- 3fold master mix was prepared and divided into 3 PCR tubes
- cycling conditions were chosen according to the lab journal entry from 16.8.15 (Luisa)
- PCR product was cleaned-up with the PCR purification kit from Qiagen
- result: ~60 µl DNA with a concentration of 66.1 ng/µl
- 10 µl of the PCR product were analyzed on a 1 % agarose gel: amplification of GFP was successful (image could not be saved due to the scanner)

Repetition of variation of MgOAc start concentration in triplicates
(Koko)
- finally came round to repeat critizised experiment
- 20 µl rx's
- 800 ng pBESTluc DNA (=2000 ng/50µl)
- variation from 12 mM to 16 mM of MgOAc, as first experiment suggested 14 mM to be the optimum
- 2 h, 37°C, 0 rpm
- adding 20 µl Dilution agent + 50 µl Luciferase Assay reagent (immediately before platereading)
plate layout
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
D | 12mM | 13mM | 14mM | 15mM | 16mM | neg.(+Rmix) | neg.(+H2O) |
E | 12mM | 13mM | 14mM | 15mM | 16mM | neg.(+Rmix) | air |
F | 12mM | 13mM | 14mM | 15mM | 16mM | air | air |
Considerations
- choosing smaller rx's was needed because of lack of luciferase assay reagent
- new luciferase assay reagent AGAIN full of fungi, even after sterile filtering and storage at - 20°
- very small pipeting steps between Mg-concentrations: 0,24µl - 0,26µl - 0,28µl - 0,30µl - 0,32µl –> high error quote possible
Results
- results have been very inaccurate/ have high errors and do not confirm the findings of the first experiment.
- i blame the small rx size and therefore very small pipeting volumes for the errors.
- probably another repetition is needed
Maxiprep of HA-GFP-His6-His6 and pBEStluc
(Luisa)
- failed: c= 69 ng/µl and 183 ng/µl in 1 ml
- Repitiotion of experiment from Tuesday
- 50 µl reactions in black/transparent 384 well plate over time (2000 ng DNA/reaction)
- 480/520 nm over time
- after 2 hours spectrum 480/500-700 nm with foil and without

Comparison of Koko's and Roth's Kit
(Koko)
- Comparing kinetics of GFP expression, with linear and circular templates
- in Koko's Mix: 25µl rx's with 1µg DNA each (=optimimum)
- in Roth's Mix: 25µl rx's with 0,5µg DNA each (=optimimum)
plate layout
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
---|---|---|---|---|
C | Roth negative | Roth mix + 0,5 µg linear | Roth mix + 0,5 µg circular | air |
D | Koko mix + 1 µg circular | Koko mix + 1 µg circular | Koko mix + 1 µg linear | Koko negative |

H | GFP=? | GFP dilution=? |
- overlaying reactions with 25µl of mineral oil (because Normann said so)
- expression in platereader at 37° for 1:30h
- fluorescence measurement every 2min
- in 384 well plate, transparent, square bottom
- added a few measurements after 1:30h because Koko's still looked like it was expressing
RESULTS
- Roths don't know their GFP concentrations, so positive control is kinda worthless. Higher curve was green GFP, so probably very high concentrated; other one „1:9“ of unkown start concentration.
- Roths Kit is expressing their own linear template in an extreme amount very fast, but nothing else:
- circular DNA did not work in Roth's Kit at all
- linear DNA did not work in Koko's Kit
- very slow expression in Koko's Kit. After 1:30 only at less then 1/10th of usual sample emission values (about 8000-9000 in other experiments)
- plasmid DNA is known to express better than linear templates, so why doesn't it work in Roth's Kit at all?
- mineral oil still sucks because its harming the reaction, or is at least quenching emission values.
Cellfree expression on NiNTA
- 3 samples with HA-GFP-His6-His6 DNA (2000 ng in 15 µl) and 3 samples without DNA were spotted on a slide with spotting mask
- 2 slides were prepared as duplicates
- Kokos lysate, premix and own amino acids were used
- spotting pattern:
triplicate | triplicate | triplicate | triplicate | |
---|---|---|---|---|
spot | pos (HA-GFP-His6-His6) | neg (no DNA) | GFP (pos control) | bBSA (neg control) |
spot | pos (HA-GFP-His6-His6) | neg (no DNA) | GFP (pos control) | bBSA (neg control) |
spot | pos (HA-GFP-His6-His6) | neg (no DNA) | GFP (pos control) | bBSA (neg control) |
Miniprep of GFP from iGEM Bielefeld
- elution in 22 µl nuclease free water
- concentration: 389 ng/µl
Maxiprep of HA-GFP-His6-His6 and pBEStluc
- 2 x 250 ml were incubated over night
Kinetic assay for cellfree expression of luciferase
- 3 assays were performed by adding luciferin and dilution reagent (25 µl) to 25 µl reactions in a white 96 well plate
- measurements were taken every two minutes for 20 minutes (A1/B1 = measurement after 0 minutes of expression, A2/B2 = measurement after 2 minutes of expression, …)
- samples were measured for 116 sec
- triplicates A, B & C were measured by storing B and C on ice while measuring A (Premix and DNA were added just before measurement)
- measurement of C was unreasonably noisy

11 | Max GFP | 0,5mg/ml |
- all spots contain 2µl and have been incubated on the slide over night at 4° in a damp environment (wet towels) to keep them from evaporating.
- afterwards, the PDMS spotting mask is taken off
- the glass slide is N2-dried (using a wafer-gun)
- slide is put onto PDMS-flowchamber, protein-side facing inwards, and softly pressed on.
- slide and flowchamber are then being put into the iRIf-device and connected to the microfluidics.
Flush protocol:

Results:
Spot 11 couldnt be evaluated due to air on it. Spot 1-3 show a-HA binding (weak but clear) and good a-GFP binding → successful cellfree expression.
No strepcy5 binding can be detected: Tube to flowchamber pulled off just before that step….

Expression of HA-GFP-His6-His6
- 50µl reaction of complete Koko-system
- using the evaluated best-working DNA concentration of 2 µg (see 08.08.)
- using the evaluated best-working MgOAc-concentration of 14mM (see 10.08)
- 2h, 37°C, 0rpm
planned to use for:
spotting the finished expression onto Ni-NTA slides in collaboration with SurChem subgroup, to check for working immobilization of the tagged GFP
WesternBlot to confirm correct expression
Repetition of MgOAc-variation in Bernhard-Koko system from Mon, 10.08.
- this time using the right concentrations, otherwise exactly the same
Results:
- system completely dead, no expression
- –> Bernhard mix does not, as promised, work best between 15 and 18mM.
- other explanation: our stock of MgOAc is unknowingly slightly higher concentrated than we think it is

- –> will be repeated (see 12.08.)
Results:
- Dot Blot and Western Blot of Expressionfrom today (105): (Sabi)
- before measuring in platereader: 10 µl of reaction were passed on to SurChem
- 15µl were used for measurement in platereader
- the remaining 25 µl were mixed with 7 µl 5X SDS sample buffer and heated too 99°C for 15 min
- 2µl of the samples were spotted for a Dot Blot on activated PVDF
- After measurement in the platereader 2 µl of the reaction mix that were spotted as well (without SDS)
- for the Western Blot 25µl sample were used
- Pippetting sheme: Marker-no DnA-K/K-K/K+feed-B/K-B/K+feed
- gel run for 1,5 h at 0,03 A but looked slightly strange –> SDS sample buffer might be invested with foreign proteins
- in the biginning gel rumn very slow only on centimeter in an hour. Probably due to the missing second balance glass plate. Glass plate was attached and the run started again
- blotting at 0,14A for 1,5 h with the small blotting apperature
- whole marker was on the membrane and a little bit on the Whatman behind –> no further increase of Ampere
- blocking in TBS-T with 5% milkpowder oN at 4°C
- Continuation of Dot and Western blot from yesterday (104)
- 3x washing with TBS-T
- first anti-body: anti-YFP (1:5000)
- 3x Washing with TBS-T
- sec. Antibody: anti Rabbit (1:20000)
- 3 washing with TBS-T
- clear spots with KK+ /KK- –> However in the platereader B performed better
- only natural spotted expression mix shows clear signal –> perhaps due to differnt amount of proteins, as indicated by the ponceau staining
- two bands at the height of tYFP
expression of pIG15_105 (Prep) (Luisa)
- cellfree expression of pIG15_105 (His-tYFP-Spy) by using 5 µg of DNA with a mix of various lysates, amino acids and premixes
- selfmade system of Koko and Bernhard lysate with premix of Koko were fed with 0.5 µl Mg(OAc)2 every 20 minutes
- fluorescence measurement was performed at an excitation of 488 nm

- The Premix for 5 rx w/o lysate adds up to 99,575µl = 19,915µl per 50µl reaction.
- The negative control consists of 22,5µl lysate + 27,5µl water, no DNA.
- Reaction carried out as usual: 2h, 37°C, 0rpm
- Reactions were feeded 0,5µl of 10µM MgOAc every 20min.
DNA variation:
- Expression of pBESTluc plasmid (c=3151,4ng/µl)

- Luciferase Assay to compare expression:
- 20µl of reaction+ 20µl of dilution agent for each reaction
- in 96well plate, white, flatbottom
- adding 50µl of luciferase assay reagent (=luciferin+cofactors) to each well right before measurement
- full spectrum scan (300-700nm) in microplate reader
Results
- highest expression for DNA=2µg
- negative control showed signal higher than 1µg, which suggests errors in pipeting or mix up of data.
- Experiment was repeated with triplicates on 13.08.15
- Dot Blot of GFP of last Expression from yesterday (Sabi)
- on the activated PVDF membrane the 7 samples and a GFP positiv control were spotted

- measurement of the GFP Expression from 7.8.2015 (Sabi)
- Excitation 488 –> Emission 509-700 spectral scanning
- white plates
- remeasurement with black plates and see-through plates
- no big difference between those kinds of plates. however white plaes increase the signal and gives a distorted picture of reality.
- for example were the negative controls over 20000 relative fluorecence units
expression of pIG15_104 (Prep) (Luisa)
- cellfree expression of pIG15_104 (His-tYFP-Spy) by using 0.5 µg of DNA with a mix of various lysates, amino acids and premixes

western blot and dot blot started yesterday 4.8.15:
- 3x washing with TBS-T
- 1nd Antibody:
- anti GFP Mouse 1:3000 in TBS-T
- anti-Luc mouse 1:500 in TBS-T
- 3x washing with TBS-T
- 2nd AB: anti Mouse 1:20000
- 3X washing with TBS-T
- next time gel should be run at increased Ampère. In the applied running time, the bands didn't separate well
- perhaps a change of gel concentration would be beneficial as well
Ponceau staining of western membranes
- Dot blot shows some clear protein spots
- not a lot of protein is visible in the lines of the western blot
- some of the samples weren't visible at all –> repeat of western necessary → preparation of bigger samples necessary
Western blot(transmitted light picture; EcL-Picture[3 min]; picture of arrangement taken with camera )
- Anti-GFP shows bands in the lane of B+P –> however bands are at 15kDa it should be at 27kDa

- 24 ul of the GFP samples and negative controls were mixed with 6ul SDS 5X running buffer and heated to 95 °C for 10 min
- for Luc samples: due to not enough sample after back and forth pipetting on the plate only 20 µl sample were used
- 15 ul of the samples were put onto the blot. However pipetting was quite difficult due to solid components in the sample and inhomogenity ( perhaps next time the use of more sample is necessary. Also shering of samples with thin pipette could be tried)
- gel run for ca 2 h at 0,02 A
- Blotting of Gel for 1,5 h at 0,12 A
- Gel was stained with Comassie oN
- blot was blocked oN at 4°C( together with the dot blots) in 5% milk powder TBS-T

- pipetting scheme : marked with a pen on the blot
- 1µl of the samples were pipetted onto the methanol-activated PVDF membrane
- Membrane was still slightly wet or rewetted for the drops to be able to seep in
- with SDS buffer prepared samples were spotted onto the membrane
- additionally non treated samples were spotted onto the membrane
- for Luciferase: samples that were diluted and mixed with reaction reagent from the plate reader were used
- Membrane was blocked with TBS-T with 5% milk powder oN
