  • SDS-Gel:

SDS-Gel of the expression;
Lanes: Marker (prestained broad range 7-200 kDa),
T7+Tt 1h..2h..4h,
T7+Aa 1h..2h..4h,
BL21+Aa 1h..2h..4h

  • PCR with the purified PCR product from the 30.06.09 as template. Different program: nr. 25 IGEM.AM -> no result. next step should be to do a gradient PCR this afternoon. Just talk to Sven to get the details.
  • inoculated T7+Tt, T7+Aa and BL21+Aa in 3 ml LB-Kan for a new round of expression at 27°C.
  • idea from Sven: do a westernblot on the isolated proteins from the AGO-Expression to find out whether the AGO-protein is present or not.

01.07.09, 14:00-18:00 Isabel, Laura


  • gradient PCR from 60°-70°C with 8 tubes each of vector 258 diluted and undiluted, we put it in the cold room -> gel has to be done tomorrow
  • we made 100ml 1M Tris-HCl pH=6,8
  • we inoculated 4ml LB with cells from the CAT-vector #258 glycerol stock and put it into the 37°C room
  • to do: -plasmid preparation of the inoculated cells including the CAT vector
  • -test-digest of 1,5 µg of the plasmid with EaeI (cutting 3 times, fragments: 2268, 331, 1757 bp)
  • -fetch new dNTPs of the NEB freezer (snd floor)
  • -alterations of PCR-program: only one step but 30 times, with temperature gradient 55-65°C (Sven can help)

02.07.09, 09:00-18:00 Hannes, 14:00-18:30 Laura


  • AGO: expression of Aa and Tt (T7+Tt, T7+Aa, BL21+Aa) at 27°C. samples after 0, 1.5 and 4 hours
  • plasmid preparation of inoculated labvector 258
  • agarose gel with gradient pcr -> didn't work
  • nanodrop with primer and labvector -> concentrations were good
  • search for a 5 cutter restriction enzyme for the test digest for tomorrow: FOKI!
  • NanoDrop data

  • SDS-Gel of the samples from yesterday.
  • Laemmli buffer mixed and aliquoted -> -20°C

SDS-Gel of the expression; Lanes: Marker (prestained broad range 7-200 kDa, T7+Aa 1h..2h..4h, T7+Tt 1h..2h..4h, BL21+Aa 1h..2h..4h

  • we did a agarose gel from the pcr product, cut the band and eluted the DNA. As the concentration only was about 50 ng/µl we did a new gel with 3 times the amount on pcr product (150 µl). We cut the bands, eluted the DNA and got a concentration from about 100 ng/µl. We used both eluted DNA samples for the restriction digest with HindIII and MfeI (4 hours at 37°C).
  • After the restriction digest had been incubated for 4 h (37°C) we purificated it
  • Because of the fact that we eluated with 50ul and not with 30ul (better for the following ligation) we got a concentration of only 87,7ng/ul
  •  We heat up the sample to 50°C for 1 min and measured again. Finally we got a concentration of about 100 ng/ul
  •  sample Cat gene stored in the -20 °C freezer
  •  Inoculation (each 10 ml) for Protein expression and Glycerolstocks
  •  Nanodrop data:

  • digestion of the pMal-Vektor with HindIII and MfeI (both from the lab freezer), didn't work. Maybe the MfeI enzyme was bad (expired 2005)
  • started expression of AGO at 20°C. Took samples at 0, 2, 4 and 8 hours centrifuged them, decanted the supernatant and stored the pellets at -20°C in the box for Sascha.

  • 5 l LBmedia prepared
  •  we got a look at the ssDNA of the M13 phage, there is no Fok restriction site.
  •  we also made an alignment of the pMAL+CAT vector and the parts we got back from sequencing. the 2.1 clone is faultless.
  • His-Tag purification of Tt and Aa AGOs via Ni-NTA column -> SDS Gel and protein concentration measurement needs to be done on monday (all samples in the -20°C freezer!)
