Week Notes
Protocol

July Week1: Plasmid Amplification


We chose pRSFDuet-1, pACYCDuet-1 and pCDFDuet-1 as expression vectors and pBluescript II KS(+) as the connector. These plasmids were amplified for further construction.

July Week2: Gene Construction


We intended to construct the gene of our fusion protein, ssDsbA-mRFP-HL-Lgt-FL-TAL-His tag, using overlap PCR, enzyme digestion and ligation. After careful consideration, we decided to connect ssDsbA-mRFP-HL-Lgt as one part of this fusion protein and FL-TAL-His tag for another, so that they could be connected together.

July Week3: Part Construction


We constructed the first part, ssDsbA-mRFP-HL-lgt with overlap PCR and ligated it into the pBluescript II KS(+). Then we obtained more plasmids through transformation, colony picking and plasmid extraction. After that, we verified them with digestion identification and sequencing. Sequencing results showed accurate construction.

July Week4


Use golden gate to connected TAL of 2012 Freiburg igem. Transform, colony picking plasmid extraction and digestion identification.

August Week1-2


Test the conditions for the PCR. Connected TAL, transform, colony picking plasmid extraction and digestion identification. Find with our electrophoresis band. Expression vectors and connector plasmid are confirmed by sequencing.

August Week3


There are some problems about Freiburg’s parts. We can’t connected TAL in the right order. So we design some new primes for PCR that can produce the right sequence.

August Week4


Design a few new ports for the fusion protein. Sequencing results showed accurate construction. Observe the FP using LSCM to confirm the fusion protein can locate on the membrane.

September Week1


Try co-transformation: Prsf pacyc pBluescript . Find the conditions of protein expression. Find the way to construct the TAL.

September Week2


Find the enzymes for the application. Find the way to detect the substrate in these pathways. Connector plasmid modification.

September Week3


TAL gene synthesis. Construct the part with our new ports.

September Week4


TAL gene synthesis.
