1. Dephosphorylation: Continued with double digestion base vector product from 07-09-2008. Used Antartic phosphoylase to dephosphorylate the base vector. Want to dephosphorylate the base vector to prevent it from closing - want it to stay a linear digested product. After dephosphorylation, the base vector was then incubated @ 37C for 30 minutes. Sample was then placed in a heat bath @ 65C for 15 minutes to inactivate enzyme (phosphotase).
Gene 10x Buffer DNA Phosphotase
Base Vector 5.6uL 50.0uL 1.0uL
NOTE: Total volume in dephosphorylation = 56.6uL
2. Run RXN model on Calhoun (super computer).
3. Dilute base vector culture, allow to grow, then miniprep, then streak plates and make base vector glycerol stocks.
4. Autoclave dishes
5. Ligation: Follow table below. When ligation is complete, incubate products @16C for 1 hour. Heat inactivate DNA ligase (enzyme) @ 65C for 15 minutes.
Reagent Buffer H20 Insert DNA LAMBDAcI DNA Dephosphor. Base V. T4 DNA Ligase
pro-LAMBDAcI-B.V. 4.0uL 0promoter 1.0uL 6.0uL 10.0uL 1.0uL
LAMBDAcI-term-B.V. 4.0uL 0terminator 1.0uL 6.0uL 10.0uL 1.0uL
Control 4.0uL 7.0uL 0 0 10.0uL 1.0uL


6. Ligation product Transformations: Transform the ligation products to TOP10 E. Coli cells. Allow growth for 2 hours. Following growth, 200 uL of all four ligation reactions and a control were plated on Kanamycin LB and were incubated at 37 degrees overnight.
7. Ordered Primers: Ordered primers for possible use in real-time PCR.
