Acquiring the internaline A gene from Listeria monocytogenes st. EDG-e genome

Jarek

Tasks:

• Digestion of PCR products, separetly with MboI and CaiI restriction endonucleases
• Electrophoretical segregation of digested samples in 1,5% agarose gel
• Preparation of another PCR reaction with L.monocytogenes genome DNA

Results:

• There were no visible products of digestion, even after long treatment with ethidium bromide. Propably the Clean-Up kit isn't working well. I'll try to acquire IntA gene with another PCR.

Task 1:

• Isolate the plasmids containing following construct:
• BBa_C0051 with BBa_B0032 on pSB1A3 plasmid

Methods: Plasmids were isolated using the A&A plasmid mini kit. Detailed procedure of the isolation is describedhere

Task 2:

• Digestion of plasmids previously described constructs

Methods:

• Reaction mixture composition:

20 μl purified plasmid DNA product
1 μl XbaI (Fermentas)
1 μl PstI (Fermentas) 
2 μl Buffer Tango (Fermentas)
15 μl MQ water

• Digest was performed about six hours and subsequently thermal inactivated

Task 3:

• Gel-outs of construct described in Task 2

Methods:

• All gel-outs were performed using the EurX gel-out kit according to the manual

Task 4:

• Ligation of following constructs:
  • BBa_B0032 with BBa_E0022 connected to BBa_B0032 with BBa_C0051 on pSB1A3 plasmid
  • cro CDS on pSB1A3
  • Bax CDS on pSB1A3

Methods:

• Reaction mixture composition:

10 μl digested insert
8 μl digested vector 
2 μl Tango buffer(Fermentas)
3 μl dNTPs mixture (EurX, concentration 5 mM) 
1 μl ligase T4 (Fermentas)

• Reaction were carried out 12 hours and subsequently thermally inactivated.
