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).

We?ve got white colonies from PIF+Phy and Bxb1!
Pick two colonies from each construction.

Repeat digestion because we are not sure of the last digestions.

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:

PIF-Phy-Luc-Renilla-P19
1 µL vector
0.8 µL dilution ½ GB160
1.7 µL PIF:PhyB
4.15 µL H2O
Ratio 1:2 vector insert

As BxbI 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 pUPD2. The new one has different bases.
  • Change manually the pUPD2 bases in the program (Benchling).

  • Check the primers and order LexA, Gal4, PIF6, LacI, Dronpa.
  • Check linker VP16 (88E) and make a primer for it.
  • Take out glycerinate of Ω2.

Alfredo?s part is not working.

  • Make liquid culture of E:PIF6:PhyB:VP16:luc:ren (C1-C3).
  • Minipreps of liquid culture (PIF + Phy), colonies C3, C4, C5, C6

  • Transformation into AgrobacteriumEPIF6-PhyB-VP16 + luciferase (GB896) and make petri dish culture. We are not going to have the positive control (renilla+P19) and we won?t be able to quantify and make ratios.

Transformation into Agrobacteriumof Renilla (GB160) because we could not join this construction with PIF:PhyB and so we will do a cotransfection of both plasmids.Make petri dish culture.
