Cloning

STATUS: COMPLETE

Description:

Making pEXPRs hEF1a:LilrB2 and hEF1a:PirB.

titleProgress = COMPLETE
Status:
    • First and second set of liquid cultures didn't grow, possibly because:
      • Too much media
      • Plates were old, antibiotic possibly not working
  • First set of plates didn't have any blue colonies
  • Second set of plates grew blue and white colonies
    • PirB didn't grow any white colonies
    • Colonies picked for LilrB2
      • Liquid culture grew
      • Miniprepped - Product to be verified
  • Golden Gate repeated
    • cells transformed and plated
    • +ve control didn't grow
      • LilrB2 grew blue and white colonies
      • PirB grew white colonies
    • Both liquid cultures grew
    • Miniprepped - Product to be verified
    • pENTRs sent for sequencing - waiting on results 
      • LilrB2 pENTR is correct 
      • PirB pENTR not correct - Q-Q ligation, pENTR only has C terminus end of PirB 
    • New PirB pENTR colonies picked, grown and miniprepped 
      • Restriction digest ran - correct band pattern for one of the colonies
      • Correct colony sent out for sequencing - pENTR has correct sequence
  • LRs with pENTRs made 
    • Restriction digest and gel ran to verify LR products 
      • LilrB2 gave inconclusive results 
        • possible incomplete digestion
      • PirB results did not match expected band pattern 
        • Due to incorrect pENTR 
    • LilrB2 pEXPR sent out for sequencing 
      •  incomplete sequencing results 
      • LilrB2 insert is in the pEXPR
  • LR with new PirB pENTR made 
    • Restriction digest and gel ran to verify LR products 
      • PirB insert is in the pEXPR
Plan:
  •  Order LilrB2 and PirB gBlocks 
  •  Simulate Golden Gate on Geneious and make sure it works 
  •  Golden Gate gBlocks into ggDONR
  •  Transform bacteria with Golden Gate product and plate 
  •  Pick colonies and grow in liquid culture
  •  Miniprep cells and verify product 
  •  Make glycerol stocks
  •  LR into pDEST
  •  Transform, pick colonies and grow in liquid culture
  •  Miniprep cells and verify product
  •  Make glycerol stocks 
  •  Midiprep product
