Plan
Aim: Create yeast cells that express LDLR on their cell membrane
Methods:
- Clone the LDLR gene.
- Create biobrick of LDLR.
7/6
Overview:
1.PCR LDLR gene from plasmid containing LDLR cDNA
2.gel-purify DNA from the PCR product
3.insert the DNA to vector (iGEM parts)
4.transform into E. coli and select for ampicillin resistance
5.check for transformation success using colony PCR by LDLR primers
Constructs to be created:
pGal1-Kozak-LDLR-terminator
Obtaining DNA:
Resuspended DNA in the following wells with 10ul water:
plate 1 7D
pGal1(including Kozak sequence)
[http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_J63006 Gal1 promoter]
Transformed 1ul of each of the above into DH5a competent cells:
Transformation
- Mix 1ul of DNA with 100ul of competent cells on ice.
- Leave on ice for 30 minutes.
- Heat shock at 42ºC for 45 seconds.
- Leave on ice for 2 minutes.
- Add 500ul of LB and incubate at 37ºC for 1 hour.
- Plate on LB-ampicillin plates.

Miniprep of E.coli cells containing LDLR gene(that yesterday picked up and cultured) with Promega, Wizard Plus SV Miniprep DNA Purification System
using AGE, found a colony that has LDLR infusion plasmid
August
PCR of GFP for fusion
program
1.95ºC 2min
2.95ºC 30sec
3.55ºC 30sec
4.72.5ºC 20sec
5.go to 2. 29 times
6.25ºC forever
We found that the length of these PCR product till now was longer than that of LDLR.
- read the sequence of LDLR cDNA→the result didn't conform with NCBI datebase
- change PCR program→didn't get the PCR product whose length was correct
September
We got new LDLR cDNA!
- look for the best PCR program
→DMSO 5% or 10%
→annealing temparature 55ºC or 60ºC
result
the best program
10% DMSO
1.95ºC 2min
2.95ºC 30sec
3.60ºC 30sec
4.72.5ºC 1min
5.go to 2. 29 times
6.25ºC forever
purify the PCR product using Promega kit and insert it in iGEM part(plate1-7D:Gal1 promoter)
And, insert it and GFP in iGEM part(plate1-7D:Gal1 promoter)
