Preparation of pMPMT5+AID construct and PCRs for fusions

Michał K.

  1. Setup of 8 separate cultures from 8 colonies of transformants pMPMT5+AID (liquid LB+tetracycline).
  2. Optimization of conditions for PCR to obtain AID DNA fragment - annealing temperature gradient (from 62°C to 82°C). Fig. 1.
    Primers: AIDlNrH AIDpLinB
    Template DNA: pTrc99A-AID
    Elongation time: 60 sec
    20 cycles
  3. Optimization of conditions for PCR - T7 RNA polymerase for translation fusion; annealing temperature gradient (from 62°C to 82°C).
    Primers: T7lLinkB T7pXbSal
    Template DNA: E. coli Rosetta genomic DNA
    Elongation time: 4 minutes
    20 cycles
    Gradient PCR products for translation fusion (only negative control-Top10 genomic DNA): 1-DNA ladder; 2 to 6-PCR products-border annealing temperatures of gradient: 62°C (lane 2) to 82°C (lane 6).
  4. Optimization of conditions for PCR - T7 RNA polymerase for transcription fusion; annealing temperature gradient (from 62°C to 82°C).
    Primers: T7lRBSHi T7pXbSal
    Template DNA: E. coli Rosetta and TOP10 (negative control) genomic DNA
    Elongation time: 4 minutes
    20 cycles
    Gradient PCR products: upper - for transcription fusion, lower - for translation fusion; 1-DNA ladder; 2 to 12-PCR products-border annealing temperatures of gradient: 62°C (lane 2) to 82°C (lane 12)
  5. Gel electrophoresis of PCR products (there wasn't any products for T7 RNA polymerase for translation fusion).

Fig. 1. Gradient PCR products for AID: 1-DNA ladder; 2 to 13-PCR products-border annealing temperatures of gradient: 62°C (lane 2) to 82°C (lane 13)
