Background

Aims

Results

Cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency is widely spread in India, due to diet that is mostly vegetarian. We aimed at introducing a high-level cobalamin producer to the rice batter. Tadaa.

Culture

Inoculate 100µL of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1 on YPD medium overnight (at 30°C).
This yeast will be transformed.

PCR

3 PCR were realized on HO-Poly-KanMX4-HO plasmid to create a Kanamycin resistance marker, thanks to 3 pairs of primers wich have tails we’ll be use to knock out genes PHO80, PHO85 and both in the yeast.

Protocol:
PHO80 PHO85 FRT+ PHO85
Master mix (µL) 50 50 50
H2O DNAse Free (µL) 45 45 45
Resistance plasmid (µL) 1 1 1
PHO80 5'Primer (µL) 2
PHO80 3'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 5'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 3'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 + FRT 5'Primer (µL) 2
PHO85 + FRT 3'Primer (µL) 2

PCR purification

Protocol :
  • Dilute PCR product (5 or 10 times ?) with the resuspension buffer
  • Pour it in a purification column
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Add 700µL of EtOH (washing solution)
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Add 500µLof washing solution
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Centrifuge 30sec at 14K rpm
  • Throw the filtrat
  • Put the column in a Eppendorf
  • Add 45µL of RNAse/DNAse free water right on the membrane
  • Wait 2min
  • Centrifuge 2min at 10K rpm

    • PCR control with an electrophoresis



    We expected bands around 1.300bp. The band corresponding to marker with FRT is bigger than the two others strips because these have just the Kanamycin resistance with tails, and no FRT sequences.


    Pre-culture

    Swo one colony of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SK1 in 5mL liquid YPD medium and let's grow overnight.

    Transformation of yeast

    Protocol :
    • After growth, determine the titer of the yeast culture by using spectrophotometer : pipette 10µL of cells into 1mL of wtaer in spectrophotometer cuvette and measure the OD at 600nm.
    • Add 2.5x108 cells to 50mL of 2X YPD in a culture flask.
    • Incubate the flask in a shaking incubator at 30°C until the cell culture is at least 2x107 cells.mL-1
    • Denature 1mL of carrier DNA at 99°C for 5min and chill immediately in ice.
    • Harvest the yeast cells by centrifugation at 3,000g for 5min.
    • Resuspend the pellet in 25mL of sterile water and centrifuge at 3,000g for 5min at 20°C. Repeat this wash with sterile water 2 times.
    • Resuspend the last pellet in 1mL of sterile water.
    • Transfer the cell suspension to a 1.5mL microcentrifuge tube.
    • Centrifuge for 30s at 13,000g and discard the supernatant.
    • Resuspend the cells in 1mL of sterile water and pipette 100µL samples into 1.5mL microcentrifuge tubes, one for each transformation.
    • For each transformation :
      • 240µL of PEG 3350 (50% (w/v))
      • 36µL of LiAc 1.0M
      • 50µL of single-stranded carrier DNA (2.0mg.mL-1)
      • 6µL of PCR product
      • 28µL of water DNAse Free
    • Place the tubes at 42°C for 40min.
    • Centrifuge the tubes at 13,000g for 30s in a microcentrifuge tube and remove the supernatant.
    • Pipette 1mL of YPD liquid medium into the transformation tube, and vortex mix to resuspend pellet.
    • Incubate 3h at 30°C to ensure good antibiotic expression.
    • Plate 2, 20 and 200µL of the cell suspension onto YPD medium with 200µm.mL-1 antibiotic G418.
    • Incubate the plates at 30°C for 3 days.
