpp-ompA-mGFPuv fragment. As a template, we used the Golden Gate mix for pXW-Lpp-ompA-mGFPuv, and oM7667_Lpp_Fw and oM7663_GFP_Rv-ATCT as primers (expected length:1167).
      • pXW-mGFPuv-m(Strep) using mGFP. As a template, we used a 100x diluted gBlock, and oM7662_GFP_Fw-GATG and oM7663_GFP_Rv-ATCT as primers (expected length: 752 bp).
      • pXS-mGFPuv using mGFP. As a template, we used a 100x diluted gBlock, and oM7662_GFP_Fw-GATG and oM7664_GFP_Rv-TACT as primers (expected length: 752 bp).
      We also repeated previous PCR (cf. 08/09) of the largest piece of inaZ to make it Golden Gate safe. As a template, we used the inaZ plasmid, and oM7658 and oM7629 as primers (expected length: 3039 bp). Because the band was smeared last time, we should either use lower template concentrations or a shorter anneal time.
  • September 12:

    • Miniprep of a number of colony PCR positive colonies (cf. 09/09).
    • Next picture is the gel of the PCR reactions of the previous day (cf. 11/09). inaZ was run 2 times (at 1/100 and 1/1000 dilution), these are the first 2 bands. The next 3 bands are the 3 constructs. PCR using the Golden Gate mix as a template didn’t work very well (two extra bands, lane 3). We therefore repeated this reaction using a pure plasmid.

    • We did a Primestar HS PCR to go from high copy to low copy (LC) backbone, with as backbone pSB3K3 and 4 inserts: INP_NC-Strep, INP_NC-mSA2, Lpp-ompA-Strep and Lpp-ompA-mSA2. The backbone and Lpp-ompA-mSA2 both failed. On the gel, all four inserts are seen. The backbone was run on a different gel (not pictured here). Details
      • Details:

        Backbone: pSB3K3 with pSB3K3 as template (plate4, F6, iGem distribution 2016), and oM7669 & oM 7670 as primers (length: 2790 bp).
        Insert1: INP_NC-Strep (156 ng/ul) with pXW-INP_NC-Strep as template, and oM7671 & oM 7672 as primers (length: 1684 bp).
        Insert2: INP_NC-mSA2 (290 ng/ul) with pXW-INP_NC-mSA2 as template and oM7671 & oM 7672 as primers.
        Insert3: Lpp-ompA-Strep (130 ng/ul) with pXW-Lpp-ompA-Strep as template, and oM7671 & oM 7672 as primers.
        Insert4: Lpp-ompA-mSA2 with pXW-Lpp-ompA-mSA2 as template, and oM7671 & oM 7672 as primers.




  • September 19:

    • We retried the Primestar HS PCR to go from high to low copy backbone. The backbone failed again, Lpp-ompA-mSA2 was successful. We also made the ‘new parts’ of inaZ, was was also successful. Details
      • Details:

        Retry backbone: used pSB3K3 as template, and oM7675 & oM7644 as new primers (length: 2790 bp).
        Retry insert4 (Lpp-ompA-mSA2): used Golden Gate mix as template (134 ng/ul), and oM7671 & oM7672 as primers.
        New parts inaZ: inaZ plasmid as template, and oM7628 & oM7673 as primers for piece1 (150 ng/ul, 634 bp), oM7658 & oM7674 as primers for piece2 (146 ng/ul, 2792 bp), and oM7659 & oM7629 as primers for piece3 (122 ng/ul, 297 bp).

  • September 21:

    • We did a colony PCR for the Golden Gate assembly of pXW-inaZ_GGsafe (cf. 19/09). Colony 2, 6, 8 are okay.


    • We opted for a new backbone for the low copy vector (cf. 19/09): pSC101-Kan vector.
  • September 22:

    • We digested colony PCR samples 2, 6, 8, 13, and 32 (cf. 21/09), and a control with BsaI. If pXW-inaZ_GGsafe is indeed Golden Gate safe, it should not be cut. This was okay! Colony 2 and 6 are plasmid prepped for sequencing. Colony 13 is lane 5, control is lane 6.


    • We again retried the Primestar HS PCR to go from high to low copy backbone. For this, we have the low copy backbone pSC101 (right gel, lane 1). A new Lpp-ompA-mSA2 insert was also done to obtain an insert for the low copy vector (left gel, lane 1). A weak expression vector with an empty expression site was also added (left gel, lane 2), and also inaZ-RC. Lane 2 and 3 on the right gel are respectively a control, and backbone pSB1C3 (mSA2-REsafe gBlock assembly). Details

    • We also started cultures for the cell binding assay to test the attachment to our filament, and for protein extraction. For the first, we used constructs pXW-INP_NC-Strep + pSC101-RFP, pXW-INP_NC-mSA2 + pSC101-RFP, and pSC101-RFP. For the latter, we used constructs pXW-mGFPuv-mSA2 and pXW-mGFPuv.
  • September 29:

    • Sequenced two new colonies of construct pXW-mGFPuv-Strep (due to a mutation in GFP).
    • Created pSB1C3-mGFPuv2 for submission to the parts registry. For this we amplified the backbone from pSB1C3 linear template using primers oM7722 and oM772 (length: 2093 bp), and mGFPuv2 from construct pXW-mGFPuv or pXS-mGFPuv using primers oM7662 and oM7664 (length: 744 bp). Golden Gate assembly was done using BsaI.
  • September 30:

    We did colony PCR on the CPEC assemblies with increased backbone DNA and altered backbone/insert ratio (cf. 28/09), and previous Golden Gate assemblies (cf. 28/09). We found positive colonies for following constructs:

    • pLC-XW
    • pLC-XW-INP_NC-Strep
    • pLC-XW-INP_NC-mSA2
    • pXW-inaZ-RC+mSA2
    • pXW-mGFPuv-Strep
    • pXS-mGFPuv-Strep
    • pXS-mGFPuv-mSA2
    For constructs pXW-inaZ-RC+Strep and pXW-inaZ-RC+GFP, more colonies need testing.


  • October 03:

    New colony PCR of 2x14 colonies of constructs pXW-inaZ-RC+Strep and pXW-inaZ-RC+GFP.

  • October 04:

    We found a positive colony for construct pXW-inaZ-RC+GFP (cf. 03/10).

    • Combined pXW-INP_GGsafe with pLC-XW-INP_NC-mSA2 by electroporation (plate on kan+chloramphenicol).
  • October 12:

    Sequencing results for constructs 13-24: sequencing okay for all constructs except those containing tetrameric streptavidin fusions. Point mutations were found in the coding sequence, multiple colonies showed mutations at different positions, suggesting a biological origin.
