July 17th - July 23rd

Sunday

Lab work done by: Alyssa Henning & Bill Jo

• Successfully miniprepped 1 sample of GFP + avitag (the second sample got messed up)
• Ran a gel on the RFP that was PCRed on Saturday. We also cut out the bands.
• Sean will innoculate 6 tubes of GFP-containing bacteria--1 tube for us, and 5 tubes for CURIE.

Monday

Lab work done by: Charlie Chung & Youjin Cho

• Gel purified 2 RFP PCR samples from Friday.
• Miniprepped 2 samples of GFP + avitag.

Tuesday

Lab Work Done By: James Mathew

• Submitted GFP+avitag genes for synthesis
• Submitted pZE-12 backbone for subcloning of light sensor

Wednesday

Lab Work Done By: James Mathew

• Set up ligation reaction of pZE-12 backbone with the primer dimer insert.

1. Digestion of Backbone

- 26 ul Backbone plasmid = 2 ug DNA

- 5 ul Buffer #4 (optimal for SphI-HF and ClaI-HF)

- 1 ul SphI & 1 ul ClaI

- 16.5 ul H20

• left in water bath for one hour

- 1 ul CIAP added to digestion reaction

• left in water bath for 30 minutes

2. Ran Digestion Product through gel for 30 minutes at 120 V.

Lane 1: 2 ul 1kb Ladder + 2 ul 6X Dye + 8 ul H20

Lane 2: 25 ul digestion reaction + 5 ul 6X Dye

Lane 3: 25 ul digestion reaction + 5 ul 6X Dye

3. Gel Purification using Qiagen Kit

4. NanoDrop of Samples

Concentration:

Label:

5. Ligation Reaction

Label:

• Ligation done overnight for transformation on 7/21/11

Thursday

Lab work done by: James Mathew

• miniprepped Vio operon (Cambridge 2009)

Lab work done by: Youjin Cho, Charlie Chung, and Alyssa Henning

• Reconstituted VioA, VioB, and VioE forward and reverse primers
• Set up PCR for VioA, VioB, and VioE
• Aborted transformation of pZE-12 plasmid + avitag primer dimer because reverse primers for avitag were incorrect.
• Redesigned reverse primers for avitag to order on Friday

Friday

Lab work done by: James Mathew & Claire Paduano

• PCR gel purification of VioA, VioB, and VioE

Saturday

Lab work done by: James Mathew & Claire Paduano

• Digestion of VioA, VioB, VioE, GFP, and RFP in preparation for ligation with corrected backbone and avitag primer dimer
