<h4>Protocol</h4>

<ol>
 +
 +
<li> Start a 5 mL yeast culture and grow overnight </li>
 +
 +
<li> Take 500 μl of overnight culture and place in 1.5 mL sterile tube. Label tube with strain
 +
 +
name and plasmid name </li>
 +
 +
<li> Spin in microcentrifuge for 30 sec at 8K rpm to pellet cells </li>
 +
 +
<li> Remove and discard supernatant </li>
 +
 +
<li> Resuspend pellet in 1 mL sterile water by gently pipetting up and down </li>
 +
 +
<li> Pellet the cells and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 30 sec again </li>
 +
 +
<li> Remove and discard supernatant </li>
 +
 +
<li> Heat ssDNA at 90-100°C for 5 min </li>
 +
 +
<li> Add 80 μl One-Step buffer (vortex after each addition), 1 μl of 1M DTT, 5 μl of ssDNA,
 +
 +
and 5 μl of plasmid. Mix well </li>
 +
 +
<li> Incubate at 42°C for 30-60 min </li>
 +
 +
<li> Add 1 mL sterile water to transformation, mix and spin at 8000 rpm for 30 seconds </li>
 +
 +
<li> Remove 800 μl liquid from tube and resuspend transformed cells in residual liquid </li>
 +
 +
<li> Plate on selective media </li>
 +
 +
<li> Parafilm plates and allow to grow for 2-4 days </li>
 +
 +
</ol>

<h4>Discussion</h4>
 +
 +
<ol>
 +
 +
<li> Add more plasmid if transformations are not working </li>
 +
 +
<li> Make a new 1-step buffer for every transformation - DO NOT USE AN OLD STOCK

<p>Inoculate 5 mL of yeast broth and grow the culture up overnight. Pipette 500 μL of the
 +
 +
culture into a sterilized 1.5 mL tube. Label the tube. Centrifuge the tube for 30 seconds at 8000
 +
 +
rpm to pellet the cells. Discard the supernatant. Add 1mL of sterile water to the tube and
 +
 +
resuspend the cells by gently pipetting up and down. Centrifuge the tube again for 30 seconds
 +
 +
at 8000 rpm to pellet the cells. Discard the supernatant. Add the following and vortex after each
 +
 +
addition: 80 μL One-step buffer, 10 μL of 1 M DTT, 5 μL of ssDNA, and 3 μL of plasmid. Mix
 +
 +
well. Incubate the tube at 42 degrees C for 30 minutes. Add 1 mL of sterile water to the
 +
 +
transformation and mix. Centrifuge again at 8000 rpm for 30 seconds. Remove and discard 800
 +
 +
μL of liquid from the tube, and resuspend the cells in the remaining liquid. Plate on selective

<p>First, add the appropriate amount of vector, insert and water to PCR tubes for desired ligation
 +
 +
ratios. Next, heat the tubes in a water bath at 42 C to free up the sticky ends. Pipette the T4 Ligase
 +
 +
Buffer and add 1.5 ul toT4 each tube. Then pipette the T4 Ligase up and down and add 1 ul to each
 +
 +
tube pipetting the mixture up and down after addition. Finally incubate the tubes at 16 C for 16

Protocols


Yeast Transformation

Written up by Bowman Clark

Purpose

This is a protocol for the transformation of plasmids into yeast.


Materials

  • Yeast culture
  • 1.5 mL sterile tube
  • Pipette
  • One-Step buffer
  • 10 microliters DTT - 1g - $42.90 Sigma Aldrich
  • 5 microliters ssDNA - 1mg - $32 Sigma Aldrich
  • 3 microliters plasmid
  • Sterile water

One-Step buffer - adding 80 microliters of (Possibly divide by factor of 10)
  • 2.06g LiAc - 250 g = $51.50
  • 40g PEG
  • Make 80 mL solution in water

      • Equipment
      • 8000 rpm microcentrifuge – 134
      • 42°C incubator - Water Bath B025
      • vortex – 134

      Protocol

      1. Start a 5 mL yeast culture and grow overnight
      2. Take 500 μl of overnight culture and place in 1.5 mL sterile tube. Label tube with strain name and plasmid name
      3. Spin in microcentrifuge for 30 sec at 8K rpm to pellet cells
      4. Remove and discard supernatant
      5. Resuspend pellet in 1 mL sterile water by gently pipetting up and down
      6. Pellet the cells and centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 30 sec again
      7. Remove and discard supernatant
      8. Heat ssDNA at 90-100°C for 5 min
      9. Add 80 μl One-Step buffer (vortex after each addition), 1 μl of 1M DTT, 5 μl of ssDNA, and 5 μl of plasmid. Mix well
      10. Incubate at 42°C for 30-60 min
      11. Add 1 mL sterile water to transformation, mix and spin at 8000 rpm for 30 seconds
      12. Remove 800 μl liquid from tube and resuspend transformed cells in residual liquid
      13. Plate on selective media
      14. Parafilm plates and allow to grow for 2-4 days

      Discussion

      1. Add more plasmid if transformations are not working
      2. Make a new 1-step buffer for every transformation - DO NOT USE AN OLD STOCK

      Paragraph form

      Inoculate 5 mL of yeast broth and grow the culture up overnight. Pipette 500 μL of the culture into a sterilized 1.5 mL tube. Label the tube. Centrifuge the tube for 30 seconds at 8000 rpm to pellet the cells. Discard the supernatant. Add 1mL of sterile water to the tube and resuspend the cells by gently pipetting up and down. Centrifuge the tube again for 30 seconds at 8000 rpm to pellet the cells. Discard the supernatant. Add the following and vortex after each addition: 80 μL One-step buffer, 10 μL of 1 M DTT, 5 μL of ssDNA, and 3 μL of plasmid. Mix well. Incubate the tube at 42 degrees C for 30 minutes. Add 1 mL of sterile water to the transformation and mix. Centrifuge again at 8000 rpm for 30 seconds. Remove and discard 800 μL of liquid from the tube, and resuspend the cells in the remaining liquid. Plate on selective media.



      Ligation Protocol

      written by Bowman Clark

      Purpose

      Protocol for preparing Parts for assembly


      Materials

      • 21 ul of digested plasmid
      • 15 ul of each digested part
      • 24 ul ddH20
      • 9 ul 10x T4 Ligase Buffer
      • 6 ul T4 Ligase
      • PCR Tubes

      Equipment

      • Thermocycler (BIND 222)
      • Water Bath (BIND 134)

      Protocol
      1. Add appropriate amounts of vector, insert, and water to PCR tubes according to the table below
      2. Heat tubes for 2 minutes in water bath at 42 C to free up sticky ends
      3. Pipette 10x buffer up and down and add 1.5 ul to each tube
      4. Pipette T4 ligase up and down and add 1 ul to each tube, pipetting up and down in each tube after the addition of the T4
      5. Incubate at 16 C for 16 hours in thermocycler

      Protocol Paragraph Form:

      First, add the appropriate amount of vector, insert and water to PCR tubes for desired ligation ratios. Next, heat the tubes in a water bath at 42 C to free up the sticky ends. Pipette the T4 Ligase Buffer and add 1.5 ul toT4 each tube. Then pipette the T4 Ligase up and down and add 1 ul to each tube pipetting the mixture up and down after addition. Finally incubate the tubes at 16 C for 16 hours in the thermocycler.

      Protocol

      1. Keep all enzymes and buffers used on ice.
      2. Thaw NEB Buffer 2 and BSA in room temperature water. Mix by shaking the tubes, and flick/spin them to collect the liquid at the bottom of the tube.
      3. Add 500ng of DNA to the appropriately labelled tube. Add distilled water to the tubes for a total volume of 36.5ul in each tube.
        1. Calculation example (with 25ng/ul as DNA sample concentration):
          500ng ÷ 25ng/ul = 20ul of DNA sample
          36.5ul (total volume) – 20ul (DNA sample) = 16.5ul of distilled water
      4. Pipet 5ul of NEB Buffer 2 to each tube.
      5. Pipet 0.5ul of BSA to each tube.
      6. Add 4uL of the appropriate enzymes
        1. For 3A:
          1. Part 1: EcoRI and SpeI
          2. Part 2: XbaI and PstI
          3. Backbone: EcoRI and PstI(IF NOT ALREADY LINEARIZED)
        2. For Standard:
          1. Insert: EcoRI and SpeI
          2. Vector: EcoRI and XbaI
      7. The total volume in each tube should be 50ul. Mix well by vortexing. Spin the samples briefly to collect all of the mixture to the bottom of the tube.
      8. Incubate the restriction digests at 37°C for 4 hours, then use immediately or store at -20C.

      Discussion

      IF THE BACKBONE IS ALREADY LINEARIZED THEN YOU DON’T NEED TO DIGEST IT.
