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.
 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
 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

 Gel Purification using Qiagen Kit

 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
