      Lane 1 &amp; 2 contain the expected Fragments (~ 600  bp). In Lane 3 there is a very thin fragment with the expected size (~ 1100 bp)  but smaller fragments can also be seen. Lane 5 does not contain any fragment at  all and in lane 6 there is the fragment of the expected size (~ 600 bp).      Both samples with fragment 1 were pooled, sample 3.1  was discarded and the whole PCR-product 2.1 has been separated in an agarosegel  and the fragment with 1100 bp has been cut out and purified with the Gel  Extraction Kit (c = 4,4 ng/&micro;L). A second PCR for fragment 2 has been done in parallel.  All parameters remained the same but the annealing-temperature has been changed  to 62 &deg;C.</p>

    <p>The plasmids prepared on Saturday seem to be smaller as expected. For this reason a new attempt to eliminate the restriction sites was carried out. The amplification of fragment 2 (with primers iGEM 003 and iGEM 010 on 15.04.2014) did not happen without any problems such as unspecific smaller bands in addition to the expected one (ca 1000 bp). So this time primer iGEM 003 was replaced by iGEM 002 which would result in a smaller fragment of approximately 600 bp. Later on the fragments 1 and 3 together with the new created one, the digested pMa12 construct and the amyE-fragment (to overlap the region between fragments) would be transformed into <em>S. cerevisiae </em>for recombination.</p>

14.1 PCR of PheA-Arc1p-C-8x

Aim: Amplify PheA-Arc1p-C-8x fragment for Gibson Assembly in pET-28a

The PCR with TG_PheA-Arc1p-C-8x FP und TG_PheA-Arc1p-C-8x RP should generate the 2346 bp fragment for Gibson Assembly from the synthesized template.

The used Primer concentration was 1 µM, the concentration of the template was 1 ng/µL and we used a hot start to avoid unspecific annealing of primers.

The amplified fragment was purified on an agarose gel on which it showed the correct size. It was extracted from the gel for further use in a Gibson Assembly yielding a concentration of 258 ng/µL.

14.2 Digestion of pET-28a

Aim: Linearize pET-28a to prepare it for Gibson Assembly

The pET-28a vector was cut with XhoI and NdeI in order to create the ends needed for the integration of the prepared PheA-Arc1p-C-8x construct via Gibson Assembly

Lane 1 & 2 contain the expected Fragments (~ 600 bp). In Lane 3 there is a very thin fragment with the expected size (~ 1100 bp) but smaller fragments can also be seen. Lane 5 does not contain any fragment at all and in lane 6 there is the fragment of the expected size (~ 600 bp). Both samples with fragment 1 were pooled, sample 3.1 was discarded and the whole PCR-product 2.1 has been separated in an agarosegel and the fragment with 1100 bp has been cut out and purified with the Gel Extraction Kit (c = 4,4 ng/µL). A second PCR for fragment 2 has been done in parallel. All parameters remained the same but the annealing-temperature has been changed to 62 °C.

The culture was cooled down to 18 °C and the protein production was induced with 12 µL of 500 mM IPTG. Over night the culture was incubated at 18 °C and 220 rpm. A glycerolstock of the strain containing the PheA-Arc1p-C-8x-pET28a plasmid was stored at -80 °C.

The resuspended cells from 14.10 were lysed using a french press. The lysate was incubated on ice with DNAseA and RNAseI for 10 min and centrifuged (27000 rpm, 45 min, 4 °C). The supernatant was filtered (0.45 µm) and PheA-Arc1p-C-8x purified from the cleared solution by NiNTA affinity chromatography. The combined elution fractions containing crude PheA-Arc1p-C were concentrated to a volume of 2 mL and further purified using an anion exchange column to get rid of possible tRNA contaminations. Finally the buffer was changed to dialysis buffer and the protein concentrated and stored at -80 °C in aliquods for further use.

13.35 PCR with Primers iGEM-002 und iGEM-010

Aim: Create new mutation fragment for eliminating a NcoI-restriction site.

The plasmids prepared on Saturday seem to be smaller as expected. For this reason a new attempt to eliminate the restriction sites was carried out. The amplification of fragment 2 (with primers iGEM 003 and iGEM 010 on 15.04.2014) did not happen without any problems such as unspecific smaller bands in addition to the expected one (ca 1000 bp). So this time primer iGEM 003 was replaced by iGEM 002 which would result in a smaller fragment of approximately 600 bp. Later on the fragments 1 and 3 together with the new created one, the digested pMa12 construct and the amyE-fragment (to overlap the region between fragments) would be transformed into S. cerevisiae for recombination.
