Today we set up PCR reactions for our promoter parts.
-Resuspended oligos PmalK_R and SV_06 to 100 uM.
-Diluted primers to 10 uM.
-Set up PCR for cloning using Cloning by PCR Protocol
1. P_malk
2. P_nlpA
3. P_rfaQ
Thermocycler Program: 2K55

Ran PCR samples of P_malK, P_nlpA, P_rfaQ on analytical gel.

2ul Sample + 5 uL Loading Dye Buffer

Sample 1 [Lane 3]: P_malK (525 bp)
Sample 2 [Lane 4]: P_nlpA (542 bp)
Sample 3 [Lane 5]: P_rfaQ (1031 bp)

Cleaned with Zymo Cleanup : May have used wrong buffer.

All PCR products for the class were thrown out, re-done by Prof. Anderson.

P_nlpA PCR failed yesterday. Will have to move on without that part.

EcoRI/BamHI Digest of P_rfaQ (sbb1121) and P_malK (sbb1134) using Using EcoRI/BamHI Digest Protocol

Place in thermocycler at 37 deg for 1 hr.

Gel E Lane 3: sbb1121 (P_rfaQ) [1031 bp]
Gel E Lane 4: sbb1134 (P_malK) [525 bp]

Gel was checked and cut by Prof. Anderson.

Shout out to Chris for hookin' us up with some sweet PCR.

(Gel cut out by Prof. Anderson, thanks!)

Zymo Gel Purification of sbb1121 and sbb1134 usingZymo Gel Purification Protocol

Eluted in 8ul DDW

Happy Birthday Vinidhra Mani!!!

Suhani Vora 14:31, 1 March 2011 (EST)

Ligation of sbb1121 and sbb1134 (EcoRI/BamHI) into pBjh1601KC--Bca114(EcoRI/BamHI)

Followed Ligation of EcoRI/BamHI digests Protocol

Transformation of pBjh1601KC-sbb1121 and pBjh1601KC-sbb1134 into competent E. coli cells.

Followed Transformation by Heat-shock Protocol

Plated on Kanamycin plates

Suhani Vora 14:03, 3 March 2011 (EST)

Plates look fine, transformation plates for both rxn. with ssb1121 and ssb1134 had over 100 single colonies

Colonies were picked for us, 4 cultures of each rxn. were given to us.

Mini-prepped cultures ssb1121 #1-4 and ssb1134 #1-4 following Miniprep Purification of DNA Protocol

Suhani Vora 14:48, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Mapping Plasmid Preps

Followed Template Mapping Protocol for ssb121 #1-4 and ssb1134 #1-4

1. 5 ul Ladder

10. sbb1121 #1
11. sbb1121 #2
12. sbb1121 #3
13. sbb1121 #4
