datamining and investigation about DNA und FOKI. Paper Miller07, Wah1998.
3d analysis and pictures taken from pymol.
Alignment of 2BamHI and 2FOKI to get DNA in proper position. However it is still not perfekt,
but gives a reasonable insight into distances we need for the linker and where we can position the oligos.

Forscherlebens.
neues universelles werkzeug für synthetische biologen: soll laboralltag revolutionieren.
2Projekte:
Entwicklung eines universellen Schneidewerkzeuges: Man könnte es mit einem Schraubenzieher vergleichen,
auf den man alle arten von Bits aufsetzen kann. Jede Art von Schraube ist mit einem einzigen ,statt,
wie bisher mit hunderten verschiedenen Schraubenziehern herausdrehbar.
Es soll neue opensource Software für iGEM entwickelt werden, das die komplete Arbeit mit den BiobrickTM
Standard Parts in einer einzigen Anwendung zusammenführt. Dies beinhaltet das Suchen und runterladen der
Sequenzen, sowie die Zusammenstellung und Bearbeitung, bis hin zur Veröffentlichung der Sequenzen in Form eines
neuen Biobrick Parts.
Man kann sich das wie Lego basteln vorstellen: Beispielsweise man möchte ein Haus aus Lego bauen.
Dazu sucht man sich alle benötigten Steine zusammen. Aber bevor man anfängt wild drauf los zu basteln,
zieht man das Programm zu Rate und spielt alle Varianten am Computer vorher durch. Das Programm zeigt einem
dabei mittels verständlicher Grafiken, was machbar und sinnvoll ist und druckt am Ende eine fertige Bauanleitung aus.
Und da das Programm der Open-source Idee verpflichtet ist, kommen alle Anleitung für alle zur freien
Verfügung ins WWW.

05th may, 17o'clock Rüdiger

17o'clock, Meeting the Captain(Igloi) with Dieter and Rüdiger. Captain tells us about how to link PNA with Protein via Ni/Co and His tag. same could be applied to link ologo and protein. dna needs to hybridize with around 30 bases oligo to properly build up double helix.

07th may, 14-18o'clock Rüdiger

Dicussing FokI Sequence and further strategy with Laura, Gerrit Dieter and Kristian.

Companys to buy Genes from:
-Geneart
-Mr.gene(low budget version without support)
-itelichon or sth like that
-DNA 2.0 (expensive but can demand adequate features of vector)

Glenn research Bioscience offers modified nucleotides for our oligos


Vektor we should create/order now:
*must not contain IGEM restriction sites
*1FokI, active cleavage sitewe need to check literature about that.
Possible experiment with original cys containg fokI:
add iodoacetamide to it and look if it gets acetylated and if it still cleaves.
*1FokI without cleavage Aminoacids
*replacing cys by ser (first


Possible Tags (will be investigated later in more detail):
*Fluoreszin & Digoxigenin ? coupled to oligo
*Lipocalin can bind to these specufically
*does the Captain have Ni/Co for Oligo synthesis?
*or maybe Bannwarth ? ?

Program for Vector handling: Gentle

08th may, 17.15-18.30o'clock Caro

Dicussing RAG1/RAG2 DNA cleavage mechanism with Caro, Manu, Gerrit, Hannes, Kristian, Cristoph.

Question discussed:
* Which kind and how many domains have RAG1/2?
* What are the cleavage mechanims and the interaction of theese domains?
*What is the essential part of theese proteins and what can be eliminated?
Next meeting for RAG1/RAG2 and Recommbineering group: Monday, 11.may, 17.30 at kristians lab

08th may, 13:30-19:30o'clock Laura

Planning the design for two vectors including one different FokI-heterodimer each with Rüdiger, Dieter and Laura

Procedures for both vectors:
*extract coding region of Fok from the restriction-modification genes of the chromosomal DNA of Flavobacterium okeanokoites [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/148723?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Sequence.Sequence_ResultsPanel.Sequence_RVDocSum F.okeanokoites fokIR and fokIM genes]
*delete the first 1158 nucleotides/386 aa (recognition domain)
*switch Cystein 541/463-465 to Ser (TGT->TCT)

Modifications of the single vectors to introduce heterodimeric modifications according to [[Media:Miller_J,_Rebar_E_Nature_biotech_2007_25_778.pdf‎]]:

Modifications of the first vector (catalytic active heterodimer)
-heterodimeric aminio acids *switch Glutamate 490/310-312 to Lysin (GAA->AAA)
*switch isoleucin 538/454-456 to Lysin (ATC->AAA)

Modifications of the second vector (catalytic inactive heterodimer)
-heterodimeric amino acids *switch Glutamin 486/298-300 to Glutamate (CAA->GAA)
*switch Isoleucin 499/337-339 to Leucin (ATC->CTG)
-catalytic amino acids *switch Aspartate 450/190-192 to Alanin (GAC->GCG)
*switch Aspartate 467/243-245 to Alanin (GAT->GCG)

Annotations: *The notation e.g. for Cystein 541/463-465 means the amino acid 541 in literature which correspond to the codons 463-465 in our vector.
*For exchanging the amino acids we used the Codon usage table in E.coli from Hénaut and Danchin. [http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~mmaduro/codonusage/codontable.htm E.coli Codon Usage]

Next meeting: Monday, 11th may, 16pm at kristians lab

11th may, 17.30-19.30o'clock Max

Attendees: Hannes, Caro, Manuel, Gerrit, Christoph, Max
RAG: * Discussion about different domains. **If in RAG1 R855 and K856 are exchanged there is no hairpin but still nicking.
* RAG1: - cleavage active sites: D600,D708,E962 provides metalbinding function and ion -induced hydroxy-cleavage.
*RAG2: -The core is characterised by a six repeats of a kelch motif(50 residues each)
- each repead forms a four-stranded twisted antiparallel beta-sheet(six bladed propeller). This structure takes part in protein protein binding.
- T490 phosphorylation site
- aa 352-410 acidic portion
-aa 420-480 is a Cys-His rich reagion similar to homodomains of zink fingers
-R73A, K118A/K119A Hairpin-opening
- RAG2 binds RAG1 and DNA
* What can be taken away from the protein so that it still works? Large parts can be deleted without loosing recombination activity. The full length of mouse RAG1 is 1040 amino acids. Aminoacids 384-1008 are required. Mouse RAG2 has about 527 aa. Only the first 383(387)are required. In presence of Mn2+ RAG1/2 efficiently cuts an RSS(recombination signal sequence) in a DNA fragment to yield blunt 5´ phosphorylated signal ends and hairpin coding ends that retain the full coding sequence. * RAG may be quite difficult to be made suitable for our purpose. * We decided to look for another suiting enzyme just in case RAG turns out as not realizable.
Next meeting: Thursday, 05/14/09, 12.30 @ Zoo-Café

11th may, 16:00-20:30o'clock Laura

Planning the design for two vectors with Rüdiger, Dieter and Laura

Execution of the planned modifications with the program Gentle
To avoid restriction sites of the restriction enzymes used by iGEM:
*switch Isoleucin 109-111 to Isoleucin (ATT->ATC)
*switch Alanine 520-522 to Alanine (GCC->GCG)

authors of the subitems:
Team: Caro
Project: Rüdiger
Publicity: Manu
iGEM Contest: Anika, Timo
iGEM e.V.: Laura
-> send everything to Sascha

still looking for ideas, Java seems to be a good idea, program should run without an internt connnection, a Plug-In based, we will need some biologist testing this program

- sponsoring/marketing
discussion about different possibilities to find donators

- RAG1+2
group presented their plans, for the moment it seems that FOKI has the better prospect

20th may 2009, 11:00 o'clock ct. Anika

Attendees: Imi, Laura, Caro, Christoph, Rüdiger, Sascha, Kristian, Anika
Topics:
1. Vereinsbelangen
Problem: If we are going to be an 'allgemeinnütziger Verein' it is prohibited to make advertising for our sponsors. On our website as well as on our T- shirts.
Caro and Laura will go to the tax and legal advice of the u-Asta.
2. Sponsoring
We are going to start posting the letters to the companies beginning of next week. There will be an extra meeting for the sponsoring group which is not arranged yet.
3. Plasmidconstruction
The ordered things arrivedwhich means that the laboratory work can start. The FokI group is looking for people who have time to work in the lab for cloning.

One more thing: the website is going to put online on Sunday this week.
