Thursday
| The Plan | The Day | 
| Pick in the morning. Remember controls!!Decided to forgo making large scale comp cells from things that I haven't sequenced. I will make comp cells from my transformation today of my sequenced Bsrs051 into MC1061.Check Tecan resultsPrepare PP for MM.Re-seed in proper conditions for ON (tecan??)
 | Tecan worked!The LexA rbs variants didn't work. They comp cells I did the library into were clearly just contaminated with broken reporter...Picking from Bsrs051 in MC1061 (also picking from comp cells I used yesterday just in case) Picking into 2YT CA
 | 
Wednesday
| The Plan | The Day | 
| Check SequencingPick (remember controls!)Re-seed for ON and TecanToday, I'm going to make comp cells from Bsrs051 plate.I'm also going to transform Bsrs051 (clone 1) into MC1061 to make a new plate.I'm also going to pick to make ON culture to make comp cells tomorrow.Today I will transform in my Bsrs049 rbs clones into the comp cells as well as Bsrs050.I will continue with the Tecan, but not rely on the data.Transform Bsrs049's and Bsrs050 into Bsrs051 comp cellsTransform Bsrs051 into MC1061
 | Everything sequenced perfectly except rbs7 which looked like it had a huge insertion at the rbs. So don't use it.Plates are f*cked. I need to remake the comp cells... from mini-prep.Transformed Bsrs049 (rbs 3, 5, & 8) (forgot Bsrs050!) into both the Bsrs051 comp cellsTransformed Bsrs051 into MC1061RecoveredPlated on CAS, plated on CA (also plated plain comp cells on CA and plated comp cells on Spec for contamination check)
 | 
Tuesday
| The Plan | The Day | 
| PickMini-Prep, sequence, Transform, plate
 | Mini-prepped all the new LexA408 rbs members (3-8)I transformed all the clone 1's into both Bsrs051 and MC1061, plated on CAS and Spec respectivelyI sent in all clones for sequencingI picked two colonies of each constructu: 1) MC1061 2)Bsrs051 (normal) 3) Bsrs051 (broken?) 4-7) Bsrs050, 49.1,49.2,38 in MC1061 8-11) Bsrs050, 49.1,49.2,38 in Bsrs051 comp cellsThese are located in two 24 well blocks because i screwed up the MC1061 constructus (MC1061 are in their own)NOTE: Bsrs051 comp cells might be contaminated... but more likely it looks like the promoter 'broke' because it has the CA resistance but is white, but does not grow on Spec alone. That is why I picked both 'normal' (green) and 'broken?' (white) to see growth affects.
 | 
Wednesday
| The Plan | The Day | 
| Take end-point measurement on my ON from the librariesMini-Prep best, and plasmid separateCheck Tecan results
 | Tecan results looked really good; I got a 11-12 fold reduction in GFP with -/+ AHL with 1ul into 200ul.Redo these Tecans with sula(408/408) alone in CA, Constructs alone in Spec, Reprter with Dummy plasmid again, and white cells for comparisonEnd point measurements showed clones 1, 5, 6, 14, 18, & 24as the lowest normalized RFU.I mini-prepped these and they will be of mixed plasmids.will do a plasmid separation transformation of all 6 into MC1061 and plate on CA
 | 
Tuesday
| The Plan | The Day | 
| Check sequencingMake Large Scale Comp cells. Come in at 7:30 to Put 5ml of overnight into 500mL of 2YT.Pick Library members and grow in CSTecan overnight stuff
 | Bsrs051-1 was perfect. Bsrs051-2 had a single point mutation that changed a Lysine -> Threonine in the sfGFP. It doesn't seem to have had an effect in the RFU...I have to use Bsrs051-2 in the Tecan, but I'll pick from only the Bsrs051.1's (next week) to redo the expeirment. I will also only use Bsrs051-1 for comp cells.The library plates looked really good. Nice diversity and a lot of completely off white cells which shows that the double mutant reporter an the LexA408 is working. I picked 24 colonies; 6 from each combination of rbslibrary and reporter. File:20120124 13158(crop).png
 you can see very nice healthy completely white cells as well as healthy green.
Made large scale comp cells for Bsrs051, and marked them with purple and put them in the drawer second from the bottomAlso, did an overnight Tecan with LB, DMSO, & DMSO+AHL
 | 
Monday
| The Plan | The Day | 
| Mini-Prep reporters and sequenceMake more comp cells, and digest, ligate, transform in LexA408 library into new reporters. Plate on CASPick from yesterday's plates, and grow in correct media conditions.
 | Started re-seed for comp cells and ON to make large scall comp cells tomorrowDigested Pcon-C5 and LexA408 rbs library with Bam/xhoi and BgIII/xhoi respectively.There are no BsaI sites in my Pcon-lexA408 construct so I can move my system over the analogous system that team cI is using.Sent in the mutant mutant promoters for sequencingMade double mutant comp cellsDigest, Ligated, Transformed rbslib.LexA408 into double mutant comp cellsplate on CASPicked 2 colonies of each transformation (except 2.38 & 2.49.2 because they were redundant and not useful) and grew in LB CS

 | 
Thursday
| The Plan | The Day | 
| Mini-PrepMap, Sequence
 | There was only one red culture of 3 for both Trunc5 and Truc17. The background (Ptet-cI-rbsRFp) should be red, and so should mine since its on a Pcon, so there should be no white colonies. Strange... checking band sizes. My LexA construcuts should be 200 bps less than the cI constructs. (TraR being ~1000 & 1200; RFP being around 1150 & 1350) File:20120406 14110(small).png
Clearly some mixed ligations, but I'm sequencing 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10 & 11.

Wednesday
| The Plan | 
| MM notes:create a 408/408 reporterTest a homo system with LexA408-TraR (this will be easy and should take about a week) & see if you can get AHL dependancyIn meantime see if you can just KO LexA (cell viability) (LexA KO's are not viable. they will not grow.)Also, make sure that my system isn't demonstrating OD growth defects or toxicity; Ask gabe/postdocs how to gauge for toxicityGet off Spec Plasmids (do in parallel in 9145 or something, not 9525); change reporter to just Cam... maybe? Anything except Spec, and not Amp if we're doing 9145... (Use K, C, & A)

| Mini-Prep the Bsrs049's and QCScrape library members; Mini-PrepAsk Robin & Austin to Mini-Prep more 9525-1834 / Two vials please!DESIGN OLIGOS (over spring break; study for your exam first)
 | Mini-Prepped the Bsrs049's and the scraped libraries.Sequenced well (throw away 1.1 and 2.1) 2.21 is the same as 2.17 but lacks the silent mutation so might be better to use. really shouldnt matter though.

 | Need to re-think plan. I have to KO both LexA and sulA/sulA promoter!In the meantime I might just carry on with cloning to make the mutants and truncations...Nevermind! I can get around this and use the genomic LexA to my advantage in the Bsrs038 strains.Started SOEing on 9525-rbslib-LexA constructs to make the 408 mutant so that i can transform them into Bsrs038 cells.Did two rounds of SOEing. I ran it on a gel and the bands look good but could be brighter so I'm doing what Nina suggested and doing one more round of PCR just to amplify the final product. I will pick that up tomorrow.

| Check Sequence Resultsmini-prep SulA promoter cells;sequence
 | Sequences sucked. The assembly went wrong, somehow only the stress-ToxR was left in most of them. Bss003 and Bss006 sequences well at least. Sent the other potential Bsrs044 constructs in for sequencing along with 14 other sulA promoter sequences and some LexA w.t sequences.

 | Picked 4 colonies for each SulA promoter grew in CA for the 1601CA and Spec for the 1600.Also picked four non-red 9145-Bsrs038 cells, grew in AMP.
Set up the titrationsEco/Bam'd the 8 Lex(1-87) to map. (desired size: 2400,1100)
  Lanes 2, 3, 5, & 8 looked promising; I realized that they shouldn't be red because there is not promoter, so anything that was red like lane 1 is most likely background; i sent for sequencing since I want to have this part anyway.
Sent for sequencing 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, Bss003, Bss006, and the mixed plasmids reading from ca56

 | Wobbled 189f/190r & 191f/192r (~100bps)Small Frag clean-up done.Eco/Bam'd the two Wobble reactions and 1601CA-Bss52.I accidentally put 7 ul of Part for 1601CA instead of 3 so I added .5ul of NEB2 in addition to the original .5, such that it should be around 10% of the volume.
Sequencing data came back; I forgot to specify primers so the only read I got was ca56 off Bss006 which looked great.Gel purified (small frag purified for the sula promoters)
 The 1601CA was kinda weak so I also used a E/Bam digest of 1600 from Gabe that might also be sketchy. I ligated each of the sulA promoters into these plasmids. (4 ligations)Transformed into MC1061; Recovered for 30 mins in 2YTPlated 1601CA on CA and 1600 on Spec.
