  • CRISPR on chromatin: transfections of g21, g22, g27 into Gal4EED/luc cells
  • Luc-mCh swap: building the donor sequence
  • SURVEYOR assay - C-on-C and mCherry



CRISPR on chromatin: transfections

  1. gRNA21/Cas9, dox+
  2. gRNA22/Cas9, dox+
  3. gRNA27/Cas9, dox+
  4. gRNA21/Cas9, dox-
  5. gRNA22/Cas9, dox-
  6. gRNA27/Cas9, dox-
  • On 8/05/14, cells were grown in 4 mL P/S-free medium to ~80% confluence in a 6-well plate, 3 with 1 μg/mL dox, 3 without dox



Luc-mCh swap: building the donor sequence

  • Designed nested PCR primers to gradually build homology arms onto mCherry. The resulting donor should...
    • Place mCherry in-frame upstream of the luciferase gene
    • Add an ATG start codon onto mCherry (we had to use KAH154 as a template, where mCherry has no start)
    • Add a double stop (TAATAG) onto the end of mCherry
    • Add 130 bp of homology with TK-luciferase to each end

PCR reaction

  • Reactions: 20 ng template DNA, 1x HF Phusion buffer, 0.2 mM dNTPs, 2.5 μL of 10 μM for each primer, 0.5 μL Phusion polymerase; in 50 μL final volume
  • Program
    • 98°C/ 30 sec
    • 30x [98°C/ 10 sec, 58°C/ 15 sec, 72°C/ 15 sec]
    • 72°C/ 10 min
    • 4°C hold


PCR product clean-up

  • Used QIAquick PCR Purification kit
  • Elute with 50 μL H2O

U2OS mock --- --- not done yet


Mismatch annealing (continued on 08/07/14)

  • Zhang Lab approach - do not mix with a wild type reference, since ~50% or more of the amplicons in the mutated cell sample will be wild type anyway
    • 200 ng clean PCR, 1x HF Phusion buffer, in final volume of 20 μL
