1. Inactivate restriction enzymes from June 23rd restriction, 80ºC for 20 min.

2. Run gel to verify extracted plasmids and restricted plasmids GFP reporter (E0240) and backbone plasmid (pSB3K3).



Lanes: 1) Ladder; 2) GFP E0240 1; 3) GFP E0240 2; 4) Backbone pSB3K3 1; 5) Backbone pSB3K3 2; 6) XbaI-PstI GFP E0240; 7) EcoRI-PstI Backbone pSB3K3.

3. Make PCR to amplify p30 and join with Minimum Blue Promoter.
 * I’ll do it with my reactives and Paz’s.
 * Enzyme used: rTth
 * Tubes are marked 1-6:
 * p30-MinBP Jorge’s reactives
 * Ctrl ~3 kb’s Jorge’s reactives
 * Ctrl - Jorge’s reactives
 * p30-MinBP Paz’s reactives
 * Ctrl ~3 kb’s Paz’s reactives
 * Ctrl - Paz’s reactives


 * Reactives needed for one reaction:
 * PCR with RTTH polymerase
 * Reaction 1	(ul x sample)
 * HPLC -> 6
 * Buffer 3.3x -> 6
 * Mg(Ac)2 -> 3
 * dNTP’s -> 5
 * Primer FWD -> 3
 * Primer REV -> 3
 * DNA -> 4
 * Total volume -> 30


 * Reaction 2 (ul x sample)
 * HPLC -> 10.5
 * Buffer 3.3x -> 9
 * RTTH -> 0.5
 * Total -> 20

4. Incubate transformed cells with backbone plasmid to extract plasmid tomorrow.


 * Advances and perspectives
 * We finnaly could insert the minimum blue promoter into plasmid 30 pSB4A5 by PCR.
 * This PCR product will be purified and GFP reporter will be inserted into this PCR product.
 * As GFP reporters we’ll use GFP E0240, recommended in the BioBrick Promoter Measurement Kit, and also GFP BBa_K145015, this reporter is well characterized by the KU Leuven 2008 team and has a half-life of 74 minutes.
 * To test Blue Promoter functionality I’ll use the iGEM BioBrick Promoter Measurement Kit. For this test I’ve done transfromations, plasmid extraction and restrictions to the GFP reporter (E0240), a backbone plasmid (pSB3K3) and BBa_I20260, a GFP regulated under the constitutive promoter J23101, as reference promoter.
 * Ligation with Blue Promoter + GFP reporters (the two GFPs described above) + Backbone plasmid will be performed by three different ways:
 * First ligate Blue Promoter + GFP reporters, and then ligate this construct to the backbone plasmid.
 * Blue Promoter + GFP reporters + Backbone plasmid by a 3-way ligation
 * Insert the Minimum Blue Promoter to backbone plasmid by PCR and then ligate GFP reporters to this PCR product.
 * I’ve done the transformations with a YFP reporter BBa_K117008 that will be used for the fluorescence assay.
