Golden Gate Assembly of BD002 to Replace HsvtkTATA with CMV and HPK Promoters

Desired Constructs:

BD003: 5XGAL4-Spacer-CMV-Kozak-AMCyan-AmCyan-NLS-Stop

BD004: 5XGAL4-Spacer-HPK-Kozak-AMCyan-AmCyan-NLS-Stop

Existing construct is: 5XGAL4-Spacer-HsvTK-Kozak-AMCyan-AmCyan-NLS-Stop in V0200 mammalian vector

Amplification of CMV and HPK from KAH187 and KAH184 respectively.

The backbone vector has BSMBI cut site within the hygromycine resistance gene. I was removed though Site Directed Mutagenesis

  • Dilute the purified PCR product to 20 fmol/μL
    • Measure ng/μL of the purified sample.
    • The volume of purified DNA (x) you will need to dilute in a final volume of 20 μL = length in bp ÷ measured ng/μL * 20 fmols/μL * 650 fg/fmol ÷ 1,000,000 fg/ng * 20 μL final volume
    • Formula: x = length in bp ÷ measured ng/μL * 0.013 * 20

Backbone vector [math]\displaystyle{ X= (4600 / 209 ) * 0.013 * 20 = 5.72 }[/math]

HPK [math]\displaystyle{ X= (2203 / 70 ) * 0.013 * 20 = 8.18 }[/math]

CMV [math]\displaystyle{ X= (2275 / 42 ) * 0.013 * 20 = 14.08 }[/math]

  • Bacterial transformation , Long transformation protocol
    • Add total volume (10.0 μL) to 50 μL BL21 and DH5α, Incubate on ice for 1 min., heat shock at 42°C for exactly 45 sec., immediately place on ice for 1 min. Add 800 μL sterile SOC medium. Grow with shaking at 37°C for 45 min. Pellet the cells for 3 min. at room temp. Resuspend the cells in 100 μL LB + AMP antibiotic. Plate cells on pre-warmed LB agar + AMP antibiotic. Grow overnight at 37°C.

Result

100s of colonies on plates with DH5α , No colonies on plates with BL21.
