Construction of RSR+Leader Array

  • Gel results: Correct size for the RSR+Leader Array in the 6th well. Confirmed with [http://sequencing.biodesign.asu.edu/ DNASU] sequencing.

  • Sequencing verification showed a 99% base pair match for "Seq1" and the MG1655 leader sequence, confirming the successful assembly of the array


Isolation of Cas genes

  • CasABCDE was unsuccessful, though we came close:

  • Cas3 was moderately successful, but unconfirmed via sequencing:

Assembly of Leader+RSR into pRSF Duet

  • Assembled on 9/28/2011.

Poly-X Ligation

We devised a new assembly method, the Poly-X Ligation, for RSR construction and tested it on an RSR construct with GFP.

B. halodurans

Construction of RSR Array

  • We constructed a 1x Repeat-Spacer-Repeat array by ligating our "RA" (Spacer-Repeat) sequence to our "RB" (Repeat) sequence

Isolation of cmr genes

  • Our construct requires the isolation of 6 genes, Cmr1-6, that are all located on a single locus.
  • Gel results (CMR success):

Assembly into pRSF Duet

L. innocua

Construction of RSR Array

  • This construction of the RSR array involved the ligation of two customized BioBricks (sequences), which can be done simultaneously using this protocol.

Cas gene

  • The L. innocua CRISPR system utilizes three CRISPR-associated genes: Cas1, Cas2, and Cas9.
  • For our streamlined construct, we needed to isolate only Cas9, which is approximately 4kb in length.
  • We PCR amplified Cas9 with the adjacent trans-encoded CRIPSR RNA region (tracrRNA), which is necessary for the formation of mature CRISPR RNA.

Assembly into pRSF Duet

  • Cas9+tracrRNA array has been ligated into pRSF Duet

Other

  • Construction of constitutive GFP plasmid by ligation of Bba_E0840 with Bba_(promoter)
  • Success was marked by green colonies
