Procedure and Results
In order to construct the two modules of the epigenetic toogle switch, we have used tools like the plasmids pF6a-MX6-Kan-Purg-GFP and pREP41X already available. These plasmids will be modified to introduce into them the epigenetic control elements. For further information, please read Epigenetic Flip Flop Notebook.
[Figure 1]. The assembly process of the reporter module involved two cloning steps: first, insertion of adh1 transcriptional terminator plus two tetracycline repeats (Tadh1-tetO2) upstream of urg1 promoter, using the BglII restriction site, and second, insertion of the reporter gene plus T adh1 plus four tetracycline repeats plus actin transcriptional terminator (GFP-Tadh1-tetO4-Tact1) downstream of urg1 promoter, using PacI/AscI sites. The composite parts were obtained by a DNA synthesis.
[Figure 2]. The assembly process of compaction module involved a single cloning step. The three optional engineered silencing proteins will be cloned in the polylinker of pREP41X (nmt41 promoter and nmt1 terminator), using the restriction sites XhoI and XmaI/SmaI. The insert containing tetracycline repressor plus chromoshadow domain of Swi6 (TetR-CSD) was obtained by DNA synthesis, and the inserts containing tetracycline repressor fussed either to sir3 or swi6 were amplified by PCR in the laboratory using pPR013 (Dr Attila Becskei Lab, Univertity of Zurich) and genomic DNA of S. pombe as templates.
By the wiki freeze:
- The reporter module has already been constructed. This construction will be amplified with special primers and integrated into leu1 locus of S. pombe by homologous recombination, and also it will be stochactically integrated in the genome.
- The compaction module tetR-CSD is cloned into the pREP41X plasmid, and will be transformed into the strain generated that contains the reporter module. The Sir3 and Swi6 fragments have been obtained by PCR and we are now cloning them into the pREP41X plasmid, fussed to tetR.
