Results from yesterday's ligation

  • Got 1:1 ratio of ligation: negative control for both
  • About 10 colonies total on every plate
  • Forgot to take into account X/S vector self-ligation
  • Will pick 4 colonies from each (H2B, LOV) to see if anything worked.
  • In the mean time, will retry cloning, trouble shoot procedure with help from Dr. Haynes


  • Repeat PCR of H2B and LOV inserts
  • Note: Primers add a XbaI site upstream and the SpeI, NotI, and PstI sites downstream
  1. H2B-GFP plasmid + BB_H2B fwd + BB_H2B rev
  2. LOV plasmid + BB_LOV fwd + BB_LOV rev

Total 25.0 25.0

PCR program:

  • 95°C, 3 min.
  • [95°C, 30 sec; 57°C, 30 sec.; 72°C, 30 sec.] x35 cycles
  • 72°C, 3 min.
  • 4°C ∞
  • Clean up PCR products using the Zymo Clean and Concentrator kit
  • Be sure to elute using 15 μL dH2O

Assemblies

  1. H2B - X/S - 410 bp + pSB1A3 - X/S - 2000 bp
  2. LOV - X/S - 461 bp + pSB1A3 - X/S - 2000 bp
  3. (negtaive control) pSB1A3 - X/S - 2000 bp
  • Digests:
    • In a 30 μL reaction, cut H2B with XbaI and SpeI
    • In a 30 μL reaction, cut LOV with XbaI and SpeI
Reagent H2B PCR LOV PCR

  • Run entire 30 μL on a 1% gel (use the big fat-tooth well comb)
  • Cut band out of gel (use UV box)

  1. H2B = 410
  2. LOV = 461


Dephosphorylation

Reagent Volume
DNA (clean digest) up to 11.0 (~200 ng)
10x buffer d.p. 1.5
phosphatase 0.5

  15 μL
  • Incubate at 37°C/ 10 min.
  • Heat inactivate at 75°C/ 2 min.
  • [final] = 200 ng/μL / 15 μL = ~13 ng/μL


Ligation

  • Use 20 ng of vector for each ligation = 1.5 μL pSB1A3
  • Use 2x moles of H2B insert, relative to vector: xμL H2B insert = 3 * 410 bp H2B / 2000 bp pSB1A3 * 20 ng pSB1A3 / ### ng/μL H2B = ### μL H2B
  • Use 2x moles of LOV insert, relative to vector: xμL LOV insert = 3 * 461 bp LOV / 2000 bp pSB1A3 * 20 ng pSB1A3 / ### ng/μL LOV = ### μL LOV
