Transformation of Single Step (KRX) Competent Cells by Promega
using [http://www.promega.com/~/media/Files/Resources/Protocols/Technical%20Bulletins/101/Single%20Step%20Competent%20Cells%20Protocol.ashx protocol for E. coli KRX single step competent cells by Promega]
- Remove Single Step (KRX) Competent Cells from –70 °C, and place on ice for 5 minutes or until just thawed.
- Add 1–50 ng of DNA (in a volume not greater than 5 μL) to the Single Step (KRX) Competent Cells. Move the pipette tip through the cells while dispensing. Quickly flick the tube several times. Do not vortex!
- Immediately return the tubes to ice for 5–30 minutes
- Heat-shock cells for 15–20 seconds in a water bath at exactly 42 °C. Do not shake.
- Immediately place the tubes on ice for 2 minutes.
- Add 450 μL of room-temperature SOC medium to each transformation reaction, and incubate for 60 minutes at 37 °C with shaking (approximately 225 rpm). For best transformation efficiency, lay the tubes on their sides and tape them to the platform.
- For each transformation reaction, we recommend plating 100 μL of undiluted cells and 1:10 and 1:100 cell dilutions on antibiotic plates. Incubate the plates at 37 °C overnight.
Standard BioBrick Assembly
modified from [http://openwetware.org/wiki/Silver:_BB_Strategy Silver lab]:
This assembly method can be used for BioBricks which are bigger than 150 bp. The BioBrick should be at least 500 bp bigger or smaller than the backbone. The BioBrick, which complies with these conditions, is used as the insert and is assembled into the prefix or suffix of the other used BioBrick, called vector. So you have to differentiate between a prefix and a suffix insertion.
Suffix Insertion
- Digestion of insert: at least 700 ng DNA / 10 µL volume, 1 µL 10x Tango buffer, 0.5 µL XbaI, 1 µL PstI. Digest for 2 h at 37 °C, afterwards inactivation for 20 min at 80 °C. Clean up the insert via gel electrophoresis. When cutting the insert out of the gel try to avoid staining or exposure to ultraviolet light of the insert.
- Digestion of vector about 700 ng DNA / 10 µL volume, 1 µL 10x orange buffer, 0.5 µL SpeI, 0.5 µL PstI. Digest for 2 h at 37 °C, afterwards inactivation for 20 min at 80 °C. Add 1 µL SAP (shrimp alcaline phosphatase) and 1.2 µL 10 x SAP buffer, incubate for 1 h at 37 °C. Clean up the vector with a PCR clean-up kit.
- Ligation: after digestion and clean-up: 50 - 200 ng of vector, 3 - 10 fold molar access of insert, 20 µL ligation volume, 2 µL T4-Ligase-Buffer, 1 µL T4-Ligase. Incubate for 20 - 30 min at room temperature, afterwards inactivation for 5 min at 70 °C. Then: store at -20 °C or transform.
Prefix Insertion
- Digestion of insert: at least 700 ng DNA / 10 µL volume, 1 µL 10x BamHI buffer, 0.5 µL EcoRI, 0.5 µL SpeI. Digest for 2 h at 37 °C, afterwards inactivation for 20 min at 80 °C. Clean up the insert via gel electrophoresis. When cutting the insert out of the gel try to avoid staining or exposure to ultraviolet light of the insert.
- Digestion of vector about 700 ng DNA / 10 µL volume, 1 µL 10 x Tango buffer, 0.5 µL EcoRI, 0.5 µL XbaI. Digest for 2h at 37 °C, afterwards inactivation for 20 min at 80 °C. Add 1 µL SAP (shrimp alcaline phosphatase) and 1.2 µL 10 x SAP buffer, incubate for 1 h at 37 °C. Clean up the vector with a PCR clean-up kit.

Variations
- A digestion over night is possible. If you digest over night use only 0.1 µL restriction enzyme.
- It is also possible to use PCR product as insert. Digest after PCR with corresponding restriction enzymes and clean up with PCR clean-up kit. This could lead to higher yields of insert DNA because a lot of DNA gets lost during the gel electrophoresis clean up.
- Sometimes some BioBricks are hard to assemble. Then you have to clean up the vector by gel electrophoresis as well.

Gibson assembly
This assembly method is an isothermal, single-reaction method for assembling multiple overlapping DNA molecules. By coordinating the activity of a 5‘ exonuclease, a DNA polymerase and a DNA ligase two adjacent DNA fragments with complementary terminal sequence overlaps can be joined into a covalently sealed molecule, without the use of any restriction endonuclease.
Preparation of DNA molecules for in vitro recombination
- Generate the complementary sequence overlaps by PCR using the Phusion DNA-polymerase. If necessary add 5 M Betain in the reaction mix by reducing the amount of H2O to decrease the number of false PCR products.
- Identify the PCR pruducts of interest by gel electrophoresis with known DNA standards.
- Extract the PCR products from the gel by cutting the DNA fragment out and clean them up by using a commercial clean up kit.
In vitro recombination
- assembly mixture (6 mL)
- 320 µL 5x isothermal reaction buffer
- 0.64 µL of 10 U ml–1 T5 exonuclease (for DNA molecules overlapping by greater than 150 bp add 3.2 µL of 10 U ml–1 T5 exonuclease)
- 20 µL of 2 U mL–1 Phusion DNA polymerase
- 160 µL of 40 U ml–1 Taq DNA ligase
- add ddH2O water up to a final volume of 1.2 ml
- aliquote 15 µL of the reagent-enzyme mix and store it at –20˚C
- Thaw 15 µL assembly mixture aliquot and keep it on ice until use.
- Add 5 µL of the purified DNA molecules in equimolar amounts (between 10 and 100 ng of each DNA fragment).
- Incubate the resulting mixture at 50 ˚C for 15 to 60 min, with 60 min being optimal.
- Transformation (heatshock or electroporation) without cleaning up the assembly product.
Restriction analysis
- Digest BioBrick of interest: about 400 ng DNA / 10 µL volume, 1 µL 10x orange buffer, 0.5 µL NotI or PstI. Digest for 2 h at 37 °C. NotI is used to determine the length of the BioBrick and the plasmid backbone, PstI ist used to determine the length of the BioBrick in the plasmid backbone.
- Gel electrophoresis: add 2 µL loading buffer to every digestion mix, apply about 100 - 200 ng DNA / pocket in gel. Don't forget to apply the uncut BioBrick as well. A good agarose concentration for BioBricks between 0.2 and 3 kb is 1.5 %. The smaller your BioBrick of interest is the higher the agarose concentration should be and vice versa. The gel electrophoresis is made with TAE-buffer. Be sure that you melt your agarose gel in the same buffer you use for the electrophoresis later.
Colony PCR
- Pick one colony with a sterile tip and elute it in 100 µL ddH20 or medium
- Store the colony in 4 °C while colony PCR is running
- One reaction mix contains:
- 10 µL 5x buffer
- 2 µL MgCl2 (25 mM stock)
- 1 µL dNTPs
- 0.5 µL primer mix (prefix/suffix primers or sequencing primers)
- 35.25 µL ddH2O
- 0.25 µL GoTaq polymerase (Promega)
- 1 µL template
- PCR program:
- Start: 3 min, 98 °C
- 30 cycles of:
- 30 s, 98 °C
- 30 s, 55 °C
- 30 s / 1 kb template, 72 °C
- Finish: 5 min, 72 °C
- Gel electrophoresis: check the fragment size
- Plate the correct colony
Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)
This analytical Method can be used for separation and identification of proteins according to their electrophoretic mobility. The mobility is a function of length of the molecular weight. Proteins that have identical charge per unit mass due to binding of SDS results in an equal electrophoretic mobility.
Pouring the polyacrylamide gel
- Make a master mix for the stacking and separating gel without adding ammonium persulfate and TEMED.
- Aliquote 6,5 mL for each separating and 2,5 mL for each stacking gel.
- Add ammonium persulfate and TEMED to each separating gel aliquote and pour the solution quickly into your gel casting form. Leave about 2 centimeters below the bottom of the comb for the stacking gel.
- Layer isopropanol on top of the gel.
- Leave the separating gel at room temperature for >60 minutes to polymerize.
- Remove isopropanol and wait until the surface is dry.
- Add ammonium persulfate and TEMED to each separating gel aliquote and pour the solution quickly into your gel casting form.
- Insert comb without getting bubbles stuck underneath
- Leave the gel at room temperature for >60 minutes to polymerize.
- For storage
- Remove sealing and store the gel wrapped in moistened paper towel at 4°C.
Preparing the sample
- Mix you protein 4:1 with Laemmli-buffer(30 mL proteinsolution + 10 mL Laemmli-buffer)
- heat for 5 minutes at 95 °C.
Running the gel
- Remove sealing, put the polymerized gel into gel box and pour SDS running buffer into the negative and positive electrode chamber.
- Remove comp without destroying the gel pocket.
- Pipet the sample into the gel pockets, adjusting the volume according to the amount of protein in your sample. Make sure to include a lane with molecular weight standards (PageRuler Prestained Protein Ladder™ (Fa. Fermentas)) to determinate the molecular weight of your sample.
- Connect the power lead and run the stacking gel with 10 mA until the blue dye front enters the separating gel.
- Raise amperage up to 20 mA for running the separating gel.
- When the distance of the lowest molecular weight standard lane to the gel end is down to 0,5 cm stop the electrophoresis by turning off the power supply.
Bisphenol A analysis
Extraction with ethylacetate
- mix 100 µL culture supernatant with 100 µL internal standard ( bisphenol F, 100 µg L-1)
- add 200 µL ethylacetate (HPLC grade) for extraction
- vortex (30 s)
- centrifuge for phase separation (5 min, 5000 g)
- take a bit from upper phase and put it in a clean eppi
- SpeedVac at 40 °C to remove ethlyacetate
- solve remaining BPA in water (HPLC grade), vortex (30 s)
- solubility of BPA in water only 300 mg L-1
- for LC-MS analysis of BPA, 300 mg BPA L-1 is definitely enough
- if you want to detect or expect higher concentrations of BPA, solve it in an acetonitrile-water-mix
HPLC method
- C18 reverse phase column
- gradient starting with 45 % acetonitrile up to 95 % acetonitrile
NAD+ detection
For the [http://www.molecular-beacons.com/MB_SC_design.html design of Molecular Beacons] different available tools may help you so that a correct functionality is ensured under defined assay conditions. All measurements were made in the NAD+ bioassay buffer.
Characterisation of Molecular Beacons
Preferentially, use a complementary oligonucleotide (target) as well as two enshortened oligonucleotides (split target) for [http://www.molecular-beacons.com/MB_SC_protocol.html#cap3 characterising the Molecular Beacon] in its closed and open state. In this way you can verify simultaneously the ineffectiveness of the split target to reach the Molecular Beacon`s open state.
- Optimal wavelengths:
- Determine the emission spectrum of your Molecular Beacon by initially using a literature value for the exctintion wavelength of the labeled fluorophore. For this add 10 µL of 1 µM Molecular Beacon in 200 µL NAD+ bioassay buffer, mix thoroughly and wait 2 min until measuring the fluorescence with a spectrofluorometer at an defined temperature (optimally 37 °C) .
- Add 10 µL of 2 µM either target or split target and shake at least 6 min until measuring the fluorescence again (when equilibrium is reached).
- Repeat the procedure to determine the extinction spectrum using the self-calculated optimal emission wavelength for your fluorophore/quencher combination. For further fluorescence measurements use the extinction wavelength for which the difference between the Molecular Beacons's closed state and the open state signals is maximal.
- Thermal profile analysis:
- Prepare a 30 µL reaction mix composed of NAD+ bioassay buffer and 1 µM Molecular Beacon. In a separate sample add 2 µM either target or split target.
- Use a spectrofluorometric thermal cylcer to dertemine the fluorescence as a function of temperature. Start at 80 °C and decrease the temperature stepwise in 1 °C intervals holding each temperature for 1 min and measuring the fluorescence at the end of each step.
- Signal-to-background ratio (S/B):
- The approach is quite similar to the one that determines the optimal wavelengths which should be used to monitor the fluorescence of the NAD+ bioassay buffer (Fbuffer) and the added Molecular Beacon (Fclosed) as well as the target (Fopen) or split target. Monitor the fluorescence until the equilibrium is reached each time before you add a new component.
- The signal-to-background ratio can be calculated as shown on the right. Finally, compare the signal-to-background ratios after adding the target and split target to check whether the split target has an effect on the melting of the Molecular Beacon's hairpin structure.
- Imaging:
- Prepare a 200 µL reaction mix composed of NAD+ bioassay buffer and 500 nM Molecular Beacon in a PCR tube. In a separate sample add 600 µM either target or split target. Excitate the samples by a UV transilluminator and take images preferably with a camera that can detect different colours.
