Standardization

Standardization - August

PCR mix for site-directed mutagenisis (25 µl)

template1 µl
buffer (5x)5 µl
Primer1 µl each
polymerase0.5 µL
dNTPs1 µl
DMSO0.5 µl
water15 µl

start your PCR mix with just one primer and let reaction run for ten cycles including end elongation. shortly after that add 1 µl dNTP and 1 µl of primer 2. start second PCR under same conditions for 15 cycles. Don't spend too much time with adding dNTPs and primer 2.

DNA amplifications such for ligation PCR approaches contained 50 µl.

protocoll site-directed mutagenisis

98 °C 5 min denaturation
98 °C 30 s denaturation
60 °C 30 s annealing
72 °C 30 s/kb elongation
72 °C 10 min end elongation

To avoid high background activities by not-mutated plasmids, the PCR mixture was digested by DpnI. It cuts methylated DNA only, leading to remove the DNA template.

Therefore transformation is done with unmethylated PCR product, where plasmids contain the desired mutation.

DpnI digest

add 3 µl Cutsmart, 0.5 µl water and 0.5 µl DpnI. Incubate at 37 °C for 90 minutes, followed by an inactivation step at 80 °C for 20 minutes.

All PCRs were digested with DpnI and transformed on Ampicillin containing plates at 37 °C.

Transformation from PCR 1.1/1.2/1.3, 3.1/3.2/3.3, 5.1/5.3 were successful, but entirely PCR 2 & 4 not (repeated with inkubation at 32 °C). Three colonies were picked from each plate and used for over night culures (ONC).

Advice from instructor: an elongation time of 30 s for each DNA fragment smaller than 1 kb will be used.

test digest of overnight culture. Took from agar plate containig PCR 21.

Gel looked fine. SEAP III and SEAP IV will be sequenced. DNA Mini of CAT-1 (2014.08.22.) will be sequenced too, using another sequencing primer.

2014.09.02

Sequencing results of CAT-1 showed that it didn’t contain any PstI site anymore.

Description of Image

test digest of PCR 22 & 23.

PCR 22 + PCR 23 were done in duplicates, PCR 24 in triplicates. Gel electrophoresis was done in 2 % gel.

All PCR but PCR 23 didn’t show expected size. PCR 23’s DNA fragments were cut out and prepared for gel extraction.

Ligation of CAT-1 and P2A in pSB1C3 didn’t work, but plate with bacteria containing WPRE RFC 10 in pSB1C3 shows eight colonies. They were picked for ONC.

Ligation of CAT-1 and P2a were repeated with a modified yesterday’s protocol. 2 µl of T4 ligase (40,000 U/ml) instead 0.2 µl T4 ligase (400,000 U/ml) were used.

Gel result

Description of Image

test digest of PCR 31 & 32.

It looked like ePDZb hadn’t been totally digested. The second lane lay short under 1 kb lane and not at 600 bp. WPRE RFC 10, SEAP RFC 10 and P2A didn’t show expected results. Especially it seemed that SEAP RFC 10 was actually identical with GAL 4 RFC 25 due to the lanes at 500 bp, which were expected for GAL4 RFC 25.

As a result GAL4 RFC I will be sequenced

Eight colonies from containing PCR 40 were picked for ONC.

2014.09.12

Despite to bad results on gel electrophoresis, P2A I and SEAP RFC 10 I will be sequenced.

Transformation of PCR 58 didn’t work but PCR 55 & 56 showed colonies on plates. 5 colonies were picked for ONC.

Ligations were partly successful. There for both SEAP RFC 10 and CAT-1 with RFC 25 overhangs colonies. 5 of them were picked for ONC each.

Gel electrophoresis

Description of Image

test digest of PCR 50, 55-57.

PCR 50, 56 and 57 failed. PCR 55 looked like the plasmid had been cut once. Sequence analysis showed that XbaI site was overlapped with a methylation site, thus restriction site was blocked and couldn’t recognized anymore. Therefore PCR 55 I would be sequenced.

Description of Image

test digest of PCR 62 and ligation of WPRE RFC 25 into pSB1C3.

All results looked fine. It seemed that SEAP contained a NgoMIV site less and the WPRE digests proved that WPRE RFC 25 is in pSB1C3.

Description of Image

test digest of following ligations: ePDZb RFC 10, SEAP RFC 10, CAT-1 RFC 10.

Results looked fine. Every sample showed expected lane size.

Colony one of each plasmid was sent to sequencing.

Standardization - October
