Colicin Receiver

pSB1A3-Receiver-Colicin-Cloning

  • Inoculation of liquid cultures from Transformation of ligation: pSB1A3-RecluxpR.

Activity Test

Sender part

pBAD-Sender Cloning

  • Miniprep of pBAD-F1610,9: 179,6 ng/ul; Qiagen Miniprepkit
  • Inoculation of liquid cultures from Transformation of double-transformation.

Activity Test

  • Results of Colicintest: You can see that stressed Colicin E1 cells are able to kill TOP 10. But this could also be caused by Mytomycin C.

  • Growthcurve:
    • Inoculation of TOP10s with 1ml/2ml supernatant of:
      • MG1655
      • ColicinE1 unstressed
      • ColicinE1 stressed
      • ColicinE9 unstressed
      • ColicinE9 stressed
    • OD was measured hourly in tecan plate reader
    • New inoculation of same cultures in LB media.

Colicin Receiver

pSB1A3-Receiver-Colicin-Cloning

  • Minipreps of the ligation ONCsvfrom 02.09.:
concentrations:
  R1: 152,3 ng/ul
  R2: 150,4 ng/ul
  R3: 76,7 ng/ul
  R4: 132,8 ng/ul
  R5: 142,1 ng/ul 
  R6: 138,4 ng/ul
  R7: 136,8 ng/ul
  R8: 187,7 ng/ul
  • Controldigestions of ligation with XbaI and SpeI
10.0 µl DNA
 2.0 µl NEBuffer 2
 2.0 µl BamHI
 2.0 µl XbaI
 2.0 µl BSA 10x
 2.0 µl H2o
-------
20.0 µl
  • Gel of digestion:
    080903-controldigestion luxpR cloning small.jpg
  • Gelresults: Expected fragments 2150 bp and 1088 bp. The 2150 bp fragments are there but there is a 1500 bp fragment instead of the 1088 bp fragment. Despite this we made some new glycerolstocks.


Activity Test

  • Results of growth curve test from yesterday: The results were very diffusing so that we perform this test again.

  • New hourly growth curve measurement (see Tuesdaysday for details). No significant effect of colicins can be seen. Only Mytomycin C kills the TOP 10 cells very effectively

Colicin Receiver

pSB1A3-Receiver-Colicin-Cloning

  • Despite of the strange digestion pattern we try the next step of the cloning.
  • PCR of colicins:
25.0 µl Phusion MasterMix
 2.5 µl colE1prot/colE9prot_fw_BamHI
 2.5 µl colE1prot/colE9prot_rv_SpeI
18.0 µl H2O

  • Gel & Gelextraction: The expected bands were visible. After cutting we purified them using the Qiagen Gel Extraction Kit.
  • Sequencing: Send R1 (LuxR-Receiver) to GATC.
  • Inoculation of 4 receiver colonies

Activity Test

  • New plans for characterization:
    • Cloning of Colicin proteins into pQE-30 vector for His-Tag purification of colicins. Therefore we designed reverse primers with HindIII (ColE1) and XmaI(ColE9) sites.
