08/24 - 08/28


Yeast assembly


  • Treatment of the yeast using a homemade Zymolyase solution :
    1. PBS pH 7.5 5 ml
    2. glucose 5% to make a 2% solution
    3. Zymolyase 0.1 g (0.012-0.022 mg/mL)
    4. Distilled water free RNAs/DNAs 1 mL
    5. MidiPrep of pRS415

Dilution 1/50

MidiPrep has been digested to verified if the DNA correspond to the plasmid of interest or to an other plasmid that is naturally present in yeast.

  • BamHI digestion of pRS415 (with the phosphatase step).

We can see the presence of a streak about 7500 bp which seems to correspond to our plasmid pRS415.

  • DNA concentration measurement.

  • PCR amplification of pRS415 with a mutagenesis kit using TE 8.1.
  • PCR amplification of pRS415 with a mutagenesis kit to insert nicks without TE 8.1.
    A second trial has been done and TE 8.1 has been replaced by DNAse RNAse free water.
  • Gel migration on a 0.7% agarose gel.
  • PCR amplification of pRS415 with new recommandations (protocol n°3)
  • Gel migration on a 0.7% agarose gel.
  • Preparation of electro-competent yeast cells.
  • Electroporation of pRS415 and Cre with overlapping sequences.

 

TPA solubility


  • improvement of TPA solubility in different conditions :
    1. TPA (0.1 g) + Na2H2PO4(0.5 g) in 150 ml of water: complete TPA solubilization.
    2. TPA (0.1 g) + NaOH(0.5 g) in 150 ml of water: complete TPA solubilization.
  • Fluorescence measurements :
    1. no TPAOH was observed on our measurements, the reaction worked.
