Promoter Group
Ligation of Fe promoter in mRFP plasmid j61002 = 3002 bp Fe promoter insert = 1044 bp Fe promoter vector (j61002 - tet - mRFP) = 2252 bp mRFP vector (j61002 - tet) = 2952 bp
Calculations
Recalculated [Fe promoter insert] = 25 ng/ul x (1044/(1044+2252)) = 8.5 ng/ul
100 ng vector (35 ng/ul): 100/35 = 2.9 ul
3x insert (8.5 ng/ul): ((3)(1044/2952)(100))/8.5 = 12.5 ul
==> EtOH precipitation
In 1.5 ml tube combine 2.9 ul vector and 12.5 ul insert (total volume ~ 16 ul)
Add 1.6 ul NaOAc pH 4.8
Add 1 ul glycogen.
Add 55.8 ul 100% EtOH.
Dry ice 15'.
Microfuge max speed 4C 10'.
Discard supernatant and resuspend DNA pellet in 12.5 ul H2O.
Ligation Reaction
DNA+H2O 12.5 ul Ligation Buffer 1.5 ul T4 DNA Ligase 1 ul
Incubate ON @ 15C
