Week 8
20/07
Ordered a Tranetes Versicolor laccase from IDT.


Week 9
30/07
Resuspend the laccase gBlock.
Fuse laccase into pSB1C3, LacI and CBDs. Digest laccase for pSB1C3 fusion and pSB1C3 with EcoR1/Pst1. Digest laccase for pSB1A3+LacI fusion with Xba1/Pst1. Digest pSB1A3+LacI with Spe1/Pst1. Digest the CBDs with Age1/Spe1 for N terminal fusion and Xba1/NgoMIV for C terminal fusions. Digest the laccase for N terminal CBD fusion with NgoMIV/Spe1 and with Xba1/Age1 for C terminal fusions. Antarctic phosphatase treat for 15 minutes, then ligate and transform into Top10s.


31/07
Fuse LacI into laccase. Digest LacI with Spe1/Pst1 and digest laccase with Xba1/Pst1. Phosphatase treat LacI, ligate and transform into Top10s.


Week 9
03/08
Inoculate successful transformants from 30/07 (no successful transformants from 31/07).


04/08
Make glycerols, miniprep and nanodrop cultures. Diagnostic digest indicated insert only present in pSB1C3+laccase.


05/08
Sequence pSB1C3+laccase 1 and pSB1C3+laccase 2.
Retry laccase CBD fusions. Digest CBDs with Age1/Spe1 for N terminal fusions and with Xba1/Spe1 for C terminal fusions. Digest laccase with NgoMIV/Spe1 for N terminal fusions and with Xba1/Age1 for C terminal fusions. Phosphatase, ligate and transform into Top10s.


06/08
Inoculate successful transformants.


07/08
Make glycerols, miniprep and nanodrop the cultured cells. Diagnostic digest showed insert was present in some cases.


Week 10
10/08
Sequence 5.16O+laccase C1, 5.16O+laccase C2, 5.18A+laccase C1, 5.18A+laccase C2, BBa_K863111+laccase C1 and BBa_K863111+laccase C2.


12/08
Fuse laccase to remaining CBDs. Digest CBDs with EcoR1/NgoMIV for C terminal fusions and with Age1/Pst1 for N terminal fusions. Digest laccase with EcoR1/Age1 for C terminal fusions and with NgoMIV/Pst1 for N terminal fusions. Phosphatase treat ligate and transform into Top10s.


13/08
Fuse laccase to CBDCipA.
Digest laccase with NgoMIV/Pst1 for N terminal fusions and with EcoR1/Age1 for C terminal fusions. Digest CBDCipA with Age1/Pst1 for N terminal fusions and with EcoR1/NgoMIV for C terminal fusions.
Fuse LacI into Laccase.
Digest laccase with EcoR1/Xba1 and digest LacI with EcoR1/Spe1.
All backbones were phosphatase treated. Then the digested fragments were ligated and transformed into E.coli Top10 cells.
Inoculate transformants from 12/08.


14/08
Retry fusing LacI into laccase. Digest LacI with EcoR1/Spe1 and laccase with EcoR1/Xba1. Treat laccase with antarctic phosphatase, ligate and transform.
Make glycerols of cultures then miniprep and nanodrop.


16/08
Inoculate successful transformants from 13/08 and 14/08


Week 11
17/08
Diagnostic digest samples from 14/08 indicated insert present in four samples.
Make glycerols, minprep and nanodrop cultures. Diagnostic digest suggested insert present in one sample only.


18/08
Sequence 5.16O+laccase N(2), BBa+K863101+laccase C(1), BBa_K863101+laccase N(1), BBa_K863101+laccase N(2) and CBDCipA+laccase C(1).
Amplify pSB1C3 laccase (2) using PCR. PCR purify and run diagnostic digest to confirm the amplification of laccase.


19/08
Retry fusing laccase to CBDs. Digest laccase with NgoMIV/Pst1 for N terminal fusions and with EcoR1/Age1 for C terminal fusions. Digest CBDs with Age1/Pst1 for N terminal fusions and with EcoR1/NgoMIV for C terminal fusions. Antarctic phosphatase treat backbones, then ligate and transform.


20/08
