Week1(8/1/2016-8/7/2016)

Constraction of expression plasmid in CFPS(cell-free protein synthesis)
The mutations of PETase gene had been contracted by over-lap PCR and Restriction Enzyme cutting sites(SacⅠ&EcoRⅠ) had been added to it’s ends (5’&3’) separately.

  • 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.

    Week2(8/15/2016-8/21/2016)

  • 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.

  • 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-M154L.

    • Week3(8/29/2016-9/4/2016)

  • Our strategy is to exchange the site-directed mutation PETase-M154L for the other 21 mutations and 1 wild type, separately.
    XbaⅠ&EcoRⅠdouble restriction endonuclease digestion in pRset_CFP-1-M154L
    No expected bands(3600bp&750bp) in agarose gel. We don’t find the reason why the plasmid constuced can’t be cut into the two expected bands, so we decided to change the initial strategy.

  • Ligaion of digested pRset_CFP-1, digested CFP gene and the rest 22 digested gene interested (including 21 PETase site-directed mutations geneand 1 wild type ) separately in accordance with the 1:5:5 molecular ratio. The newly constructed plasmid is called pRset_CFP-1-R90I (R90T, R90A, S92A, Q119A, M154A, W159H, W159M, N205L, N205V, S207T, S207A, I208V, S238F, S238V,A240P, S242I.)

    Week4(9/5/2016-9/11/2016)

  • We choosed 4 tubes of plasmid to express in the cell-free system firstly.
    The protocol of the cell-free protein synthesis system(50 µL) we used :
    MQ H2O" "7.9µL
    Feeding buffer" "25µL
    Mg2+ solution" "1.1µL
    Gene( plasmid as template)" "1µL
    Lysate" "15µL
    (PS: the details of the system are not available)
    • Systems were expressed in 96-well plates and put the 96-well plates into the ELIASA (microplate reader) at 30℃ for 12 hours.
