Digestion of the PCR we did yesterday

Yesterday we amplified flhD, flhC, flhDC with its promoter and RBS+ Before the digestion, we have to determine the DNA concentration of the templates.

Measurement of DNA concentration

We used the biophotometer. We put 5 µL of template DNA in 95 µL of water. The Blank was made with 5 µL of EB Buffer (the one that was used for the elution of the DNA) in 95 µL of water.

Digestion

Protocol

Digestion name Template DNA Enzymes Volume of DNA
D 137 PstI 25 µL
D 138 MP 143 - E0240 EcoRI-SpeI 6.25 µL
  • X µL of Template DNA
  • Buffer (n°2) 10X : 3µL
  • BSA 100X : 0.3µL
  • Pure water qsp 30 µL
  • 1 µL of each enzyme
  • Incubate during about 3h at 37°C, then 20 minutes at 65°C (to inactivate the enzymes).

Results of the digestion

Result of the digestion to build the measurement plasmid

Electrophoresis settings

  • Gel : 1 % agar
  • 4µL template DNA for D137
  • All the digestion product for D138 because we have to separate two products, the backbone measures 2056 bp and the insert we want to extract is 899 bp long.
  • 10µL QuickLoad DNA ladder 1 kb


Name Band Expected size Measured size
D 137 2
2727 bp
3000 bp
D 138 3&4
899 bp
~1000 bp

Gel extraction and DNA purification

To extract the biobrick E0240 from the gel, we used the standard protocol number 8.
To purify the DNA we used the standard protocol number 10

The ligation will be done tomorrow.

New PCR screening with the right primers

Transformants with pFlgA, pFlgB and pFlhB cloned into J61002 are analysed by PCR but this time with the right primers: VF2 (O18) and VR (O19).

  • template: bacteria from glycerol stock
  • positive control: J61002 (with ptet-mRFP)
  • negative control: no template

Electrophoresis

  • 1% agarose gel
  • 10 µL of each sample loaded
