Make pdCas9-w:
Open pdCas9 and extract w subunit from pWJ66 by PCR

We received plasmids pdCas9 and pWJ66 in bacteria. We did a Miniprep (cf. Protocols) on overnight cultures to isolate them.

05.06.2015

Materials and method

  • 20 µl Phusion PCR (cf. Protocols) with 1 ng pdCas9/pWJ66, HF buffer, corresponding primers, 30 cycles, annealing temperature 58°C/62°C and extension time 150/15 seconds
  • PCR product purification (cf. Protocols)
  • Agarose gel electrophoresis of purified PCR products

Results

Gel shows that extraction of w subunit from pWJ66 was successful, but opening of pdCas9 was not.

05.10.2015

2nd attempt to open pdCas9 by PCR done with different annealing temperature and extension times. PCR of w subunit from pWJ66 used as positive control.

Materials and method

  • 20 µl Phusion PCR (cf. Protocols) with 1-3 ng pdCas9 from Miniprep samples 1 and 2 using following parameters:
    • A) Annealing temperature (Ta): 56°C; extension time (ext): 2 minutes 30 seconds, 30 cycles, HF buffer
    • B) Ta: 59°C, ext: 2 minutes 30 seconds, 30 cycles, HF buffer
    • C) Ta: from 66°C to 56°C lowering temperature by 1°C at each cycle, followed by 20 cycles with Ta 56°C, ext: 2 minutes 30 seconds, HF buffer
    • D) Same as (C) but with GC buffer
    • E) Ta: 56°C, ext: 3 minutes, 30 cycles, HF buffer
    • F) Ta: 59°C, ext: 3 minutes, 30 cycles HF buffer
    • G) Same as (F) but with GC buffer
  • PCR product purification (cf. Protocols)
  • Agarose gel electrophoresis of purified PCR products

Results

Still under construction
