Plasmid DNA purification of pGEMt-Easy-LEE5p

Using [NucleoSpin Machery-Nagel] :

pGEMT easy, pGEMT easy-Lee5 P6, pGEMT easy-Lee5 P9 according to the kit.

pGEMT easy: 103, 889 ng/uL    /260/280: 1, 88

pGEMT easy-Lee5P 6: 50, 422 ng /uL   /260/280: 1, 88

LEE5P 6 and LEE5P 9 were sent for sequencing (order COL18-0506, with oligo SP6)

Sequencing results :

1pb wa different between the silico version of pGEMt easy Lee5p and the real one (pGEM t easy Lee5p 6), and the number 9 clone is completely identical to the expected sequence.

For the next step we will keep and use the clone number 9.

Results: the clone 4 and the clone 8 are good.

08/07/18 by Céline

However, for pSB1C3-LEE5-gfp, the orientation must be checked, since it could be inserted in the wrong orientation.

A new PCR on colony was made for this verification.

 

well 1, 13, 14 and 27: Gene ruler DNA ladder

The lee5 promotor PCR products were putted on gel. The DNA matrix used is the colonies, the enzyme used is polymerase DreamTaq, the primers used are VF2 and GO2018-6 and the expected size of PCR product is 660bp only if the orientation is correct.

There are suspicious faint bands nearly everywhere. We extract clone 4 , 8, 13 and 22 to confirm.

Extraction of PSB1C3- Lee5-GFP clone 13and 22

Digestion of PSB1C3- Lee5-GFP clone 13and 22  by NdeI and XBaI

well 1: Gene ruler DNA ladder

well 2 to 5: clone 4, 8, 13, 22

We can clearly see in the wells with clone 4 and clone 8 one big signal strip at 3500pb and another one at less than 500pb . This indicates that The insertion of Lee5 in the pSB1C3 RBS GFP plasmid was made in the wrong direction.

In the well were the clone 13 extract was added, we can clearly see 2 signal strips again, but this time at 3000pb and 900pb. This indicate us that the insertion was made in the right direction.

For the Well with the number 22, we cannot conclude because there is a big signal at 3500pb and 3000pb, may be the lee5 insertion is in two direction.

From these results we decided to send 20ul of the pSB1C3-Lee5-GFP number 13  for sequencing.

Since new clones were appear on petri dish,  we did anther Colony PCR to find more candidate of Lee5 in pSB1C3-LEE5-gfp.
