It may be necessary to plan in detail how stuff is going to be assembled into the final DNA products...
+
-
 
+
-
The setup for our two systems are as follows:
+
-
 
+
-
* '''Phage display''': Promoter-RBS-Leader-Enzyme-pVIII
+
-
* '''Cell display''': Promoter-RBS-INP-Enzyme
+
-
 
+
-
Some notes from Chris:
+
-
 
+
-
# Check the annealing temperature of the portion without the non-complementary tail (as this is the only part that will anneal during the first round).
+
-
# Check preexisting BioBricks for BglII sites.
+
-
# We will have RFC10 reverse primers for the cellulases.
+
-
# It may not be necessary to have two different forward primers with and without start codon, since the start codon will just be interpreted as a methionine.
+
-
# It may not be necessary to have reverse primers with and without stop codons, as the stop codon can be supplied by the spacer.
+

==Primers actually made==
+
-
 
+
-
===malS (amylase)===
+
-
 
+
-
''malS'' ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/48994873?from=3735520&to=3737550&report=gbwithparts sequence]) is an amylase gene from ''E. coli''. It seems to be periplasmic, and for whatever reason does not cause noticable starch degradation, whether because of its location or its expression levels.
+
-
 
+
-
Using this as a test system would involve comparing the starch-degrading activity of the gene by itself, as compared to the relevant fusions.
+
-
 
+
-
The actual primers ordered are as follows:
+
-
 
+
-
* '''EcMalSf1''': ACT AGATCT gaa atc gca gca ata agg act c
+
-
** Forward; adds BglII site; starts upstream of gene to catch RBS ([http://heptamer.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/gb2/gbrowse/MG1655/?plugin=FastaDumper;q=NC_000913%3A3735491..3737550;plugin_action=Go see here]).
+
-
* '''EcMalSf2''': ACT AGATCT atg aaa ctc gcc gcc tgt ttt c
+
-
** Forward; adds BglII site; starts at start codon.
+
-
* '''EcMalSr1''': ACT ACTAGT A TTA tta ctg ttg ccc tgc cca g
+
-
** Reverse; adds SpeI site; RFC10 compliant; has double stop codon.
+
-
* '''EcMalSr2''': ACT ACTAGT ACC ctg ttg ccc tgc cca gac g
+
-
** Reverse; adds SpeI site; RFC23 and BioSandwich compliant; no stop codons, adds a glycine.
+
-
 
+
-
===bglX (B-glucosidase)===
+
-
 
+
-
''bglX'' ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/48994873?from=2217714&to=2220011&report=gbwithparts sequence, but gene is on reverse strand]) is a periplasmic Β-glucosidase from ''E. coli''. Again, it seems to not be expressed very strongly.
+
-
 
+
-
Note presence of PstI site in sequence; we could insert via BglII and SpeI. It would then be necessary to use [http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/Cfrench:MABEL MABEL] to remove the PstI site. Still, all of this may be unnecessary if <partinfo>BBa_K392008</partinfo> or something similar works...
+
-
 
+
-
The actual primers ordered are as follows:
+
-
 
+
-
* '''EcBglXf1''': ACT AGATCT gcc acg tcg ggc aac
+
-
** Forward; adds BglII site; starts upstream of gene to catch RBS.
+
-
* '''EcBglXf2''': ACT AGATCT atg aaa tgg cta tgt tca gta gg
+
-
** Forward; adds BglII site; starts at start codon.
+
-
* '''EcBglXr1''': ACT ACTAGT A TTA tta cag caa ctc aaa ctc gcc
+
-
** Reverse; RFC10 compliant; has double stop codon.
+
-
* '''EcBglXr2''': ACT ACTAGT ACC cag caa ctc aaa ctc gcc ttt c
+
-
** Reverse; adds SpeI site; RFC23 and BioSandwich compliant; no stop codons, adds a glycine.
+
-
 
+
-
===pVIII leader sequence===
+
-
 
+
-
The pVIII sequence is [[Team:Edinburgh/Sequences#pVIII|here]].
+
-
 
+
-
This part is intended to have '''stuff fused at its 3' (C-terminal) end'''.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''p8f_cfus''': ACT AGATCT atg aaa aag tct tta gtc c
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site, start codon present.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''p8r_cfus''': AAA ACTAGT ACC agc gaa aga cag cat cgg
+
-
** Reverse, adds a glycine, adds SpeI.
+
-
 
+
-
===pVIII mature protein===
+
-
 
+
-
The pVIII sequence is [[Team:Edinburgh/Sequences#pVIII|here]].
+
-
 
+
-
This part is intended to have '''stuff fused at its 5' (N-terminal) end'''.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''p8f_nfus''': ACT AGATCT gct gag ggt gac gat ccc gc
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''p8r_nfus''': AAA ACTAGT A tca gct tgc ttt cga ggt g
+
-
** Reverse, has stop codon, adds standard RFC10 suffix.
+
-
 
+
-
===BBa_K118023 / BBa_K392006 (Endoglucanase)===
+
-
 
+
-
'''This part contains a BglII site, so that will first have to be dealt with, using MABEL:'''
+
-
 
+
-
* '''cenAmutf1''': atc tcg cag cgg ctg gg
+
-
** Forward, perfect correspondance to sequence
+
-
 
+
-
* '''cenAmutr1''': ttg ctg gcc gta cgc ctt g
+
-
** Reverse, replaces CAG (glutamine) with CAA (glutamine).
+
-
 
+
-
We can then PCR the part itself. SignalP predicts a cleavage site between amino acids 31 and 32. The following primers fix that problem:
+
-
 
+
-
* '''cenAf_nosig''': ACT AGATCT ATG GCA CCA GGA tgc cgc gtc gac tac gcc gtc '''[Warning: strong secondary structure]'''
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site, adds start codon, starts at a.a. 32. but changes first three codons to avoid ''very strong'' primer secondary structure.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''cenAr_nostop''': AAA ACTAGT ACC cca cct ggc gtt gcg cg
+
-
** Reverse, no stop codon; adds a glycine, adds SpeI.
+
-
 
+
-
===BBa_K118022 / BBa_K392007 (Exoglucanase)===
+
-
 
+
-
The forward primer deletes the signal peptide.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''cexf_nosig''': ACT AGATCT ATG gcg acc acg ctc aag gag gc
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site, adds start codon, starts at a.a. 43.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''cexr_nostop''': AAA ACTAGT AGA gcc gac cgt gca ggg cgt gc
+
-
** Reverse, no stop codon; adds a serine, adds SpeI.
+
-
** (I was unable to add the usual glycine due to very strong secondary structure arising.)
+
-
 
+
-
===BBa_K392008 (B-glucosidase)===
+
-
 
+
-
The forward primer is slightly misnamed as there is no signal peptide predicted for this; the primer just starts at the CDS start.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''Cfbgluf_nosig''': ACT AGATCT ATG ggc gac cgg ttc cag cag gc
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site. Start codon.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''cfbglur_nostop''': AAA ACTAGT ACC ggg ctg gta ggt cgc ggc g
+
-
** Reverse, no stop codon; adds a glycine, adds SpeI.
+
-
 
+
-
===Xylose isomerase===
+
-
 
+
-
From the ''[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/148278?from=213&to=1535&report=gbwithparts xylA]'' gene of ''E. coli''. Designed for fusion to INP or expression on its own. We probably won't try for phage.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''EcxylAf1''': ACT AGATCT atg caa gcc tat ttt gac c
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site, has start codon.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''EcxylAr1''': AAA ACTAGT A TTA tta ttt gtc gaa cag ata atg g
+
-
** Reverse, adds 2nd stop codon, adds standard suffix.
+
-
 
+
-
==Primers in planning (amylase, mature peptide only)==
+
-
 
+
-
''malS'' is a periplasmic gene which has a signal peptide. In order to fuse it to INP, it may be necessary to isolate the mature protein sequence, which is [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/protein/CAA41740.1 claimed] to be amino acids 18-676; i.e. we would need to delete the first 51 bases in the DNA.
+
-
 
+
-
* ACT AGATCT gcc agc tgg act tct ccg gg
+
-
** Forward, adds SglII site.
+
-
 
+
-
==Primers in planning (bglX)==
+
-
 
+
-
===MABEL primers to destroy PstI site===
+
-
 
+
-
The BioBrick we made of ''bglX'' has a PstI site in it, rendering it illegal under RFC10. We can fix with MABEL:
+
-
 
+
-
* a cca gca ctg gcg gat g
+
-
** Forward, first base is a synonymous change (original was G)
+
-
 
+
-
* tg cag ggc cag act cac
+
-
** Reverse, perfect match to sequence
+
-
 
+
-
===Mature peptide only===
+
-
 
+
-
''bglX'' is a periplasmic gene which has a signal peptide. In order to fuse it to INP, it may be necessary to isolate the mature protein sequence, which SignalP predicts to be amino acids 21 onwards; i.e. we would need to delete the first 60 coding bases in the DNA.
+
-
 
+
-
* ACT AGATCT gat gat tta ttc ggc aac c
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site.
+
-
 
+
-
==Primers in planning (cellulases)==
+
-
 
+
-
The enzymes of interest will need start codons so they can be used as controls for assays, where we ask: do they work without the carrier?
+
-
 
+
-
When part of a display system, the different products will '''either be fused only at their 5' end (cell display), or at both ends (phage display)'''.
+
-
 
+
-
==Primers in planning (cell display)==
+
-
 
+
-
===BBa_K265008 (INP)===
+
-
 
+
-
Continuing on the assumption of '''BioSandwich''' assembly. Ice Nucleation Protein will be present at the start of the coding fusion. A promoter and RBS will have to be added upstream.
+
-
 
+
-
This part will have '''stuff fused at its 3' (C-terminal) end'''.
+
-
 
+
-
* ACT AGATCT atg acc ctg gat aaa gcg c
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site. Start codon is present.
+
-
 
+
-
* AAA ACTAGT ACC ttt cac ttc gat cca atc
+
-
** Reverse, no stop codon; adds a glycine, adds SpeI.
+
-
 
+
-
==Primers in planning (biorefinery)==
+
-
 
+
-
These things may be produced on their own (as a control) or fused to INP. We probably won't bother with fusion to phage? In any case, the unfused versions used as controls will need start codons.
+
-
 
+
-
===Aldose reductase===
+
-
 
+
-
From the [[Team:Edinburgh/Biorefineries#Sorbitol|reverse complement]] of [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/15594346?from=538328&to=539275&report=gbwithparts this sequence] which we can get from [http://www.straininfo.net/strains/149324/browser DSM 4680]. Might be problems with low GC content of gene. Some alternative strains that might be used instead:
+
-
 
+
-
* [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/159162017?from=1026949&to=1027815&report=gbwithparts ''Lactobacillus acidophilus'' NCFM]
+
-
* [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/209953764?from=197281&to=198111&report=gbwithparts ''Providencia alcalifaciens'' DSM 30120] (but BLAST says this is probably a 2,5-diketo-D-gluconate reductase)
+
-
* [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/224798838?from=118139&to=119005&report=gbwithparts ''Lactobacillus acidophilus'' ATCC 4796 == LMG 11470]
+
-
 
+
-
Primers for DSM 4680:
+
-
 
+
-
* ACT AGATCT gtg aat aat ctt aaa gac
+
-
** Forward, adds BglII site, has start codon (gtg).

+
-
** Reverse, adds 2nd stop codon, adds standard suffix.
+
-
 
+
-
==Primers in planning (GFP: green fluorescent protein)==
+
-
 
+
-
This can be PCR'd from <partinfo>BBa_E0040</partinfo> which is has been in the distribution forever. I assume we'll have some floating around the lab somewhere?
+
-
 
+
-
* ACT AGATCT atg cgt aaa gga gaa gaa c

-
** Reverse, no stop codon; adds a glycine, adds SpeI.
+
-
 
+
-
==Primers in planning (zippers)==
+
-
 
+
-
The GR1 and GR2 zippers may have applications in phage display. In both cases, stuff will be fused to both N and C terminals (see [[Team:Edinburgh/Phage_Reactors]]) so neither start nor stop codons are required.
+
-
 
+
-
===BBa_K415124 (GR1)===
+
-
 
+
-
It ought to be possible to PCR this out of <partinfo>BBa_K415151</partinfo>, which is in the latest DNA distribution. '''Note though that sequencing is claimed to be inconsistent.'''
+
