Well... quite a bit of work ;) I'm not sure how far I get now, because I have to get to work ...


1. You would need a source for your DNA, a donor. By searching the ncbi for the key enzymes (you would need to search for all the different synonyms) and filter by organisms, which would be available in your lab.


2. Design primers - yeah thats quite a bit, I can not design you any primers with no ORF. Primer design is "simple as fuck" as I ve learned here in the Nexus. ... But for noobs in short: You need two primers. One forward, one reverse. For the forward you copypaste the lets say first twenty bp from the start point (AUG). Check for equal ammounts of g,c,t,a's. You would add in front of the sequence a restriction recognition site, lets say SacI (GAGCTC). Of course you must check for the SacI within the ORF, because when it is present, that would suck ;) For beginners its wise to add 2-3 bp more, as polymerases are bastards. Calculate melting temp!

For reverse, copypaste last 20 bp form end, invert them, add other restriction site [e.g PstI(CTGCAG), check for restriction site presence within ORF, add few bp for good luck.


example: ORFX:   auggcta....................gctagtg



fw:    ct(GAGCTC)auggcta......


rev: CGATCACCTGCAGga


Sorry if Im talking bullshit, but as mentioned before Im in a hurry ;)



2. Order primers


3. Isolate DNA


4. PCR: 50µl Pfu batch, 37x/mt°C-5°C/(1kb/1.2min)


5. Recover DNA over gelelectrophoresis


6. 20µl Taq batch witn dATPs, "a-tailing" 72°C, 15min


7. Ligate into subvector, e.g. pGEM-Teasy


8. Transform E.coli, let grow overnight


10. Screen via b/w and antibiotic resistance


11. Prepare 2mL cultures of different colonies, let grow over night, dont forget antibiotic


12. Miniprep


13. Control for positive plasmids via restriction double digest, one cut within ORF one in vector


14. If postive, excise ORF from subvector via SacI/PstI, recover fragment of interest via gelelectrophoresis


15. Ligate ORF in expressionvector


16. Transform E. coli. let grow overnight


17. Prepare 2mL cultures for overnight growth (antibiotics!)


18. MAXIprep or very good miniprep, as most expression vectors ar lowcopy plasmids


19. Check via restrictiondigest, when positive prepare glycostocks for permanent storage at -80°C


20. Prepare a 200ml culture with additional 50mg of l-tryptophane of positive colony. Let grow to an OD600 of about 0,5 and induce vector with IPTG and then let grow at 28°C overnight (antibiotics).


21. Extract similar to MHRB, but shorter


22. Run extract over TLC with a DMT reference


23. Run extract over GC-MS with a DMT ref.



[USER=769]@Infundibulum[/USER]: as mentioned, im in a hurry... off to work now.in this theoretical approach might be errors and you are welcome to correct and ask for further details - but need to wait couple of hours for the answer....hope it is not to exhautively? im not sure how much detail you were expecting
