Plan

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

Methods:

Clone the LDLR gene.
Create biobrick of LDLR.

July

We got LDLR cDNA and tried cloning.
Both ends of LDLR contains a lot of GC,so we had hard time...

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.

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

read the Sequence of F-spe1-Gall p-LDLR-5
read the Sequence of F-pst1-Gall p-LDLR-3

->the result didn't conform with NCBI datebase

change PCR program→didn't get the PCR product whose length was correct
