Assemble pdCas9-w: Open pdCas9 by PCR

We received plasmid pdCas9 in bacteria. We did a Miniprep (cf. Protocols) on overnight cultures to isolate it.
pdCas9 is a plasmid containing dCas9 under a Tetracyclin inducible promoter and a Chloramphenicol resistance gene, available on Addgene under the name pdCas9-bacteria.

Materials and method

  • 20 µl Phusion PCR (cf. Protocols) with 1 ng pdCas9 testing parameters such as HF vs. GC buffer, annealing temperatures and extension times
  • PCR product purification (cf. Protocols)
  • Agarose gel electrophoresis of purified PCR products

Results

After testing many parameters, we were able to amplify the plasmid succesfully, as seen on gel above.
For further steps sample from lane 1 was used. Its parameters were: HF buffer, annealing temperature 59°C, extension time 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Assemble pdCas9-w: Extract w subunit from pWJ66 by PCR

We received plasmid pWJ66 in bacteria. We did a Miniprep (cf. Protocols) on overnight cultures to isolate it.
pWJ66 is a plasmid containing dCas9 fused at its C-terminal to the w subunit of RNA polymerase as well as a tracrRNA gene and a CRISPR array gene, available on Addgene. We will extract the w subunit to fuse it to our own dCas9.

Materials and method

  • 20 µl Phusion PCR (cf. Protocols) with 1 ng pdCas9 testing parameters such as HF vs. GC buffer, annealing temperatures and extension times
  • PCR product purification (cf. Protocols)
  • Agarose gel electrophoresis of purified PCR products

Results

Still under construction
