1. We carried out agarose gel electrophoresis to detect the PCR products.
2. We transformed E. coli XL-1 blue with the plasmid pUAST-flag.


Results

1. Image of the agarose gel.


Lane 1;size marker(1 kbp ladder)
Lane 2;the amplified API2-MALT1 cDNA fragment
Lane 3;the amplified DIAP2 cDNA fragment
Sizes of the fragments were different from the expected sizes.


2. The transformed bacterial colonies were detected.

1. I have repeated the PCR reactions to amplify API2-MALT1 cDNA and DIAP2 cDNA under the same conditions as those carried out on 8th, August.
2. I picked up the colonies and grew them in liquid culture.


Results

2. I have successfully grown the transformed bacteria.

1. Amounts of the isolated plasmid DNA samples were quantified by measuring the absorbance at OD260.
2. We grew the transformed bacteria (25 ml x 2) and the plasmid pUAST-flag DNA was isolated by Midi-prep (Invitrogen).


Results

1. The absorbance at OD260 of two independent plasmid DNA samples are shown in Table 1.


Table 1 (OD260)
sample 1
0.1890.2080.1920.1900.191
Average value was 0.194.
Concentration of DNA was 0.970 µg/µl.


sample 2
0.2820.2760.2780.2690.269
Average value was 0.275.
Concentration of DNA was 1.37 µg/µl.


2. Image of the agarose gel.


Lane 1: DNA size marker (1Kb ladder)
Lane 6: sample 1
Lane 7: sample 2
Lane 8: The authentic pUAST-flag vector
DNAs from samples 1 and 2 migrated to the same positions as the pUAST-flag.

We have tried different Annealing conditions to amplify API2-MALT1 cDNA and DIAP2 cDNA. The other conditions for the PCR reactions were same as those carried out on 8th, August.
API2-MALT1
Anneling58.9°C
DIAP2
Anneling53°C
PCR products were applied to the agarose gel electrophoresis.


Results

Image of the agarose gel.


Lane 1;DNA size marker(1 Kbp ladder)
Lane 2;API2-MALT1 cDNA
Lane 3;DIAP2 cDNA
Size of the amplified fragments for API2-MALT1was different from the expected size and multiple DNA fragments were detected for the DIAP2.

The restriction enzyme-digested PCR fragments and pUAST-flag DNA were extracted from the agarose gel by [http://www.qiagen.com/products/dnacleanup/gelpcrsicleanupsystems/qiaquickgelextractionkit.aspx QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit].


Results

Image of agarose gel after DNA fragment isolation.


The amount of the purified pUAST-flag vector was 45.0375 ng/µl.
PCR products for DIAP2 Was not successfully recovered from the agarose gel.
