=>This is a supplementary time that the experiment of ligation-transformation don't work.
 It means that on of this step have a mistake. 
 So we need to do several test to understand where the problem is located.
 We Hypothesis that the problem is due to a defectious Ligase.

Checking our ligases

Since our ligation experiments didn't work during these few days, we presume that our problem came from the ligases. That's why we decided to check the activity of the ligases in our possession. To do so:

  • we will digest a plasmid with only one restriction enzyme (EcoRI).
  • then we will try to ligate it back using our ligases.

Condition tested

Before gel excision
well n°4: undigested plasmid (MP101.1)
well °6, 7, 8, 9: digested plasmid (D202)
After purification
ligase incubation time amount of enzyme
L1 (ligase 1) 2h00 2 U (unit)
L1 2h00 400 U
L1 O/N 2 U
L1 O/N 400 U
L2 (ligase 2) 2h00 2 U
L2 2h00 400 U
L2 O/N 2 U
L2 O/N 400 U

Digestion

Reaction mixture (carried out four times )

  • ADN (MP101.1): 3.8 µL
  • H2O: 21.9 µL
  • 10X Buffer: 3 µL
  • BSA: 0.3 µl
  • EcoRI: 1 µL

Purification

  • We purifed our digestion products by gel extraction (Qiagen kit)
  • After elution, we obtained [DNA] ~ 25 ng/µL (based on the intensity of the band)

Overnight ligation (16°C)

  • DNA: 4 µL
  • 10X Buffer: 2 µL
  • Ligase: 1 µL
  • H2O: 13 µL
