'''Aim of the experiment:''' Initial vector digestion was performed with NgoMiV and AgeI, producing complementary overhangs. Religated pSB1C3 (due to incomplete vector dephosphorylation) loses the AgeI recognition sequence. Therefore plasmids without insert should run in the supercoiled position at about 1.5 kb, plasmids with inserts  should run in the linearised position at 3 kb. Single enzyme digestion was chosen, because the insert is too small to be solved on a gel.
 +
 +
'''Procedure:''' 
 +
* analytic digestion: 3 µl of plasmid DNA P32 to P35 (about 300 ng) were digested with 0.3 µl AgeI-HF in 1 µl CutSmart Buffer and 5.7 µl H2O. The reaction was incubated for 2 h at 37°C.
 +
* 5 µl digestion mix were loaded on a 1% agarose gel for electrophoresis, 1 kb ladder
 +
 +
'''Result:'''
 +
*P32 to P35 might carry the insert because they all appear in the linearized position at 3 kb
 +
*Therefore plasmid sequencing should confirm the result.

*The fermentation was not successful, streptavidin band (unter 15 kDa marker) is just a bit thicker. The reason might be the ampR of the transformed plasmid. Due to the high cell concentration beta lactamase (secreted in periplasma) gets in the medium and hydrolyses amp. As a result cells lose plasmid because there is no selective pressure without an antibiotic in medium.

* Additionally P74 (pSB1C3+RFP-Reporter) was digested with XbaI and AgeI (-> F227) to provide a plasmid for the ligation with F224.
 +
 +
* The digestions where plotted on a gel, and bands at 1700Bp for scAvidin, 222Bp for TetO-OmpA, 490Bp for eMA and 2100Bp for pSB1C3 where cut out and purified with the Promega Wizard SV Gel Kit according to the manufactuerers protocol.

Transformation of E. coli XL1 blue with Phytochrome B (2–908 N-terminal amino acids) (BBa_K801031, RFC25, pSB1C3)

Investigator: Jeff, Rosario

Aim of the experiment: Transformation of Phytochrome B for protein fusion

Procedure:

  • CaCl2-competent E. coli XL1-Blue cells were taken from the stock in –80 °C freezer and gently thawed on ice
  • 2 µl of DNA was added to 100 µl of competent cells and gently mixed
  • 30 min incubation on ice
  • 5 min heat shock at 37 °C
  • Added 1 ml LB medium to each tube

Cloning of A3C5 and Avi-Tag into pSB1C3

Investigator: NA, JH, CG

Aim of the experiment: Initial vector digestion was performed with NgoMiV and AgeI, producing complementary overhangs. Religated pSB1C3 (due to incomplete vector dephosphorylation) loses the AgeI recognition sequence. Therefore plasmids without insert should run in the supercoiled position at about 1.5 kb, plasmids with inserts should run in the linearised position at 3 kb. Single enzyme digestion was chosen, because the insert is too small to be solved on a gel.

Procedure:

  • analytic digestion: 3 µl of plasmid DNA P32 to P35 (about 300 ng) were digested with 0.3 µl AgeI-HF in 1 µl CutSmart Buffer and 5.7 µl H2O. The reaction was incubated for 2 h at 37°C.
  • 5 µl digestion mix were loaded on a 1% agarose gel for electrophoresis, 1 kb ladder

Result:

  • P32 to P35 might carry the insert because they all appear in the linearized position at 3 kb
  • Therefore plasmid sequencing should confirm the result.

Polymerisation experiments for biotinylated eGFP and BSA with Streptavidin

Investigator: JH, CR, JB

Aim of the experiment: Determination of ideal concentrations for both protein interaction partners as well as buffer viscosity (glycerol content etc.) for polymerisation in a test tube

Procedure:

  • Different concentrations of proteins and glycerol were tested to support stable polymerisation without protein aggregates rising to the surface or sinking to quickly
  • The experiments done are not going to be further documented as the streptavidin used for the experiments was previously determined in a wrong fashion and was actually considerably lower than expected (4x lower). Streptavidin was, due to that circumstance, concentrated to be able to support experiments with at least 5 mg/ml concentrations
  • First experiments with concentrated streptavidin seemed promising, though a complete series of experiments with varying parameters should be conducted in the future

Testpolymerization: BSA-coating

Investigator: EU, JH

Aim of experiment:

Coating of 6-well plate with BSA according to a modified ELISA-protocol.

Procedure:

Bicarbonate/carbonate coating buffer (100mM): 30,3 mg Na2CO3 60 mg NaHCO3 10 ml distilled water

"Blocking" Buffer: 1% BSA in PBS

Each well was covered with 0,5 ml BSA buffer and 0,5 ml bicarbonate buffer. After overnight incubation at RT, solution in wells was aspirated one by one and streptavidin was added. After a short incubation, the streptavidin(&Tris/HCl) solution was aspirated and Biotin solution was added (by needle).

1. well: 200 µl Streptavidin (11,2 mg/ml) + 200 µl Biotin, 2. well: 400 µl Streptavidin and 400 µl Tris/HCl + 200 µl Biotin, 3. well: 500 µl Streptavidin and 500 µl Tris/HCl + 300 µl Biotin, 4. well: 500 µl Streptavidin + 10 µl Biotin (this time with 2,5 µl pipette)


Results:

Overall polymerization was observed again, although it seemed more like an aggregation than a polymerization. No coating was observed except in the 4. well. Biotin-injection speed may be the critical point.

Poly-D-Lysine coating will follow as next step.

Muc16FermentationVORNACH2.1.jpg

  • The fermentation was not successful, streptavidin band (unter 15 kDa marker) is just a bit thicker. The reason might be the ampR of the transformed plasmid. Due to the high cell concentration beta lactamase (secreted in periplasma) gets in the medium and hydrolyses amp. As a result cells lose plasmid because there is no selective pressure without an antibiotic in medium.
  • next step: cloning pf streptavidin mutants into pASK111 (camR)
