Day1
--Jennifer Lee 16:30, 12 April 2010 (EDT)
ZFN device not ready.
Transform cells with ZFN-selflysis devices. Also transform cells with 9145-sbb23 plasmid to grow up excess plasmid.
Transform 0.5uL plasmid + 10uL cells. Add 2.5uL water. Add 1.5uL KCM. Heat shock for 90 sec, allow 10 min recovery.
Prep atc dilution.
Day2
--Jennifer Lee 18:19, 14 April 2010 (EDT)
DNA Stability Test assay: Template:DNA_Stability_Test_Protocol
- pBca9145 digestion. (ask Jeni)
- Digest 12uL plasmid DNA with 0.5uL AlwN1 enzyme and 1uL NEB buffer. Incubate at 37C for an hour.--Done at 3pm
- Zymo gel purify digested plasmid. Template:SBB-Protocols_Zymo3 Store for next Monday 4/19/2010.
- Digest 12uL plasmid DNA with 0.5uL AlwN1 enzyme and 1uL NEB buffer. Incubate at 37C for an hour.--Done at 3pm
- Mini prep the sbb23 plasmid from cultures (ask Ben). Store DNA for ZFN enrichment assay.
- Atc dilution
- Raffi prepped a 1,000X atc dilution.
- Raffi prepped a 1,000X atc dilution.
Day3
--Jennifer Lee 19:18, 19 April 2010 (EDT)
Continue stability test assay: Template:DNA_Stability_Test_Protocol
- Prep cells for lysing (spin down and wash).
- Remake atc dilution: Raffi's team diluted in water and found that a 100,000X dilution was not enough to induce lysis and that a 1,000X dilution would be better. We will remake the atc solution, diluting into NEB buffer so we don't need to add more NEB to the cells.
- --450uL ddH2O, 50uL 10X NEB and 0.5uL 1X atc (2mg/mL).
- Perform stability test, up to inactivation point, with AlwN1 digested pBca9145 plasmid.
- Run gels to determine product size.
- ladder
- negative control (lysate only, no plasmid)
- Timepoint 0
- TP 7
- TP 10
- TP 15
- TP 20
- TP 30
- TP 45
- TP 60
- ladder
- Result:
- Based on the gel, we determined that this experiment failed. By discussing the lysis step with Raffi's group, we determined that the cells are not lysing after all and will try to use an alternate plasmid.
Day 4
Because the self-lysis device did not work, we are being given a new self-lysis plasmid.
- Mini-prep BamHI enzyme containing plasmid (ampR) from cells. Transform with the BamHI plasmid and new self-lysis plasmid (that has specR and BamHI site) at a 1:1 ratio (1uL). Template:SBB-Protocols_Micro1, but divide everything by 20.
- New plan:
- Want to redo lysis with 1mL total volume in a test tube at 37C, shaking. Induce lysis with 100X atc. Do this in both LB and NEB. Re-run gel
Protocols
Test for DNA Stability to Endogenous Nuclease Activity
ZFN Enrichment Assay
