Elements of the endeavor.

UAS Fill-in (The third time)

2014/8/12

Materials

The same as the first Fill-in experiment.

Methods

Restriction digestion for 5*UAS plasmid with EcoRI

Digestion system:(unit: ul)

Total volume 10X Buffer DNA EcoRI ddH2O
Poly A(168.8ng/ul) 30 3 15 3 9
G-PB5(293.6ng/ul) 30 3 15 3 9

Time: 8.11 8:20pm~ 10:00pm 8.12 9:30am~4:30pm [incubate 37°, overnight]

Electrophoresis to verify if most of the digested plasmid has been linearized

Loading system:(unit: ul)

Total volume/well DNA Dye TAE
12 1 2 9

Running conditions: 120V, 35min

Results of electrophoresis:


From the picture, we can see that, the position of the band of digested plasmid is apparently lying behind that of the original plasmid which hasn’t been digested by EcoRI, indicating that most of the plasmid in our digestion system has become linearized.

Transformation for these digested plasmids, to estimate the percentage of false positive colonies.

Performed as protocol for transformation. dd 2ul digested plasmid into 50ul competent cell Incubate., 37C, overnight [8.12 9:00pm~8.13 9:30am] Results:


No colonies have grown on any of these plates, which declare nearly all of the plasmids in our digestion system have been linearized.

Heat-inactivation for the digestion system & Cold shock to prevent self-ligation

75°C,10min and chill on ice

Do fill-in with T4 DNA polymerase

The remaining quantity of DNA in each tube Till now, there are still 27ul reaction liquid remaining in each tube. The quantity of DNA in each tube: Poly A: 2.1788ug G-PB5: 3.9595ug Fill-in:(unit: ul)

Total volume DNA T4 DNA polymerase(3U/ul) dNTP (10mM) 10X NEBuffer
Poly A(21.1ng/ul) 31.1 27 0.8 (theoretical volume:0.726ul) 0.3 3
G-PB5(29.36ng/ul) 31.7 27 1.4 (theoretical volume:1.132ul) 0.3 3

[According to the manual provided by NEB:The NEBuffer 2.1 for EcoRI is also suitable for T4 DNA polymerase and, 1ug DNA ~ 1 unit enzyme; final concentration for dNTP: 100uM]

Protocol a. incubate at 12°C,15min b. add 3ul EDTA(100mM) to 27ul reaction system to stop the polyreaction. c. put in 75°C,20min to inactivate T4 DNA polymerase thoroughly.

Purification of DNA by TIANquick Purification Kit to remove EcoRI,NEBuffer,T4 DNA polymerase etc.(borrowed from our RA)

Protocol:

Performed as the protocol provided, except that we eluted the DNA sample with 68°C ddH2O twice at the last step.

Results:Using 0.5ul DNA for Nanodrop Measurement

Concentration 260/280 260/230
Poly A 87.4ng/ul 1.84 2.02
G-PB5 41.2ng/ul 1.87 1.70

Blunt end ligation with T4 DNA ligase [Design a concentration gradient]

Till now, there are still 29.5ul DNA remaining in each tube

Ligation system:(unit: ul)

Poly-A Total volume DNA 10X T4 DNA ligase buffer T4 ligase EcoRI (to reduce those sticky ends ligation) ddH2O
100ng rank 31 1.5 3 1 25.5
800ng rank 31 10 3 5 13
2000ng rank 31 18 3 10 0
G-PB5 Total volume DNA 10X T4 DNA ligase buffer T4 ligase EcoRI (to reduce those sticky ends ligation) ddH2O
50ng rank 31 1.5 3 0.5 26
400ng rank 31 10 3 2.5 15.5
1000ng rank 31 18 3 5 5

Protocol: a. incubate at 16°C,15h[8.12 1:30pm ~ 8.13 8:00am ] b. Heat inactivation 65°C, 10min c. chill on ice
