Tasks:

Jordan

  • Did more research into periplasm fractioning
    • In order to see if the protocol works, need JC8031 with ClyA culture, a JC8031 DeLisa cell line control (same cells, no GFP) and a cytoplasmic GFP control (if there is GFP in the fraction, full cell lysis happened and that’s bad)
    • Plan:
      • Grow up overnight culture of GFP device from interlab kit
      • Grow all three cultures in 25 mL LB cultures with Cam until OD=0.5 per DeLisa paper
      • Induce JC8301 cells with .2% arabinose (weight/final volume)
      • Grow for 6 hours at 37
      • Use cold osmotic shock protocol from Biefeld iGEM team on the drive, BUT use ice cold water instead of cell fraction buffer 2 because Kelly says Triton and SDS can interfere with protein function
      • Measure fractions on plate reader, use wavelength from interlab study
    • Need: to make cell fraction buffer (need Tris) autoclave media?, grow up cytoplasm GFP, did Paul make some arabinose?
  • Made some 3M sodium acetate solution to try ethanol precipitation—Kelly says it’s worth a try—see Paul for final pH
  • Ethanol precipitation protocol

Paul

  • Looked into Cas9 expression cell lines with Kelly
  • Cas9 should be constitutively expressed in any line without TetR repressor (so our cell line)
  • Gibson assemble gRNA into mRFP reporter plasmid pSB1T3
    • Used Bradley’s Clone Kit Excel calculator
    • Pos. Gibson Control
    • Neg Gibson Control (no insert)
    • 10 uL rxns:
      • 4.15 uL nfH20
      • 0.41 uL 63 ng/uL mRFP backbone
      • 0.45 uL 10 ng/uL gRNA gBlock insert
      • 5 uL Gibson Mastermix
  • Note for 8/24: L-arabinose 0.2% final w/v for induction of ClyA GFP
