Preparing inserts

Total DNA was extracted from our yeast strains.
AEQ was amplified by PCR using oligonucleotides matching the sequence and bearing the appropriate Biobrick prefix and suffix.

Firstly, aequorin sequence is:
1 atgaccagcg accaatactc agtcaagctt acatcagact tcgacaaccc aagatggatt
61 ggacgacaca agcatatgtt caatttcctt gatgtcaacc acaatggaaa aatctctctt
121 gacgagatgg tctacaaggc atctgatatt gtcatcaata accttggagc aacacctgag
181 caagccaaac gacacaaaga tgctgtagga gccttcttcg gaggagctgg aatgaaatat
241 ggtgtggaaa ctgattggcc tgcatacatt gaaggatgga aaaaattggc tactgatgaa

481 attgatgaaa gtggacaact cgatgttgat gagatgacaa gacaacattt aggattttgg
541 tacaccatgg atcctgcttg cgaaaagctc tacggtggag ctgtccccta a


And our oligos (EcoRI and XbaI sites in bold) were:
Forward: 5'gaattcgcggccgcttctagatgaccagcg 3’
Reverse: 5’tactagtagcggccgctgcagttaggggac 3’



PCR was conducted as follows:

    A first denaturation cycle
      94º 3'

    Followed by 30 amplification cycles:

      94º 30 55º 1' 72º 1'

    And a final extension step:

      72º 7'


Results:

1 = wt (1 microlitre)
2 = wt (2 microlitres)
3 = Cch1 (1 microlitre)
4 = Mid1 (1 microlitre)
5 = Negative Control
6 = Possitive Control
(We used the same MWM)

We used wt 1 microlitre of PCR amplification product (career 1) to build the AEQ BioBrick.

Amplicons were digested (H buffer) with EcoRI y XbaI.
