Minipreps : Plasmid extraction

Extraction of pSB3K3 et E0240 in pSB1A2 plasmid from overnight bacteria culture using the QIAspin Miniprep Kit (QIAGEN) by QIACube.

  • Carried out 2 times (2 tubes)
name Biobrick plasmid
MP142 - pSB3K3
MP143 E0240 pSB1A2



Amplification of Genes of interest (OmpR, EnvZ, FlhDC)

We performed PCR on to amplify the sequence in order to have enough amount of DNA to carry out the following of our experiments.


PCR amplification

Protocol

  • List of Oligos :

O139 Gene-OmpR-R GTTTCTTCGAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAGTTATTATGCTTTAGAGCCGTCCGGTACAAAG 59


  • Preparation of the templates :
    Resuspend of 1 colony in 100µl of water.


  • Preparation of PCR mix :

For each samples,

1 µl dNTP
10 µl Buffer Phusion 5x
2,5 µl Oligo_F
2,5 µl Oligo_R
1µl template
1 µl Phusion
50 µl qsp H2O (33µl)

Name genes Oligo templates
PCR_127 FlhDC O131_O132 MG1655
PCR_128 OmpR O138_O139 Strain OmpR*
PCR_129 EnvZ O126_O127 Strain EnvZ*
PCR_Control - - O126_O127 Water
  • Program PCR_Screening : Annealing 55°C - Time élongation 1'30" - Number cycle : 29


PCR verification/Analyse

Analysis of PCR product

After the PCR :

  • 3µl have been analysed by electrophoresis
  • the other 47µl of PCR products have been purified by the Promega kit.


Electrophoresis

  • ladder : 10µl ladder 1 kb
  • samples : 3µl of PCR products + 2µl of Loading Dye
  • Conditions : migration 30min at 100W, on a 1% agarose gel
  • Results :
Name Promotor Band Expected size Measured size
PCR_Control - control - 2 0 pb
0 pb
PCR_127 FlhDC gene 3 972 pb
0 pb
PCR_128 OmpR gene 5 762 pb
700 pb
PCR_129 EnvZ gene 4 1421 pb
1400 pb

==> Conclusion : we observed the size expected for the PCR products, but not for FlhDC gene.
We hypothesis that its value of amplification for this gene it's low as we can't visualize it. So we try to continue to experiments to know if there is something inside or not this tube.


Quantification of the PCR products purified

  • Blank : 2µl of buffer EB + 98µl of water
  • Samples : 2µl of PCR purified + 98µl of water.
  • Results :
Name Genes C° (µg/ml) DO 260/280
PCR_127 FlhDC 350 1.68
PCR_128 OmpR 150 1.97
PCR_129 EnvZ 100 1.77
MP 108 cl2 (23 july) -vector- 150 1.84


Digestion of PCR products

Protocol :

Name Genes Water DNA Buffer n°2 10X BSA 100X EcoRI PstI
D139 FlhDC 23.7µl 1µl 3.0µl 0.30µl 1µl 1µl
D140 OmpR 22.7µl 2µl 3.0µl 0.30µl 1µl 1µl
D141 EnvZ 21.2µl 3.5µl 3.0µl 0.30µl 1µl 1µl
D142 -vector- 22.7µl 2µl 3.0µl 0.30µl 1µl 1µl
  • Incubate 2h30 at 37°C


Purification/Analysis

Analysis of PCR product digestion

Electrophoresis

  • ladder : 10µl ladder 1 kb
  • samples : 3µl of insert + 2µl of Loading Dye
  • Conditions : migration 30min at 100W, on a 1% agarose gel.
  • Results :
Name Promotor Band Expected size Measured size
D139 FlhDC gene 4 972 pb
0 pb
D140 OmpR gene 5 762 pb
700 pb
D141 EnvZ gene 6 1421 pb
1000 pb
D142 -vector digested- 7 2057 & 707 pb
2000 & 700 pb
D142 -vector not digested- 8 2764 pb
2100 pb

==> Conclusions : We validate the digestion of the vector and the insert. Now we can be sure, that we detect anything for FlhDC genes.

1µl of forward primer 10µM
1µl of reverse primer 10µM

L130 pFlhB O108 & O 109
L131 pFlhDC O111 & O 113


  • 50µl of PCR Mix by tube/clone
  • one toothpick of each clone's colony per tube
  • Program : Annealing 55°C - Time élongation 1'30" - Number cycle : 29

Conditions of electrophoresis

  • 10µl of ladder 100 pb
  • 10µl of screening PCR

Name Promotor Gel Band Expected size Measured size
PCR_124' pFlgA 1 2 to 9 261 pb
300 pb
PCR_125' pFlgB 1 10 to 17 261 pb

==> Conclusion:

  • PCR of pFlgA, pFlgB and pFlhB have succeed, but we always have a problem with pFlhDC probably because of the primers which are not specific.
