Transformation of E.coli (Trans-T1 Phage Resistant Chemically Competent Cell) with pRset_CFP-1(with AmpR) and plating on solid LB culture medium with Amp.
Cultivation the E.coli cells transformed yesterday in several 5mL liquid LB culture mediums with Amp at 37℃ for 12 hours.
Plasmid isolation of pRset_CFP-1.
Primers were designed for the target (CFP gene) within the plasmid pRset_CFP-1.
PCR with Q5-Polymerase to amplify CFP gene out of plasmid pRset_CFP-1 and add Restriction Enzyme cutting sites(XbaⅠ&SacⅠ) to it’s ends(5’&3’) separately.
Bands as expected(about 760bp) in agarose gel , gel purification of the PCR products.
XbaⅠ&SacⅠdouble restriction endonuclease digestion in CFP gene.
XbaⅠ&EcoRⅠdouble restriction endonuclease digestion in pRset_CFP-1
Bands as expected(760bp&3000bp) in agarose gel , gel purification of the digested products(3000bp).
Ligaion of digested pRset_CFP-1, digested CFP gene and digested PETase(M154L) gene in accordance with the 1:5:5 molecular ratio. The newly constructed plasmid is called pRset_CFP-1-M154L.
Transformation of E.coli (Trans-T1 Phage Resistant Chemically Competent Cell) with pRset_CFP-1-M154L(with AmpR) and plating on solid LB culture medium with Amp.
Verification : Colony PCR with fast taq Polymerase, primers: PETase-S/PETase -A, template: Colony of E.coli with plasmid pRset_CFP-1-M154L. Bands as expected(about 760bp) in agarose gel.
We add a single 3`-adenine overhang to each end of the fragment of 19 and then purified with DNA Purification Kit.
19 was ligated into T vectors via TA clone and transformed into E.coli via heat shock.
A colony PCR was performed with five colonies.
Gel electrophoresis showed that 5 colonies were positive for insertion of 19.
Two of these colonies containing 19 were used to inoculate overnight cultures.
15 gene fragment was phosphorylated.
Plasmids containing T vector with 19(pT-19)were isolated using a miniprep kit.
Mono-restriction digest of pT-19 with stu I.
The enzyme-digested product was dephosphorylation.
Dephosphorylated plasmid and phosphorylated gene 15 were connected.
Ligation product was transformed into E.coli via heat shock.
A colony PCR was performed with twelve colonies.
Gel electrophoresis showed that 2 colonies were positive for connecting the plasmid and gene fragment.
These two colonies were used to inoculate overnight cultures.
Plasmids with correct sequence of 19-15 were isolated using a miniprep kit.
Mono-restriction digest of pT-19-15 with Nru I.
The enzyme-digested product was dephosphorylation.
Plasmids pT-13-19-15 were handed in for sequencing, which confirmed its correctness.
The sequencing results for both of them were error.
Colonies containing Ni inducible promoter were used to inoculate overnight cultures.
PCR was performed to check if the gene fragments were ligated correctly.
13_ fwd and 15_rev on pT-13-19-15
Gel electrophoresis showed that it failed.
Plasmids pCPC-3031-Ni were isolated using a miniprep kit.
Several PCRs were performed to check if the gene fragments were ligated correctly.

Repetition: Phosphorylated 13 was ligated into pT-19-15 and transformed into E.coli via heat shock.
Repetition: Several PCRs were performed to check if the gene fragments were ligated correctly.
