Minipreps

  • Check with E/KpnI digests
  1. pAub-AubR/MRV
  2. pBja-BjaR/MRV
  3. pBra-BraR/MRV
  4. pRpa-RpaR/MRV


Reagent Volume Expected:
1,2. pAub/AubR/MRV = 4240
3,4. pBja/BjaR/MRV = 4099
5,6. pBra/BraR/MRV = 4191

np pro. Reg/MRV = ~4000, 971
Hover name
15 μL/lane; 1% agarose; Ladder
DNA(plasmid) 2.0 μL
10X buffer 1.5
EcoRI 1.0
KpnI 1.0
dH2O 9.5
  15 μL

--> 37°C/ ~10 min.



PCR cloning trial 2

  • Use the CloneJET PCR Cloning Kit - MAN0012707 CloneJET PCR Cloning (manual)
    • pJET1.2/blunt vector is 5'-phosphorylated and accepts blunt products (Phusion PCR)
    • All common laboratory E. coli strains can be directly transformed with the ligation product
    • Re-circularized vector expresses toxic enzyme, no blue/white screening needed
    • Optimal insert : vector (0.05 pmol ends) ratio is 3:1; Calculation: length of insert DNA x 0.05 = ng insert to use


  • Ligations & transformations - CloneJET PCR Cloning Kit
  1. Luc14 + CRISPR g034; size = 630 (2.0 μL insert, from 5/13/15)
  2. Gal4EED/luc + CRISPR g034 = 630 (2.0 μL insert, from 5/13/15)
  3. Luc14 + CRISPR g034; size = 630 (4.0 μL insert)
  4. Gal4EED/luc + CRISPR g034 = 630 (4.0 μL insert)


Reagent Volume
2x reaction buffer 10.0
PCR product (>31.5 ng) 4.0
pJET1.2/blunt vector 1.0
T4 ligase 1.0
dH2O 4.0
  20.0 μL
  • Incubate the ligation mixture at room temperature (22°C) for 5 min.
  • Transform 50 μL DH5α-turbo with 10 μL ligation reaction. Follow long protocol (42°C heat shock/ recovery).
  • Plate on 100 μg/mL amp.


RESULTS (5/15/15)

  • tba



Cas-tone Project

  • STAGE 1 - pcDNA-dCas9-VP64 vector re-design
    • Knock-out VP64 from C-terminus - replace AscI-VP64:HA:STOP-EcoRI-XbaI with AscI-HA:STOP-XbaI dsOligo
    • Knock-out FLAG from N-terminus - replace SpeI-CMV:3xFLAG:NLS-SacII with PCR-amplified (SpeI)/XbaI-CMV-SpeI-NotI-SacII; use reverse primer to add SacII
  • STAGE 2 - Histone parts
    • PCR-clone histone parts as XbaI-Kozak-histone part-a-NotI. Note: Do no use Kozak BioBrick, since this will introduce unnatural amino acids onto conserved histone N-terminal tail
    • Order primers
  • STAGE 3 - Cas-fusion
    • Design primers for H2A, H2B, H3, H4, and tails
    • Insert Kozak-histone parts (X/N) into dCas9 (S/N)
  • STAGE 4 - gRNA
    • Put pre-existing gRNA (from luc experiment) into pSPgRNA
