Tuesday, August 23rd
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
