We have a TON of composite bricks, and can plan custom ones.
+
Basically, we're a team of 12 undergrads, 1 grad student, and 1 professor who like to have fun and clone things in our spare time. McGill University is located in Montreal, Quebec, which has given us wonderful opportunities to balance lab work with festivals and general craziness. iGEM has been a great opportunity to get lab experience while having the freedom to be creative, and we look forward to meeting the other teams at the jamboree!

<h3><ul><li>'''Team 1: Split YFP'''</ul></h3>
 +
This project on fluorescence complementation involves the joining of two proteins, Jun and Fos, each fused to a half terminus of YFP. Both of these chimeric proteins were fused to a beta gene that codes for a membrane protein. Then, two cell populations - one expressing Jun-beta-YFPN and the other Fos-beta-YFPC - were combined, ideally resulting in the fusion of the Jun and Fos proteins on the cell membrane. The two halves of the YFP protein would bind as well, giving rise to fluorescence.

<h3><ul><li>''' Team 2: Repressilator'''</ul></h3>
-
Cell Mol Life Sci. 2006 May
+
Our project is based on the repressilator system coupled to quorum sensing as described by Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo, Michael B. Elowitz and Steven H. Strogatz in "Modeling a synthetic multicellular clock: Repressilators coupled by quorum sensing" (PNAS). We attempt to visualize the synchronization of the oscillatory phase between cells by the addition of the CFP reporter gene. We expand on this theory by placing cI under the control of pLac, hoping that this would assist in synchronizing the oscillations.

CHAIN REACTION PREMADE:

BBa_I13036: Arabinose induces TetR. TetR induces LuxR. LuxR induces YFP if a homoserine lactone signal is received.
+
-
 
+

+
-
 
+
-

Lac I shuts off luxL protein (homoserine lactone) which shuts down lac I and HSL production, Lux pL is free to start over. Lac I and LuxL are slow destabilized, LVA.
+
-
 
+
-
BBa_I13921: Same as BBa_I13920 but TetR (LVA destabilized) is substituted for Lac I.

+
-
 
+
-
BBa_J06913: If you add 434, you repress lambda (LVA slow destabilized). YFP is downstream of a lambda promoter so by adding 434 you reduce repression and turn on YFP.

=Introduction= Our brainstorming meeting on 3-16 gave us several preliminary ideas which we will explore via modeling and research
+
-
Things I learned at the teach the teachers meeting
+
-
 
+
-
Standard plasmids: pSB1AK3 ("ampicillin kanamycin")
+
-
                  pSB1AT3 ("amplicillin tetracycline)
+
-
                  pSB1AC3 ("ampicillin chloramphenicol)
+
-
all of these are high copy number, if inappropriate, also provided are inducible plasmids:
+
-
                  pSB2K3 (IPTG inducible)
+
-
 
+
-
the "3" refers to the MCS and the transcriptional terminator
+
-
We will be provided with a plate with dried DNA samples, we can amplify the ones that we want
+
-
There are standard cloning protocols that use specific sites; products are checked by sequencing with promoter sequences VF ("verification forward") and VR ("verification reverse")
+
-
They often use 3-way ligations selected with 2 antibiotics to create composites
+
{| cellspacing="2px" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="padding: 0px; width: 750px; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;"
-
You can put > 1 plasmid in a cell; chose according to copy number desired (eg, you might want GFP at high copy and AraC at low...)

-
They should have the "BioBrick ends" what does this mean?
+
<Center>[[Image:Poutine.gif]]</Center>
-
We will get 2 384-well plates with the DNA; pierce the foil, dissolve in 30-50 microliters, and transform
+
__NOTOC__
-
it's colour-coded with food coloring: KANAMYCIN = red; TET = yellow; CHLOR = green; AMP = orange
+
-
the key to what's in each well will be provided on the registry
+
-
fill out address on Group pages next week!
+
-
when we send parts, they should be sent as stabs labeled w/ part name, plasmid, cell (on Help page)
+
-
(or foreign schools can send dried DNA)
+
-
as soon as a part is Available, it will be sent to EVERYONE, that way they don't worry about shopping lists
+
-
The letters on the plates are very small, so watch out

Welcome to the McGill Wiki! Basically, we're a team of 12 undergrads, 1 grad student, and 1 professor who like to have fun and clone things in our spare time. McGill University is located in Montreal, Quebec, which has given us wonderful opportunities to balance lab work with festivals and general craziness. iGEM has been a great opportunity to get lab experience while having the freedom to be creative, and we look forward to meeting the other teams at the jamboree!

Projects

  • Team 1: Split YFP

This project on fluorescence complementation involves the joining of two proteins, Jun and Fos, each fused to a half terminus of YFP. Both of these chimeric proteins were fused to a beta gene that codes for a membrane protein. Then, two cell populations - one expressing Jun-beta-YFPN and the other Fos-beta-YFPC - were combined, ideally resulting in the fusion of the Jun and Fos proteins on the cell membrane. The two halves of the YFP protein would bind as well, giving rise to fluorescence.

  • Team 2: Repressilator

Our project is based on the repressilator system coupled to quorum sensing as described by Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo, Michael B. Elowitz and Steven H. Strogatz in "Modeling a synthetic multicellular clock: Repressilators coupled by quorum sensing" (PNAS). We attempt to visualize the synchronization of the oscillatory phase between cells by the addition of the CFP reporter gene. We expand on this theory by placing cI under the control of pLac, hoping that this would assist in synchronizing the oscillations.
