Protocols
Reference : Most of these protocols come from http://openwetware.org
SOC medium
Super Original Catabolite Repressor
Bactotryptone 20g. Bacto-yeast extract 5g. NaCl 0.5g. 1M KCl 2.5ml ddH2O to 1000 ml Total Volume 1000ml
Adjust pH to 7, with 10N NaOH. Autoclave to sterilize Add 20 ml of 1M glucose before use.
TE
10xTE for 1 liter from stock solutions 10 ml 1M Tris-HCl pH 8.0 2 ml 0.5M EDTA pH 8.0 988 ml ddH2O
→ 10xTE is 10 mM Tris-HCl and 1 mM EDTA
* For the Tris-HCl use Tris base and adjust to desired pH using HCl.
SOB: Super Original Broth
Used in growing bacteria for preparing chemically competent cells Ingredients
* 0.5% (w/v) yeast extract * 2% (w/v) tryptone * 10 mM NaCl * 2.5 mM KCl * 20 mM MgSO4
Per liter:
* 5 g yeast extract * 20 g tryptone * 0.584 g NaCl * 0.186 g KCl * 2.4 g MgSO4
!!! Adjust to pH 7.5 prior to use. This requires approximately 25 ml of 1M NaOH per liter.
CCMB80 buffer
For 1L
* 10 mM KOAc pH 7.0 (10 ml of a 1M stock/L)
* 80 mM CaCl2.2H2O (11.8 g/L)
* 20 mM MnCl2.4H2O (4.0 g/L)
* 10 mM MgCl2.6H2O (2.0 g/L)
* 10% glycerol (100 ml/L)
* adjust pH DOWN to 6.4 with 0.1N HCl if necessary
o adjusting pH up will precipitate manganese dioxide from Mn containing solutions.
* sterile filter and store at 4°C
* slight dark precipitate appears not to affect its function
Antibiotics
For each antibiotic, solutions of 5 ml have been done and stored at -20°C (09.07.08)
Transformation
We used DH5-alpha cells from Bart's lab stock. We therefore followed the InVitrogen protocol.
Electrocompetent cells preparation
From segall-lab protocol
Target DNA Protocol
Materials:
5’Comp Cy5 primer
- 5’Cy5-GTC ATA CCG CCG GA
- order from IDT at 1umole, HPLC purified
- suspend to 500uM
Library primers:
- See spreadsheet for details
- 5’ Linker - BINDING SITE – 3’ Linker – TCCGGCGGTATGAC
- 5’ Linker generally: AAC
- Binding Site Generally a 12mer but can be longer
- 3’Linker generally: C
- order from IDT in a 96 well v-bottom plate suspended at 150uM in TE
Klenow Fragment 3’-5’ exo-
- Order from NEB (Cat #: M0212L)
dNTPs at 10mM each
- order from Roche (PCR Nucleotide Mix: 11581295001)
Method:
Synthesis reaction: 3uL dNTP 3uL Buffer 2 2uL Library primer 0.4uL 5’Comp Cy5 primer 1uL Klenow 3’-5’ exo- 20.6uL dH2O 30uL Final Volume
Prepare a master mix without the library primer, and load 28uL into a 96 well plate. Add 2uL of Library primer to the 96 well plate. Cycle as follows:
- 37°C for 1 hour
- 75°C for 20 mins
- ramp down to 30°C at 0.1°C/sec
- hold at 4°C
After the synthesis add 70uL of 0.5% BSA in dH2O to each well and transfer to a 384 well plate (flat bottom). Prepare dilutions as needed using 0.5% BSA dH2O.
To set up the 384 load 30uL 0.5% BSA dH2O into all columns except 1, 7, 13, 19.
Transfer the column 1 of the klenow reaction (100uL total) to column 1 row A (A1) on the 384 well plate. Perform 5 dilutions of 70uL sample into the adjacent wells containing 30uL BSA dH2O. After the 5th dilution (in column 6) discard the remaining 70uL.
Transfer column 2 of the klenow plate into A7 and perform dilutions.
Column3 -> A13, column 4 -> A19, Column 5->B1, col 6-> B7, col7->B13, col8 -> B19
You should have 30uL of target DNA in each well of the 384 plate now. Add 30uL of 0.5% BSA dH2O to each well.
The samples are now ready to be spotted.
