Planned Schedule for Further Work:<br>
+
-
  October 31st- Successful transformants from either set of ligations (of Promoter + Fluorescent
+
-
  Protein) and transformations will be grown up for Miniprep. <br>
+
-
  November 1st- These pieces will be miniprepped and digested. Digested fragments will be ligated
+
-
  together with the terminator in the middle, into a pRS414 yeast/bacterial shuttle vector. 
+
-
  Non-digested fragments of a promoter + fluorescent protein will also individually be transformed
+
-
  into yeast, with hopes that they will fluoresce.<br>
+
-
  November 3rd- Full construct insert will be transformed into yeast, pending identity verification.<br>
+
-
  November 6th- Pretty Yeast! (Hopefully). <br>

  Summary:  Using Qiagen Kits, new minipreps and RE digests were completed for:
+
-
    Venus YFP (BBa_K110022)
+
-
    alpha promoters (BBa_110005, BBa_K110006)
+
-
    a promoter (BBa_K110016)
+
-
    mCherry (BBa_E2060)

-
  These fragments were gel purified, and are our current working batch.  They appear to be far
+
-
  cleaner (less contaminating protein and DNA), and digests have produced cut fragments of high
+
-
  enough concentrations to work with (finally).  Assembly ligations of promoter + fluorescent
+
-
  protein have been re-attempted, again into pBB414 (CAMr) vectors as well as the pRS414
+
-
  yeast/bacterial shuttle vector.<br>
+
-
  Past Miniprep methods have proven difficult (STET BOILING). These digests were cut from
+
-
  the gel and ligated together with PBC SK(-) Bacterial plasmid, and transformed into DH5alpha
+
-
  competent cells. The transformation failed, either due to:
+
-
  1) The close proximity of E and P sites at the MCS, so close that each interferes with
+
-
        restriction enzyme binding of the other.
+
-
  2) a mislabeled PBC sK-, lacking chloramphenicol resistance.
+
-
        A transformation was set up on the 28th with cut pRS414 (yeast bacteria shuttle
+
-
        vector), as well as another  attempted ligation with PBC SK(-). pUC19 was also cut
+
-
        and ligations will be attempted on the 29th.

  We have made repeated attempts to digest our minipreps with restriction enzymes for assmebly {E/S
+
-
  or X/P) but all gels produce either not enough cut product to work with or the digest runs extremely
+
-
  messily. 
+
-
  One example: <b>//picture//</b><br>
+
-
  The reasons for this are most likely twofold:
+
-
    a)  The miniprep method (STET Boiling lysozyme protocol) does not remove a lot of contaminating
+
-
        proteins and unwanted DNA, producing very 'dirty' DNA.
+
-
    b)  The proper balance between restriction enzyme and miniprep DNA amounts has not yet been reached.
+
-
        Too much DNA may inhibit enzyme digestion, and may account for a lack of clear banding at the
+
-
        expected product size range.
+
-
  We will continue to adjust the protocol to attempt a clean cut.

  Several things-
+
-
  All initial biobricks were digested with E/P to confirm their identity-where possible,
+
-
  bacterial perms in pGEM-T were used, due to biobrick vectors not producing high-copy numbers. 
+
-
  The digest photographs can be found here:
+
-
  <b>//pic//</b>
+
-
  All digests ran far too slow, possibly from overloading of enzyme.  Gels were very messy, and
+
-
  there are plans to repeat using proper concentrations of miniprep DNA vs. restriction enzymes.<br>
+
-
  Simultaneously, PCR was performed on all biobrick parts again.  If in pGEM, T7/SP6
+
-
  promoters were used, and parts in biobrick vectors were amplified using the iGEM sequencing
+
-
  primers.  See: <b>//PICTURE//</b><br>
+
-
  The PCR was directly taken and digested with proper enzymes for assembly (E/S or X/P), gel
+
-
  purified, and then ligated together into a vector pBB414 (Cam resistant). Unfortunately,
+
-
  the Taq polymerase was not disabled, and most likely polymerized at the restriction overhangs,
+
-
  leading to poor transformation counts.

  PCR was performed on all assembly minipreps using the iGEM vR and F primers
+
-
  (normally used for sequencing).  All lanes yielded unusual results, none of
+
-
  which are at the expected product size.

  All assemblies were digested with enzyme Nsp1 - the normal Chloramphenicol biobrick
+
-
  vector (without no insert)has Nsp1 sites approximately opposite each other, so digestion
+
-
  should yield a fragment of one size, half the normal Cam vector size.
+
-
  If there is an insert present, digestion will yield two bands of different sizes.
+
-
  Results of Nsp1 digest:

  While BBa_K110005 has an Nsp1 site within its sequence, the fragmentation pattern
+

  of the bands is still bizarre.

  Preps or previous clones were re-made, using a Qiagen kit and column.  Quantities were too
