Transformation of the ligations we did yesterday

We transformed L 143, L 144 and the negative controls T1 and T2, using Invitrogen's TOP10 chemically competent cells standard protocol.

PCR amplification of flhDC and its promoter

Protocol

We followed the standard protocol of amplification in Two steps. PCR program used : PHUSION2

PCR_139 pflhDC (URI) 4 282 bp ~ 300 bp
PCR_136' pflhDC (URI) 5 X X
PCR_137' pflhDC 6 X X
We managed to amplify the promoter of flhDC

Digestions

After having succeded in amplifying the promoter and the gene of flhDC, we decided to clone it into a plasmid. The first step is the digestion.

Protocol

D 140 PCR 130 - E0240 RBS + PstI 5 µL
D 141 PCR 131 - flhD rbs - EcoRI-SpeI 5 µL
D 142 PCR 132 - flhC rbs - EcoRI-SpeI 5 µL

D 144 MP 142 - pSB3K3 EcoRI-SpeI 5 µL
D 145 MP122 - pSB1A2 EcoRI-SpeI 5 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).
  • Exclusively for D 144 : 2 µL of Antarctic Phosphatase was added, 30 min at 37°C then 5 min at 65°C.
