Cloning of hly gene into pKSII+ vector Kama  chemocompetent E. coli dH5&alpha; were incubated on ice for 15 minutes 15&mu;l of ligation mixture was added (and 15&mu;l of control ligation, without insert) bacteria were incubated with DNA on ice for 30 minutes heat shock was conducted (1 minute 42&deg;C) bacteria were incubated on ice for 3 minutes After the heat shock 800&mu;l of SOB medium was added Mixture with bacteria was incubated for 1 hour in 37&deg;C 100&mu;l of mixture was plated on medium containing ampicillin, X-Gal and IPTG (diluted 10* and without dilution)</li> </ul> Construction of K177012 operon1_part2

Tasks:

Results:
 * Alkaline lysis of the culture containing BBa_B0032 - RBS.3 and BBa_C0012 - lacI repressor on the pSB1A2 ampicillin resistant plasmid.
 * Digest of BBa_B0032 - RBS.3 and BBa_C0012 - lacI repressor  on the pSB1A2 ampicillin resistant plasmid with XbaI/PstI to obtain the insert
 * Digest of BBa_R0051 - cI regulated Promoter on the pSB1A2 ampicillin resistant plasmid with SpeI/PstI to obtain the insert
 * Gel
 * DNA samples were cut out and frozen in the seperate eppendorfs (still within the agarose gel).



Comments:
 * There is a vector with PcI clearly visible in the first two samples. The PcI is too short to be visible on its own. The insert, that is RBS.3+LacI is visible as the 1200 band in the last three samples. The vector from two first and the insert from two last samples were cut out of the gel.

Cloning of the mgtc promoter into the pKSII+ plasmid Kamil

Tasks: <ul> Ligation verification</li> Bacteria transformation</li> </ul>

Methods: <ul> Correctness of the ligation was verified with gel electrophoresis on 1% agarose gel.</li>  A 200&mu;l batch of chemocompetent bacteria was transformed with 10&mu;l of ligation mix and incubated overnight on petri dishes containing LB medium supplemented with ampicilin, X-gal and IPTG. (see protocols section for details on transformation). </li> </ul>

Cloning of p53 coding sequence Marcin Task 1: <ul> Prepare PCR reaction to amplified p53 coding sequence.</li> </ul> Methods: <ul> DNA template dilution:</li> </ul> 1 &mi;l of plasmid solution (isolated in 11.07.09) was taken and diluted with 99 mi&;l of MQ water <ul> PCR mixture composition:</li> Composition of the mixtures was not changed. Detailed desciption is <a href="http://2009.igem.org/Team:Warsaw/Calendar-Main/20_July_2009">here</a> (in the section "Cloning of 53 coding sequence"). </ul> <ul> Program:</li></ul> p53 (detailed destription is <a href="http://2009.igem.org/Team:Warsaw/Calendar-Main/9_July_2009">here</a>) Results: No product obtained Comment: It is most likely that Pfu polimerase has been degradated.
