Colicin Receiver

Cloning

  • Literature research on different E. coli strains to see if they have BtuB receptor. This receptor is necessary for transport through the outer cellmembran in the prey cells. MG1655 and TOP 10 have these receptors. For DH5alpha we found no clear information.


Sender part

pBAD - Cloning

  • Transformation of pBAD18 into TOP10 cells to amplify the plasmid.
  • PCR of BBa_F1610 for pBAD18 cloning with pSB_ins Primer:

Colicin Receiver

Cloning

  • Maxiprep of pColE9-J: CompactPrep Plasmid Mxi Kit 25, Qiagen
  • Inoculation of liquid culture with pColE1 cells:
    • Data of [http://www.dsmz.de/microorganisms/html/plasmids/plasmid.dsm003877.html DSMZ homepage]:
      • Plasmid name: ColE1
      • Other collection No: JC411
      • Marker: E1imm
      • DSMZ-Nr: 3877
      • Molecular Weight: 6.6 kb
      • Host:E. coli JC411
    • Remarks: Naturally occurring plasmid; cells with plasmid ColE1 produce immunity proteins rendering the host immune to the lethal effects of the homologous colicin; non-transmissible; unique restriction site for EcoRI; non-conjugative; 10 - 15 copies per cell; amplifiable.
    • Medium: 
10.0 g Tryptone
 5.0 g Yeast extract
10.0 g NaCl
 1.0 L H2O
+0.1 % Glucose
    • Opening of the glass vial: 
Double vial is closed under vacuum.
Heat end of vial in a flame.
Put 2-3 water drops on the spike to let the glass splitt.
Use forceps to remove splitted end.
Take out the inner vial.
Remove the cotton plug and treat the inner side of the vial with flames.
Put 0.5 ml of the media into the vial, and put the cotton plug back. Incubate 30 mins for 37 °C
Stir solution with an inoculation loop an mix with 5 ml medium.
Plate 100 µl of liquid culture on LB agarplate
Incubate liquidculture and agarplate at 37 °C ON
  • 2nd Gel of controldigestion see Tuesdaysday for details:

Sender part

pBAD-Sender Cloning

  • Miniprep of pBAD18: QIAprep Spin Miniprepkit Kit (250), Qiagen
  • Maxiprep of BBa_F1610: CompactPrep Plasmid Mxi Kit 25, Qiagen
  • Cloning strategy of pBAD-Sender:
    • Amplification of BBa_F1610 with pSB_ins_fw & pSB_ins_rv
    • Use XbaI and PstI site to clone into MCS of pBAD18 plasmid
  • Digestion of BBa_F1610 and pBAD 18 with PstI and XbaI: Incubation 1.5 h -> 37°C 
10.0 µl DNA
 3.0 µl NEBuffer 3
 3.0 µl BSA 10x
 3.0 µl XbaI
 2.0 µl PstI
 9.0 µl H2O
-------
30.0 µl
  • Gelextraction of digestion: Upper band of F1610 seems to be once cutted
    080820-gelextraction pBAD F1610.jpg
  • Ligation with insert:vector ratio 3:1: 1h -> RT, Inactivation: 10 min -> 65 °C

  • Cloning Results are tested via a activity test

Activity Test

  • ONC was used for a sender activity test. The following graph shows the plate scheme for the test. (S = sender, R = Receiver, 1:5 = Sender:Receiver ratio 1:5 ...)

  • Cells were incubated and GFP intensity as well as OD were measured every 2 hours. After 2 hours we obtained that we forget to induce LuxI production with arabinose. Because of that 2 µl of a 10% arabinose dilution was putted in every well.

General

  • Internal Team Meeting:
    • Purification of Colicins:
      • Tests on different bacterial strains
