<p class=MsoNormal>1. We’re using various<span lang=ES-VE style='mso-ansi-language:

style='mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'> <span class=SpellE>LexA</span></span> binding

site. This won’t necessarily open heterochromatin, but it will prevent DNA from

becoming heterochromatin because it will block and HDAC from binding to the <span
 +
class=SpellE>LexA</span> binding site and therefore inhibit the DNA from
 +
becoming silenced.<o:p></o:p></p>
 +
 +
<p class=MsoNormal>2. We’re using <span class=SpellE>HATs</span> such as Sas2

and Esa1 because they will cause an oozing model where we end up acetylating

the heterochromatin and “open” it into euchromatin.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>3. We’re using VP64 - as a reader to attract <span

Notebook 6/18/08 – 10/24/08

 

Milestones:

 

Objective: Disrupt silencing to activate a gene.

Remodel chromatin so that heterochromatin can be uncoiled and opened into euchromatin so they can be activated and freely available.

 

We’re turning on the already silenced genes to produce the desired response (shift the activated genes towards silencing) by opening heterochromatin and acetylating them to become euchromatin and open.

 

Rationale - In some cases, we will want differentiation to lead to gene expression (instead of gene silencing).

 

Milestone: Create multiple fusions of DNA binding domains and activations domains.

 

More specifically…

We are creating our anti-silencing circuits using various DNA Binding Domains and activation domains. (As shown below)

 

 

DNA Binding Domains

Activation domains |

LexA PEG 202 (Full Length) NLS

LexA 1-261 (DBD-short length) NLS

LexA 1-261 mCherry NLS

Sas2

+

+

+

Esa1

+

+

+

VP64

 

 

 

mCherry

+

 

+

(+ - indicates what I’ve finally got)

 

The function of each is such:

1. We’re using various LexA domains to compete for the LexA binding site. This won’t necessarily open heterochromatin, but it will prevent DNA from becoming heterochromatin because it will block and HDAC from binding to the LexA binding site and therefore inhibit the DNA from becoming silenced.

2. We’re using HATs such as Sas2 and Esa1 because they will cause an oozing model where we end up acetylating the heterochromatin and “open” it into euchromatin.

3. We’re using VP64 - as a reader to attract HATs (writers) to they will acetylate for us and open the heterochromatin for us indirectly.

4. We’re using mCherry just as a reporter of expression level so we can run a FACs on it.

Restrick Gal yeasts on SRaf + 2% Gal and SD-Leu

 

 

Week 9:

Prepare Gal yeasts for FACs in SD + 2% Gal and SD-Leu medium.

Successful FACs results that shows unsilencing of silenced gene:

-         Gal-LexA FL-EsaI on Gal10-LexA-Sir2 / Cyc-GFP

Week 14 – 18:

Repeat western blot à gel failed to transfer to the paper.

Prepare new Quick Lysates for Western Blot of:

-         Adh1-LexA PEG 202 (FL)-Esa1 on silenced strain Adh-LexA-Sir2/Cyc-5’-GFP

-         Cyc1-LexA PEG 202 (FL)-Esa1 on silenced strain Adh-LexA-Sir2/Cyc-5’-GFP

 

Week 19:

            Andrew has done:

1)      Cut AO shuttle vectors with AarI, XmaI digested, CIP treated, gel purified.

2)      Cut AB and BD donors with AarI, gel purified.

3)      Ligations

-         Plate 2: AB shuttle + LexA (1-261) - 261bp (Probably FAILED)

-         Plate 3: BD shuttle + RPD3cat - 1000bp

-         Plate 4: BD shuttle + LexA (1-261) - 261bp

I continued work:

Miniprep Plates 1-4

Digest vectors with EcoRI & SpeI - Run gel - digestion failed

Repeat digestion with EcoRI & SpeI - Run gel – success

 

Week 20:
