On this Episode of "What we Did in the Lab Today"
Chris:
- Got sequencing results on B0043 back. I aligned them with the sequences from last year to see what they were (just doing a Blast on the optimized sequences doesnt seem to work for some reason):
- B0043-VF (the first gene) seems to be ß-Hydroxy Butyryl Co-A Dehydrogenase (1)
- B0043+1 (the second gene) seems to be Enoyl-CoA Hydratase
- B0043+2 (the third gene) seems to be Butyryl-CoA Dehydrogenase
- B0043+3 (the fourth gene) seems to be Butyraldehyde Dehydrogenase
- B0043+4 (the fourth gene) seems to be Butanol Dehydrogenase
- B0043+5 (the fifth gene) aligned with nothing, which is good because there was no 5th gene in the operon
- B0043-VR (sequencing from reverse) aligned with part of Butanol Dehydrogenase, which confirms that it is the last gene in the operon so far.
I dunno if these are in the correct order but I don't think it really matters. As long as the enzymes are being produced and have the expected activity, things should be fine (correct me if I'm wrong!)
Jason
- Researched the GAA promoter that we could used for our ERE.
- Designed a Possible BioBrick
- Learned how to run a protien gel
