MutD₅ testing

Piotr

Sequencing results: there weren't any mutations in plasmids isolated from MutD₅ - maybe this strain is too weak as a mutator.

Preparation of OmpA-linker-omega-linker (BBa_K103016)

Michał K.

1. PCR on pACYC177+OmpA_omega_ΔA_alpha plasmid using OmLNXNEB and LinPBSNP primers (annealing temperature 58 °C; elongation length 90s) to obtain OmpA-linker-omega-linker (BBa_K103016) fragment.
2. Gel electrophoresis of PCR products and gel-out of proper bands (OmpA-linker-omega-linker - 900 bp).

Preparation of OmpA-linker (BBa_K103006)

Michał K.

1. Digest of pSB1A3 carrying ΔA (BBa_K103003) plasmid with NdeI and SacI Fig. 3(BamHI buffer). Dephosphorylation (CIAP) of plasmid.
2. Gel electrophoresis of digested plasmids and gel-out of proper band (pSB1A3 - 2200 bp).
3. Overnight ligation of isolated DNA fragments: pSB1A3 + OmpA_linker (BBa_K103006) (from 18 September).

Preparation of omega_linker under PT7 (BBa_K103020)

Michał K.

1. PCR on pACYC177 + OmpA_omega plasmid using OmegLNde and LinP_BS primers (annealing temperature 55 °C; elongation length 60s) to obtain omega_linker fragment.
2. Gel electrophoresis of PCR products and gel-out of proper band (omega_linker - 350 bp) (Fig. 1.).

Preparation of Z(BBa_K103004)

Michał K.

1. Digest of pGeneArt-Z and pSB1A3 carrying ΔA (BBa_K103003) plasmids with NdeI and BcuI (BamHI buffer). Dephosphorylation (CIAP) of plasmid. (Fig. 2.)
Fig. 2. Digest of plasmid pGeneArt-Z
1. Marker
2. pSB1A3 digested NdeI/BcuI

2. Gel electrophoresis of digested plasmids Fig. 3 and gel-out of proper bands (Z - 200 bp and pSB1A3 - 2200 bp).
3. Overnight ligation of isolated DNA fragments: pSB1A3 + Z (BBa_K103004).

Preparation of OmpA_linker_omega_linker under Plac (BBa_K103018)

Michał K.

1. PCR on pACYC177+OmpA_omega_ΔA_alpha plasmid using PlacL_XNE and LinP_BS primers (annealing temperature 58 °C; elongation length 90s) to obtain OmpA_linker_omega_linker under Plac (BBa_K103018) fragment.
2. Gel electrophoresis of PCR products and gel-out of proper band (BBa_K103018 - 1200 bp). Fig. 1.
