  • kivD, alsS, ilvC and ilvD
  • pSB1C3-alsS-ilvC-ilvD-kivD
    • Amplification of all five parts was repeated with Q5 polymerase from NEB
      • PCR conditions were set as used before
      • pSB1K3-RFP was used as template for pSB1K3 backbone amplification (kanamycin resistance was choosen to have another selection marker)
    • PCR products were purified using Wizard® SV Gel an PCR Clean-Up System (Promega)
    • DpnI digest of template molecules in purified PCR products of the backbone
      • 3µL (30 units) of DpnI (Fermentas) were used for 30 µL plasmid solution (about 3 µg of DNA)
      • Incubation at 37°C for about ten hours
    • Gibson Assembly with all four coding sequences (alsS, ilvC, ilvD, kivD) and pSB1C3
    • Transformation of electrocompetent E. coli KRX cells
    • Colony PCR (fw_ilvC_ilvD, rv_pSB1C3_kivD)
      • Annealing temperature was set to 65°C to achieve strict conditions
      • Agarose gel electrophoresis showed products of expected size (about 3.6kb)
    • Colony PCR (fw_alsS_ilvC, rv_ilvD_ilvC)
      • Annealing temperature was set to 65°C to achieve strict conditions
      • Agarose gel electrophoresis showed products of expected size (about 3.3kb)
    • Positive clones were used to start liquid cultures
    • Plasmid isolation of pSB1K3-alsS-ilvC-ilvD-kivD
    • NotI digestion of isolated plasmids
      • Components (10µL total volume):
        • 0.3µL NotI (Fermentas)
        • 1µL 10 fold Organge buffer (Fermentas)
        • 3µL plasmid solution (< µg of DNA)
        • 5.7µL water
      • Incubation at 37°C for one hour
      • Agarose gel electrophoresis showed expected fragment sizes:
        • 2.2kb - backbone
        • 6.7kb - insert
    • Glycerin stocks for positive clones created
    • Sanger sequencing using VF and VR as sequencing primers
