Starts our work in the lab!

Marta, a lab mate gives us a construction, the red toggle swich (E:PIF6:PhyB:VP16:Etr8:luc), we just have to add the renilla; α2 (GB160) to test it.

Make the ligation (step 2 in the protocol):

E:PIF6:PhyB:VP16:Etr8:luc+ren; Ω1
1µL E:PIF6:PhyB:VP16:Etr8:luc; α1
1µL renilla; apha2
1µL Ω1
6,8µL H2O

28 May 2015

Electroporation (step 3 in the protocol) of E. coli to insert our first construction.

Make a petri dish culture with a LB-Agar plate with streptomycin.


29 May 2015

There is no white colonies, we electroporate again and make petri dish culture.


30 May 2015

There was just one white colony, make the ligation again.

Ask for the NDronpa sequence. This will be part of our blue toggle.

This piece is known by reading the paper ‘Reversible photoswichable Dronpa-1 monitors nucleocytoplasmic transport of an RNA-binding protein in transgenic plants?(Doi: 10.111/j.1600-0854.2011.01180.lambda.).

The sequence of NDronpa is plant optimised and avoid cryptic sequences. We have domesticated this sequence with a linker in N-terminal to allow us to join it to a binding domain and also we had a NLS in the C-terminal to transport itself to the nucleus. It is domesticated as B5 part for Golden Braid assembling.

After obtaining the sequence we compare the protein in Uniprot and we can observed that our sequence add a V in the position 2. We compare this results with other papers and none of them has this addition. When we compare this sequence with the paper ?Optical control protein activity by fluorescent protein domains?(Doi: 10.1126/science.1226854) we observed that our position 146 is the position 145 and as what we want is the interaction caused by the N145-K145, we eliminate the V. We also eliminate a pair of amino acids at the end of the sequence following the same criteria.

Once obtained both variants of Dronpa, we decided to add the binding domain to KDronpa and the activation to NDronpa as this last one tetramerizes and all operator sequence are repeated in our promoters.


5 June 2015

We had 2 cultures from the last day, corresponding to other 2 colonies of ligation.

Agrobacterium culture of promoter less: Luciferase + Renilla

Minipreps

Digestion with BamHI and EcoRV

Agarose gel 1%

How to ask and make primers?

  • Select the sequence to amplify and save in FASTA format.
  • gbCloning, go to Tools-Domesticator-1?Category
  • Add FASTA and select parts.
  • On the protocol we have the primers
  • The oligos they give us:
    • 4 first nucleotides: so the enzyme can recognize without problems
    • 6 following bingind sites.
    • 1 extra nucleotide.
    • 4 overhangs.

Meeting with Daniel Ramón (Biopolis).

We’ve got white colonies from PIF+Phy and BxbI!

Pick two colonies from each construction.

Repeat digestion because we are not sure of the last digestions.

We don’t have sure the toggle, so we decide to repeat the digestion with other enzyme tomorrow, noticing that the colony 2 has better bands pattern.

Optimized ligation:

PIF-PhyB-Luc-Renilla-P19
1 µL vector
0.8 µL dilution ?GB160
1.7 µL PIF:PhyB
4.15 µL H2O
Ratio 1:2 vector insert

As BxbI was good at the digestion we put 1 µL of LB and 1 µL of Kanamicyne on the tube where it had grown and store at 37ºC to glycerinate later.

We design primers to binding domain (BD) and PIF.

  • Problem: domesticator is introduced in an old pUPD2. The new one has different bases.
  • Change manually the pUPD2 bases in the program (Benchling).

  • Check the primers and order LexA, Gal4, PIF6, LacI, Dronpa.
  • Check linker VP16 (88E) and make a primer for it.

Transformation into Agrobacteriumof Renilla (GB160) because we could not join this construction with PIF:PhyB and so we will do a cotransfection of both plasmids.Make petri dish culture.


12 June 2015

The petri dish with PIF:PhyB:luc was taken out the 37ºC room and put into the fridge to pick colonies tomorrow.


13 June 2015

Pick colonies to make liquid culture:

  • Renilla in agrobacterium: just one colony, it was made liquid culture but check carefully the gel.
  • It was noticed that the piece 160, renilla, needs a pSub plasmid to replicate itself so we will transform 160 into a agrobacterium with this plasmid (C58 pSub).

  • It was not possible to pick colonies of the Agrobacterium transformed with renilla because they did not grow. Maybe the problem is that with tetraciclyn bacterias grow slowly. Wait 1 day more.
  • Transformation of the ligation, BxbI+35S:E-PIF6:tnos; Ω1, into E. coli.Make petri dish culture.

16 June 2015

We have white colonies of renilla! Also of Etr8+BxbI; α1

We have also pUPD2 colonies but they are so close to the blue ones that we can’t pick anyone.So we make strakes.

  • We make a liquid culture of Agrobacteriumof Renilla (rif/kan/tetr).

  • Refresh the viral system that a lab mate borrow to us. This is going to be use to agroinfiltrate some plants to make some cool draws to sent to a TV programm so they can watch what are we doing. This cultures consist of three parts divided in three Agrobacteriumcolonies. They are the citoplasm, the fluerescent protein (GFP, DsRed or YFP) and the integrase, in our case PhiC31.
  • We received the reporter BxbI (RepBxbI)!
    • 500ng of sample
    • Centrifuge at 3000rpm for 5 seconds (spin).
    • Add 50 µl H2O
    • Shake it and let at 50ºC for 20min

So we decide to refresh two new colonies, one of them in a tube with the three antibiotics and another with rifampicina and kanamicine. Asun says that the tetracycline slow down the growth of Agro.
  • The 4 liquid cultures of LexA+IPTG/+gal are all blue: throw them.
  • We ordered again the primer n?0 (NDronpa R1). Changing one codon in 3?and delete another in 5?

  • The primer AsLOVpep Ri (reverse intern): it is possible that occurs a deletion in the position 147.
  • The primer AsLOVpep Fi (forward intern): change in one base A to C in the position 446, last base in the codon, the amino acid (alanine) still the same.
  • The primer AsLOVpep R (reverse): it is ok but the las 50bp are no sequenced.
  • The primer PhiC31 Fi (forward intern): did not work well. 4 consecutive deletions and changes in the nucleotides from 470 to 990.
  • The primer PhiC1 Ri2 (reverse intern 2): corrects the errors in the sequencing of the las primer. There is not deletion in the zone between 470 till 990 but is diffuse.

We fount that the culture of Pnos in Agrobacterium did not grow, so we decided not to carry on with the experiment because it was our control. Refresh again two different cultures of Pnos that were found in the fridge and do the experiment tomorrow.

Keep trying protoplasts, this time we see them in the microscope without coverslip. We can see them alive, maybe this was the error. Also we decided to leave the digestion enzymes overnight because after only 3 hours the amount of protoplasts was very little.

The band write in the digestion table only show the approximately legth of the DNA construction. We can not make a proper digestion in Benchling because we do not have the sequence of the Moflippers.

This digestions are special ones due to that we have to use BioBricks enzimes because the plasmid is a Moflipper. So the mix is:

1µl DNA
1µl Buffer O
0.5µl EcoRI
0.5µl PstI
7 µl H2O

  • We found a problem because the length of the construction is very similar to the Moflipper length, so we can not distinguish very well the bands. Moreover the total weight do not match with the expected for the plasmid.

Miniprep of the liquid cultures.

Digestion and gel, that goes wrong again.

Do the ligations again with some new things to optimizied it. So we will boil first the plasmid for 10 minutes adding DTT because BsaI cuts better with an unrolled plasmid. Then we will add ATP into the mix to improve the efficiency of the enzyme. General mix is:

DNA construction
1µl DNA1
1µl DNA2
1µl DNA3
0.5µl Mo411
1µl DTT
1µl ATP
1µl T4ligase
1µl BsaI
1.2µl BSA 10x
1.2µl buffer ligase
2.4µl H20

DNA constructions that were ligated with this technique:

  • 35S:BxbI:T35S
  • 35S:PhiC31:T35S
  • PsinATG:RepBxbI:GFP:T35S
  • PsinATG:RepPhiC31:GFP:T35S

Put the agroinfiltrated leafs to digest the membrane, let them overnight. We did 9 preparation in total.


8 September 2015

PROTOPLASTS 5.

Obtained the protoplasts and put into the corresponding plate to make the experiment.


10 September 2015

The results of the luciferase essay are not going well, we thougth that this could be caused because the time spent between the agroinfiltration and the take of samples is too long. So we decided to make a isolated experiment only with Pnos, to see its activity.

We agroinfilrate 2 plants..
