NOTEBOOK

Labjournal 2016

For half a year we were working in the wet lab    , developed a pipetting robot   and simulated the molecular dynamics of our proteins    . As well we would like to highlight certain social events   which helped us to further improve our team spirit.

Lab Week 1:
April 18 - April 24

Meeting with the people interested in the technical part of the project, discussing the task and the possible ideas.

Reporter System
BBa_K1976002:
The mVenus-LVA-gene was synthesized by idt and amplified through PCR using the SP-amplify-fw-Rep1 (fw) and SP-amplify-rev-Rep2 (REV) oligonucleotides.

Lab Week 18:
August 15 - August 21

Reporter System
BBa_K1976002:
The PCR product was verified by agarose gel electrophoresis and subsequently purified. The mVenus amplicon was cut with EcoRI and PstI and ligated into a pSB1C3 vector using T4-ligase.

Reporter System
BBa_K1976002:
The ligation product was transformed into E.coli Top 10 by heat shock transformation and the cells were spread out on a CMP agar plate.

Lab Week 20:
August 29 - September 4

Reporter System
BBa_K1976002:
Clones were screened with colony PCR using VF2 and VR oligonucleotides. Plasmid DNA was isolated from positive clones.
Metabolic burden
BBa_K1976001:
The BioBrick BBa_I11020 was synthezised with a LVA‑tag and with B0034 as a ribosome binding site by IDT.

Lab Week 21:
September 5 - September 11

Reporter System
BBa_K1976002:
Isolated Plasmid DNA Sequence was verified by Sanger Sequencing.
Metabolic burden
BBa_K1976001:
The LVA‑tag was deleted by PCR with the primer Del_LVA_fw and Del_LVA_rev.

Lab Week 22:
September 12 - September 18

Reporter System
BBa_K1976003:
The mVenus-LVA-pSB1C3 plasmid was cut with EcoRI and PstI and ligated into a T7-RBS-pSB1A3 plasmid which was cut with SpeI and PstI.
Metabolic burden
BBa_K1976000:
The BioBrick BBa_E0240 was cut with the restriction enzymes XbaI and PstI.
BBa_J61002 was cut with SpeI and PstI.
The two restriction products were ligated by standard T4‑Ligation protocol.
BBa_K1976001:
B0034‑BBa_I11020 was cut with XbaI and PstI.
BBa_J23101 was cut with SpeI and PstI.
Both fragments were ligated using the T4‑Ligase by standard protocol.

Lab Week 23:
September 19 - September 25

Reporter System
BBa_K1976003:
The ligation product was transformed into E.coli Top 10 by heat shock transformation and the cells were spread out on a AMP agar plate.
Metabolic burden
BBa_K1976000:
After plasmid preparation, the plasmid was cut with XbaI and PstI.
We had the attp‑site BBa_11023 flanked by the two additional bidirectional transcription terminators BBa_1001 synthesized by IDT. The attp‑site of BBa_11023 was not the original λ‑attp‑site. Instead the sequence corresponded to the attP2‑site used in the Gateway ® cloning system.
The construct was cut with EcoRI and SpeI. The pSB1C3 backbone was cut with EcoRI and PstI. Together with the previously cut BBa_J61002‑BBa_E0240 construct the synthesized BBa_1001‑BBa_11023‑BBa_1001 construct was ligated in the cut pSB1C3.
BBa_K1976001:
The ligation product was transformed into E. coli Top 10 via heatshock.

Lab Week 24:
September 26 - October 2

Reporter System
BBa_K1976003:
Clones were screened with colony PCR using VF2 and VR oligonucleotides. Plasmid DNA was isolated from positive clones .
Metabolic burden
BBa_K1976000:
The attP2‑site was mutated to λ‑attp via Quick‑Change‑PCR, using the following primers: QC_attp_fw and QC_attp_rev (for more details see our primerlist).
BBa_K1976001:
To check whether BBa_I11020 was expressed properly a SDS‑Page was made.

Metabolic burden
BBa_K1976000:
For plasmid curing the final plasmid construct and the low copy backbone pSB4A5 were cut with EcoRI and PstI and then ligated.
BBa_K1976001:
For plasmid curing the final plasmid construct and the low copy vector pSB4K5 were cut with EcoRI and PstI and then ligated.
BBa_K1976000 and BBa_K1976001 were cotransformed into E. coli Top 10.
To check whether the genomic integration was successful a cPCR with attb_fw and VR primers was made.
