- Ligate I12006 and UT4
Contents |
October 11, 2006
Long-Term Goals: - Once the mini-preps of the correct lengths are obtained, retest UT2/UT3 with increasing IPTG to repeat previous experiment (if successful, take pictures) - Need to test to see if arabinose is having deleterious effects on fluorescence o DH5a auto-fluorescence vs. [Arabinose] o Consider using a tetR promoter instead of pBad/araC - Do an Arabinose and IPTG surface response test to find optimal concentrations - NOTE: try not to overgrow the cells – signal seems to saturate quickly
To-Do List:
- Digest I12006 H (2005) and I12006 AB (2006) with XbaI/SpeI and check lengths
- Transform cells with I12006 AB (2005)
- Transform cells with UT1 AB, UT2 EF, UT4 AB
- Try to find the UT4 used to make a measurement (that was successful)
- Digest I12006 AB (2005) with SpeI/PstI
- Ligate I12006 AB (2005) and E0240 (purified DNA from Oct4)
Long-Term Goals:
- Once the mini-preps of the correct lengths are obtained, retest UT2/UT3 with increasing IPTG to repeat previous experiment (if successful, take pictures)

Cheng:
- Prepared DH5a-z1 UT2 for IPTG induction of GFP
Conrad:
- Re-test UT4C, UT5 ABC and I12006 EFG (2005) with XbaI/SpeI
- Miniprep UT2/3 in DH5a

- UT5 ABC (3500-4000, 750-1000)
- UT4 C (3000-3500)
- UT3 DH5a (750-1000, 2000-2500)
- UT2 DH5a (750-1000, 2000-2500)

October 6, 2006
Andy, HoKwon:
- Prepared o/n (3 vials each) of DH5a and DH5a-z1 with UT2 and UT3 for testing
- Prepared o/n of UT2 DH5a and UT3 DH5a for miniprep
- Transformed and plated I12006 (2005) (poured in amp plate first by accident), I12006 (2006)
- Double Digest parts E0240 CD (2005), UT4 AB with XbaI/SpeI
- E0240 CD (2000-2500, 750-1000) Correct!
- UT4 AB (3000-4000) Correct!
Charles, Cheng, Nick:
- Re-tested UT4 C, UT5 ABC – failed due to a very dry gel

- UT4 AB (3000-4000, 2000) C (3000-4000, 250)
- UT5 ABC (2500-3000, 750-1000)
- Digested following
- I12006 (2005) E (6000 by SpeI and PstI)
- E0240 (2005) C (2500-3000, 2000-2500, 1500-2000, 750-1000 by XbaI and PstI)
- UT4 AB (6000-10000, 2000-2500 by SpeI and PstI) C (5000-6000, 3000 by SpeI and PstI)
- UT5 ABC (3000-4000 by SpeI and PstI)
- Gel extracted E0240 (insert) and UT4 AB (host)
- Transformed and plated DH5a with UT2/UT3 for testing
- Made o/n of UT2/UT3 with IPTG
To-Do:
- Redo transformation of I12006 (2005)
- Learn to take fluorescent images under microscope
- Temperature testing
- Try ligating UT5 again
- Running out of water and PCR tubes
