SgrS Target-GFP Fusion

People in Group: Francis Lee, Harsh Shah, Dave Korenchan

Purpose: We want to fuse the SgrS target sequence from the PtsG gene to the GFP gene on a low-copy plasmid and transform this into E. coli cells along with a high-copy plasmid carrying the SgrS gene. We expect to see translational repression of GFP by the small RNA SgrS.

Protocol(s) Used: (links to protocols page)

Recipe(s) Used:

Primers Used:

June 15

PCRs of sRNA genes and target sequences were performed using E. coli extracted chromosomal DNA and primers.

We ran a gel on our PCR reactions, and the PCRs were successful!
