Agenda
- Check sequencing results of second (uncontaminated) set of miniprepped 3K3+F2620+B0034
- Digest CPX, 3K3+F2620+B0034 (if sequencing is correct), and a hi-copy plasmid for 3A assembly
- Ligate digested CPX, 3K3+F2620+B0034, and hi-copy plasmid
- Test Standard Assembly of pSB3k3 with F2620, B0034, E1010 using AHL
- LC grown overnight
Digestion of CPX for 3A
5 µl CPX (diluted to 1µg/5µl) 0.5 µl BSA 5 µl NEB3 Buffer 1 µl XbaI 1 µl PstI 37.5 µl H2O ------------------ 50 µl Total
Digestion of (F2620 and B0034) for 3A
37 µl (F2620 and B0034) @ 27 ng/µl 0.5 µl BSA 5 µl NEB2 Buffer 1 µl EcoRI 1 µl SpeI 5.5 µl H2O ------------------ 50 µl Total
- Digested pSB1AC3: 15 µl @ 125 ng/µl
- Digestions placed in 37C @ 11am
Changes to the OWW "Transforming Chemically Competent Cells" Protocol for TK Cells
- All steps are the same, except for the following:
- In step 2, Note -- TK said that less than 5% of the solution should be cell volume
- Step 4 -- change to 45 to 50 seconds at 42 degrees
- Step 7 -- The 45 incubation time is okay for Kan and Amp resistances, but should be increased to 1.5 to 2 hours for Tet or Cm resistant cells
