Inducible LOVTAP biobrick strategy

• Problem to overcome:

PstI sites in LOVTAP sequence.

• Our goal:

Biobrick consisted of LacI promoter-RBS-LOVTAP-Term (in this order).

• Material:

Biobrick of LacI promoter, RBS, LOVTAP, Term separately ( LOVTAP obtained from previous section and the rest from iGEM Spring 2009 distribution Kit plate).

• Strategy:

LacI promoter-RBS ligation with iGEM protocol (LacI promoter digested with ES, RBS digested with XP, plasmid containing an other antibiotic digested with EP).

LOVTAP is digested with ES and inserted into Term plasmid (which was digested with EX previously).

Finally, LacI promoter-RBS digested with ES to be inserted into LOVTAP-Term plasmid, digested with EX.

Partial digestion strategy

• Problem to overcome:

PstI sites in LOVTAP sequence -> Impossible to use iGEM protocol for ligation (where downstream part must be cut with XP)

• Strategy:

Cut with X first.

Divide into several solutions and add different concentrations of P (by dilution series)

• Results:

Most concentrated tube: all P sites are recognized and cut, so the number of parts diminishes with the concentration value.

Run an agarose gel and extract the right piece (recognized by the segment's length).

TRP promoter biobrick strategy

• Problem to overcome:

SpeI sites on Trp promoter sequence and it's an upstream part which has to be cut with ES.

• Strategy:

PCR: Forward primer having E and X sites and Reverse primer NheI.

Digest Trp promoter with E and NheI.

Digest plasmid with E and X.

Ligation -> E site is recreated; X and NheI have compatible ends so ligation is possible and the site is destroyed (mixted site).
