Only 1 µl was used for the transformation, the rest of the BioBrick stock solution was stored -20 °C. BBa_J23101 was located at plate 4, 17F. BBa_B0034 was located at plate 4, 1N and BBa_C0012 was located at plate 4, 1P. The J BioBrick is a promotor region, B BioBrick is an RBS region and C BioBrick is LacI repressor gene. Plates showed decent growth the next day; transformation was a success.

The failed inoculation attempt on June 12th could indicate something wrong with the LB plates with ampicillin. Growth of non-transformed cells supported this. Most likely the ampicillin was aliquotted to the medium at a temperature causing the antibiotic to denature.

Left_flank and Right_flank sequences were needed to achieve homologous recombination of insert into Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 genome. Kanamycin_resistance optimized for Synechocystis was needed as screening mechanism in order to select for transformed colonies. Successful PCR amplification of Left_flank (556 bp) and Kanamycin_resistance (944 bp) sequence. Right_flank (544 bp) sequence amplification failed.

show technical details

J (35 bp), B (12 bp) and C (1153 bp) BioBricks all showed proper band lengths after verification on agarose gel. Note that it is not possible to physically see B and J on the gel, but the backbone attached to B and J could be seen. The mCherry gene did not show as a band on the gel, possibly due to incompatibilities between the mCherry gene and the primers. The mCherry gene was to be used as a marker gene, giving visual confirmation of successful transformation; however, because of the possible compatibility issues we decided to explore other options. In the end we decided to use RFP as marker.

Week 26

(23/06 - 29/06)

June 23rd
show technical details

Ligation was performed at 42 °C for 20 minutes using Taq ligase with ratio 3 between amount of insert and backbone. The ligation mixture was split into two aliquots (1 µl and 9 µl) and transformed into competent E. coli DH5α at 45 °C and plated out on LB plates with chloramphenicol. The plates showed no growth the next day. Negative control of the chloramphenicol plates did not show growth either, meaning that the plates were not the issue. Other reasons might be: (1) using Taq ligase instead of T4 ligase might alter the ligation efficiency, and hence the transformation efficiency; however, somw growth would still be expected; (2) issues with the enzymatic digestion. According to the 3A assembly method, the downstream part and the backbone is supposed to be cut with PstI, not PstI-HF. PstI-HF is heat resistant and cannot be heat killed. The remaining enzymatic activity of PstI-HF could therefore have disrupted the Taq ligase activity. However, freezing should have inactivated PstI-HF activity, meaning it is not likely to cause problems; and (3) low concentrations of B and J. NanoDrop measured B at 5.3 ng/µl concentration and J at 10.1 ng/µl concentration.

Ligation and heat-shock transformation of digestion mixtures from June 20th.

June 24th
show technical details

Variations from June 23rd included: (1) the ligation was performed at 45 °C for 20 minutes and (2) the entire ligation mixture (10 µl) was transformed into one aliquot of competent E. coli DH5α cells; however, ligation still failed.
The gel verification of digest showed an unexpected band of the J BioBrick, and based on failed ligation attempts, it was decided to inoculate new BioBrick colonies.

Enzymatic digestion performed with similar procedure as June 20th: upstream part (J) cut with EcoRI-HF and SpeI, downstream part (B) cut with XbaI and PstI-HF and psB1C3 backbone cut with EcoRI-HF and PstI-HF. Digestion mixtures were left at 37 °C for one hour, then heat-killed at 80 °C for 30 minutes, before being stored at -20 °C.

June 26th
show technical details

The problem with gel verification of B and J is the length of B and J which is 12 bp and 35 bp respectively. They are too short to appear on the gel, and it is therefore impossible to whether or not the samples contain the correct sequence of DNA. However, because these are BioBricks, it is assumed the transformed E. coli DH5α cells contain correct plasmids.
The ligation procedure was performed as June 23rd with a few exceptions: (1) increased the volume of ligation mixture, and hence the amount of ligase. This was because it was assumed that the residual activity of PstI-HF could be counteracted by increasing Taq ligase concentration; and (2) created a short time series for ligation, one sample at 42 °C for 20 minutes and another one for one hour. Both ligation times resulted in growth on LB plates with chloramphenicol.

Week 27

(30/06 - 06/07)

June 30th
show technical details

. The gel verification of the ligation on June 26th showed only one band corresponding to the length of a backbone (~2000 bp). Normally, the gel would run for 50 minutes at 80 V, but because of the length of JB (47 bp), it was set to run only 30 minutes. However, despite the shorter run-time, no band corresponding to JB was seen. GelGreen binds DNA and visualises it. We assume that shorter DNA segments binds less GelGreen, which would make the absence of a JB band on the gel understandable. We therefore assumed that the JB ligation was a success despite the failed verification. JB ligation to LF and psB1A3 backbone showed growth the next day.

Digestion, ligation and heat-shock transformation of the ligated JB with Left_flank and psB1A3 backbone.

July 1st
show technical details

A different enzyme was used for the gel verification process because gel verification thus far had been prone to errors. We speculated that the difference in enzyme activity of EcoRI-HF, PstI-HF, SpeI and XbaI could have caused uneven cutting of the plasmids, which could have produced erroneous bands.
The agarose gel of NotI-HF digested {RF, Kan, psB1A3} and {J,B, psB1A3} showed bands at around 1000 bp for all samples, which is wrong in both cases.

Inoculated new colonies from plates containing colonies from the original BBa_J23101 and BBa_B0034 BioBricks.

July 3rd
show technical details

The gel showed correct band lengths for all samples. J, LF and Kan were digested using EcoRI-HF and SpeI. B and RF were digested using XbaI and PstI, while the backbones were digested using EcoRI-HF and PstI. Since it was not possible to heat-kill the high fidelity PstI enzyme, it was decided to attempt digestion with the non-high fidelity one. This should remove residual enzymatic activity of all restriction enzymes after heat-kill.

July 4th
show technical details

Ratio between J/B and backbone in the ligation mixture was 2.5, and T4 ligase was used. Previously Taq ligase had been used, but because of poor transformation efficiency we decided to try T4 ligase. Growth was seen the next day. NanoDrop of Kan and RF products showed 84.3 and 95.7 ng/mL respectively.

July 11th
show technical details

NanoDrop of Construct and LFJB showed an average concentration of 103 and 70 ng/mL respectively. The gel only showed bands corresponding to the length of a backbone (~2000 bp), meaning that all the samples were incorrect.

Mini-prep of Construct and Left_flank+JB samples.
Gel electrophoresis verification of all samples of Construct and LFJB on agarose gel using XbaI and PstI restriction enzymes.

July 12th
show technical details

NanoDrop of BBa_E1010 and KRF showed an average concentration of 96.6 and 118.9 ng/mL respectively. Since PstI was being used instead of PstI-HF due to heat resistance issues with the high fidelity enzyme, the buffer used during digest had to be changed. Instead of using CutSmart buffer, Neb buffer was used for PstI and SpeI. PstI should still work in CutSmart buffer even though it would not have maximum activity; however, due to problems with digests and ligations it was decided to try and change the buffer. The gel showed no bands, and we could only conclude that the samples does not contain the correct DNA sequence.

show technical details

NanoDrop after PCR amplification of LF, RF and Kan showed concentration of 54.4, 113 and 69.6 ng/mL respectively. NanoDrop measurements after the digest showed concentrations reaching zero for all samples. It was later realised that wrong combination of enzymes had been used, which neatly explains the puzzling results. The amounts of enzyme and DNA was determined according to enzymatic activity in relation to weight of DNA present.
BBa_K576005 was found in plate 1, well 10A. BBa_K576005 equals J and B BioBrick ligated together. We decided to use this BioBrick instead of J and B separately because of all the trouble we were having.

The plates showed no growth the next day. Negative control of the chloramphenicol plates did not show growth either, meaning that the plates were not the issue. Other reasons might be: (1) using <i>Taq</i> ligase instead of <i>T4</i> ligase might alter the ligation efficiency, and hence the transformation efficiency; however, somw growth would still be expected; (2) issues with the enzymatic digestion. According to the <a href="https://2014.igem.org/Team:NTNU_Trondheim/Protocols#11">3A assembly</a> method, the downstream part and the backbone is supposed to be cut with PstI, not PstI-HF. PstI-HF is heat resistant and cannot be heat killed. The remaining enzymatic activity of PstI-HF could therefore have disrupted the <i>Taq</i> ligase activity. However, freezing should have inactivated PstI-HF activity, meaning it is not likely to cause problems; and (3) low concentrations of B and J.

Normally, the gel would run for 50 minutes at 80 V, but because of the length of JB (47 bp), it was set to run only 30 minutes. However, despite the shorter run-time, no band corresponding to JB was seen. GelGreen binds DNA and visualises it. We assume that shorter DNA segments binds less GelGreen, which would make the absence of a JB band on the gel understandable. We therefore assumed that the JB ligation was a success despite the failed verification. JB ligation to LF and psB1A3 backbone showed growth the next day.</div>
