CONSTRUCTIONS
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-1º 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).
Ligation with part 2 and 24 of task sheet.

If we make a digestion of 896 (Luc:PIF6:PhyB)with EcoRV, we obtain: 11608, 3942 pb.

We’ve got white colonies! (from PIF+Phy and Bxb1)
Pick two colonies from each construction.
4 tubes
- 3.5µL LB each tube

8 June 2015
Minipreps of the 4 liquid cultures and digestion to see the band patterns.
Digestion:
Etr8(CMV):Bxb1:Tnos; ?1 | EcoRI | 6345, 238 |
EPIF6 + PhyB-PV16; ?1 | BamHI | 6686, 1439, 2685, 2237 |
Agarose gel was made:
Bxb1 (C1) | Bxb1 (C2) | EPIF6 + PhyB-PV16 (C1) | EPIF6 + PhyB-PV16 (C2) | |
ok | ok | |||
Repeat digestion (errors).
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 of PIF-Phy-Lac-Renilla-P19
- 1 µL vector
- 0.8 µL dilution ½ 160
- 1.7 µL big part
- 1.2 µL BSA
- 1.2 µL buffer
- 1 µL BsbmI
- 1 µL ligase
- 4.15 µL H2O
- Ratio 1:2 vector insert
As Bxb1 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 pUPD. The new one has different bases.
- Change manually the pUPD bases in the program (Benchling).

- Transformation of Agrobacterium (C58) of the 896 construction (EPIF6-PhyB-VP16 + luciferase). We are not going to have the positive control and we won’t be able to quantify (we don’t have Renilla + P19).

Transformation in Agrobacterium of Renilla (160) due to that we could not join this with PIF:phyB and so we will do a cotransfection of both plasmids. Make petri dish culture with kanamicyn and rifampicin.
12 June 2015
The petri dish with PIF:phy: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).

BxbI; alfa1+phyB; alfa2
1µl BxbI
1 µl phyB
1 µl ?2

- It was not possible to pick colonies of the Agrobacterium transformed because they did not grow. Maybe the problem is that with tetraciclyn bacterias grow slowly. Wait 1 day more.
