Plan

Aim: Create yeast cells that express LDLR on their cell membrane

Methods:

  1. Clone the LDLR gene.
  2. Create biobrick of LDLR.

7/6

Overview:
1.PCR LDLR gene from plasmid containing LDLR cDNA
2.gel-purify DNA from the PCR product
3.insert the DNA to vector (iGEM parts)
4.transform into E. coli and select for ampicillin resistance
5.check for transformation success using colony PCR by LDLR primers

Constructs to be created:
pGal1-Kozak-LDLR-terminator
Obtaining DNA:

Resuspended DNA in the following wells with 10ul water:

plate 1 7D
pGal1(including Kozak sequence)
Gal1 promoter
Transformed 1ul of each of the above into DH5a competent cells:

Transformation

  • Mix 1ul of DNA with 100ul of competent cells on ice.
  • Leave on ice for 30 minutes.
  • Heat shock at 42ºC for 45 seconds.
  • Leave on ice for 2 minutes.
  • Add 500ul of LB and incubate at 37ºC for 1 hour.
  • Plate on LB-ampicillin plates.

7/7

Miniprep of E.coli cells containing LDLR gene with Promega, Wizard Plus SV Miniprep DNA Purification System

Successful

7/19

PCR of LDLR

0.4ul 50uM 5’primer
0.4ul 50uM 3’primer
1.6ul 2.5mM dNTP
2ul 10×Pfu Ultra 2 buffer
0.05ul LDLR plasmid
0.5ul Pfu Ultra
15.05ul MilliQ water

Performed PCR using the following program:
1. 95ºC 2min
2. 95ºC 30sec
3. 55ºC 30sec
4. 72.5ºC 60sec
5. repeat 2-4 29times
6. 25ºC forever

PCR successful
We cut the region of LDLR out of the gel and purified PCR product using Promega kit.

infusion of LDLR

4ul PCR product (12.35ug/ml)
3ul vector (iGEM parts plate1 D-3, 14.95ug/ml)
2ul 5×infusion reaction buffer
1ul infusion enzyme

37ºC 15min
50ºC 15min

TE buffer up to 20ul

added 10ul of the sample to DH5α (090614) and put on ice for 15 min.

42ºC 45sec

added 500ul LB broth to the tube.

placed it on LB ampicilin plate.

7/20

colony PCR

put a small amount of single colony into each tube with 5ul MilliQ water

95ºC 5min

PCR reaction
1ul 10×buffer
0.8ul 2.5mMdNTP
0.08ul Ex-Taq
0.1ul 5’-primer
0.1ul 3’-primer
2.92ul MilliQ water

added the PCR reaction to each tube.

Performed PCR using the following program:
1. 95ºC 2min
2. 95ºC 30sec
3. 55ºC 30sec
4. 72.5ºC 120sec
5. repeat 2-4 29 times
6. 25ºC forever

PCR unsuccessful・・・.


7/25

gal1 sequencing by BIG DYE

1.8ul 5xB.D.3.1.buffer
0.4ul B.D.3.1.
6.3ul MilliQ water
1ul plasmid(0.15ug/ul)
0.5ul 5'or3'primer(3.2pmol/ul)

PCR Program
1.96ºC 2min
2.96ºC 10sec
3.55ºC 5sec
4.60ºC 3min
5.go to 2.29times
6.25ºC forever

add 0.5ul PHOSPHATASE ALKALINE shrimp

37ºC 1hr incubate

add 1ul 3MNaOAc

add 25ul EtOH

20000xg 4ºC 10min centrifugation

put off supernatant

dry tubes

add 15ul HiDi

put them in the sequence machine

7/26

colony PCR again, using 7/20 protocol.
PCR program
1.95ºC 2min
2.95ºC 30sec
3.55ºC 30sec
4.72.5ºC 150sec
5.go to 2. 29times

but,unsucessful.

7/27

Miniprep of E.coli cells containing LDLR gene(that yesterday picked up and cultured) with Promega, Wizard Plus SV Miniprep DNA Purification System
using AGE, found a colony that has LDLR infusion plasmid

August

PCR of GFP for fusion
program
1.95ºC 2min
2.95ºC 30sec
3.55ºC 30sec
4.72.5ºC 20sec
5.go to 2. 29 times
6.25ºC forever

We found that the length of these PCR product till now was longer than that of LDLR.

  • read the sequence of LDLR cDNA→the result didn't conform with NCBI datebase
  • change PCR program→didn't get the PCR product whose length was correct

September

We got new LDLR cDNA!

  • look for the best PCR program

→DMSO 5% or 10%
→annealing temparature 55ºC or 60ºC

result
the best program
10% DMSO
1.95ºC 2min
2.95ºC 30sec
3.60ºC 30sec
4.72.5ºC 1min
5.go to 2. 29 times
6.25ºC forever
purify the PCR product using Promega kit and insert it in iGEM part(plate1-7D:Gal1 promoter)
And, insert it and GFP in iGEM part(plate1-7D:Gal1 promoter)
