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
Reagents H2B LOV
Plasmid DNA 0.5 μL 0.5
primer 1 (10 μM) 1.0 1.0
primer 2 (10 μM) 1.0 1.0
2x GoTaq mix 12.5 12.5
dH2O 10.0 10.0
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. NEB T4 ligase; H2B - X/S - 410 bp + pSB1A3 - X/S - 2000 bp
  2. NEB T4 ligase; LOV - X/S - 461 bp + pSB1A3 - X/S - 2000 bp
  3. NEB T4 ligase; (negtaive control) pSB1A3 - X/S - 2000 bp
  4. Roche T4 ligase; H2B - X/S - 410 bp + pSB1A3 - X/S - 2000 bp

  6. Roche T4 ligase; (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

Total vol. 30. 0 30.0


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


Results from gel recovery:

Sample 260 260/280 ng/μL
H2B - X/S 1 0.016 1.807 15.961
H2B - X/S 2 0.009 1.976 8.619
LOV - X/S 1 0.006 1.694 6.455
LOV - X/S 2 0.025 1.883 25.363


Results of from the digests are shown. Image:KAH_Fermentas_GeneRuler_1kbplus.jpg

  1. H2B = 410
  2. LOV = 461
  • There were two samples made of each PCR reaction. The two from the H2B are shown on the left, and the two from the LOV are shown on the right.
