Gibson Assembly of Gene of Interest Plasmid
Goal:
Construction of the Gene of Interest Plasmid
Protocols Used:
Nanodrop DNA quantification , Plasmid Isolation , Phusion PCR , Restriction Digestion ,
E.coli Heat Shock Transformation , KOD Extreme PCR , Colony Polymerase PCR (GoTaq) , E. coli Glycerol Stock ,
Gibson Assembly ,
DNA Gel Purification ,
DNA Gel Electrophoresis
Plan:
The plasmid we had contained OriL and OriR flanking GFP. We wanted to clone a kanamycin gene inside this to use as a selection marker.
Results:
There were no plates with colonies, therefore Gibson Assembly has not work.
Gibson Assembly of Support Plasmid
Goal:
Construction of the Support Plasmid
Protocols Used:
Nanodrop DNA quantification , Plasmid Isolation , Phusion PCR , Restriction Digestion ,
E.coli Heat Shock Transformation , KOD Extreme PCR , Colony Polymerase PCR (GoTaq) , E. coli Glycerol Stock ,
Gibson Assembly ,
DNA Gel Purification ,
DNA Gel Electrophoresis
Plan:
We had two different plasmids. One plasmid with p5 and p6 on it and one plasmid with phi 29 DNAP and phi 29 TP. We wanted to put this on one plasmid through Gibson Assembly
Results:
There were no plates with colonies, therefore Gibson Assembly has not work.

Brute Force Experiments 1
Goal:
Putting all separate plasmids in and see what survives
Protocols Used:
Transformation ,
IPTG stock ,
Plan:
As construction of the plasmids did not work, we just wanted to put all the separate constructs in, to see whether something would grow or not. We induced it with no IPTG, 10 µM IPTG and 50 µM IPTG. We put in the following constructs:
p02+p04+oriL-GFP-oriR
p02+oriL-GFP-oriR
oriL-GFP-oriR
p01+p02+p04
Results:
Some plates grew, some not. No conclusive result.

Toxicity Experiments 2
Goal:
Determinig what parts are toxic to the cell
Protocols Used:
E.coli Heat Shock Transformation ,
OD600 Measurement ,
IPTG stock ,
Plan:
To determine which plasmids were toxic, we put transformed the plasmids separately in BL21 pLysS and set an overnight measurement to measure OD600 to see if the cells were alive.

Characterization of Level 1's
Goal:
Add characterization for the parts page and see if the different promoters strength are visible
Protocols Used:
PURE System ,
Protein Gel ,
Mass Spectrometry ,
Plan:
The following constructs were added to the PURE system and then run on a protein gel:
0.1 T7 p - U RBS - DNAP - WT
0.5 T7 p - U RBS - DNAP - WT
WT T7 p - U RBS - DNAP - WT
0.1 T7 p - U RBS - TP - WT
0.5 T7 p - U RBS - TP - WT
WT T7 p - U RBS - TP - WT
0.1 T7 p - U RBS - p5 - WT
0.5 T7 p - U RBS - p5 - WT
WT T7 p - U RBS - p5 - WT
0.1 T7 p - U RBS - p6 - WT
0.5 T7 p - U RBS - p6 - WT
WT T7 p - U RBS - p6 - WT
After this, a remainder of the sample was analyzed with Mass Spectrometry.

Brute Force Experiments 2
Goal:
Putting all the needed components for orthogonal replication and see which cells replicate
Protocols Used:
Transformation ,
IPTG stock ,
Plan:
To test whether orthogonal replication works in vivo, we transformed all the plasmid with the components needed in pLysS together with a final construct, which is either OriL-Kan-OriR or OriL-GFP-Kan-OriR. This was done with different IPTG concentrations.
oriL-Kan-OriR with
WT T7p TP, DNAP, p5, p6
0.5 T7p TP, DNAP, p5, p6
0.1 T7p TP, DNAP, p5, p6
oriL-GFP-Kan-OriR
WT T7p TP, DNAP, p5, p6
0.5 T7p TP, DNAP, p5, p6
0.1 T7p TP, DNAP, p5, p6
