Checking if degradation of fusion with OmpA is a result of Top10 proteases' activity (lon, iompt)
Piotr:
Inoculation of OmpA_omega_A_alpha and OmpA_A_alpha with and without inductor (0,5 mm/mL IPTG) in E. coli Rosetta strain.
1. Isolation of plasmids from cultures inocluated on previous day.
2. Control digest of isolated plasmids with BamHI and SacI (we confirmed 4 colonies but A in our constructs turned out to be trunctated and contain only one from two highly similar domains).
Checking if OmpA_omega_A_alpha gives ampicillin resistance
Piotr
Inoculation OmpA_omega_A_alpha from various IPTG concentrations (in mmol/mL) (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) into same IPTG concentrations, but with various ampicillin concentrations (in mmol/mL)(25, 50, 75, 100) in ratio: 1:50.
Measurement of bacterial culture growth (OD) in the evening:
ampicillin concentration (μg/mL): | IPTG concentration (mmol/mL): |
0 | 0.1 | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0.75 | 1 |
25 | 1.558 | 1.469 | 1.587 | 1.49 | 1.566 | 1.311 |
50 | 1.425 | 1.435 | 1.524 | 1.055 | 0.920 | 0.935 |
75 | 1.09 | 0.989 | 1.447 | 0.971 | 0.951 | 0.992 |
100 | 0.09 | 0.685 | 1.378 | 1.078 | 0.977 | 0.992 |
Inoculation of OmpA_omega_A_alpha into various IPTG concentrations: 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 mmol/mL (replication is necessary)
