PCR of gblock 1.1 - 1.2 (fragment 1) and gblock 2.1 - 2.2 (fragment 2) Ligation products

By Maxence & Mahnaz

With the results obtained the 12th and 13th September, a new amplification approach was tested: the Ligation products from the 12th were diluated at 1/10 and two buffer (HF and GC) were tested with others different PCR conditions. Furthermore, ligations products from the 13th September were also amplified.

For each 50μl of reaction, mix the following reagents :

  • 1 µL of matrix
  • 1 µL of dNTPs (10mM)
  • 2.5 µL of each primer mix (10µM)
  • 10 µL of buffer (5X)
  • 0,5 µL of Phusion polymerase
  • 32.5 µL of nuclease free water

Mix gently and aliquot 50 μl of the mix into the PCR tubes on ice. Perform PCR as follow:

Step Temperature Time
Initial denaturation 95°C 30sec
25 cycles 95°C 30sec
50°C 30sec
72°C 30sec
Final Extension 72°C 5min
Hold 4°C $\infty$

Primers used were:

Matrix Products from Ligation of gblock 1.1 and gblock 1.2 (fragment 1) Products from Ligation of gblock 1.1 and gblock 1.2 (fragment 2)
Primers iPS140 and iPS122 iPS 123 and iPS84

By Maxence & Mahnaz

3 µL of each PCR products and 5 µL of DNA ladder were placed in wells and migrated at 100V during 30 min.

PCR products expected were :

PCR products Expected band size (bp)
Fragment 1 1920
Fragment 2 1831
Result of the migration

The results were the same as previous ones.

Another strategy was to make a PCR directly of fragments 1 and 2 obtained previously even if these fragments were not working for Gibson. Fragments 1 and 2 from the 2nd September were amplified with the same protocol as mentioned above.

Result of the migration

PCR of gblock detection, gblock ST sgRNA, gblock NM sgRNA, gblock spacer and plasmid PZA11

By Maxence & Mahnaz

In order to obtain pZA11 containing the desired sequences (pPS16_025), gblocks were amplified in order to run Gibson. For that purpose, PCR was performed with the following protocol.
