Plasmid Miniprep, measure of DNA, restriction digest
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| name of plasmid | pLL3-HRP |
| zeocin resistance gene | allows for selection and maintenance of plasmid in bacteria and yeast |
| 5'AOX1 sequence | harbor methanol-inducible promoter of alcohol oxidase gene, turns on HRP expression in pichia pastoris (yeast) - this is off in e. coli |
| when will HRP be expressed | if yeast is grown in methanol |
| restriction enzyme | Mss1; linearizes plasmid |
| what does 7x lysis buffer made of? do? | NaoH + SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) |
| Neutralization buffer | made of potassium acetate and SDS traps yellow pellet while plasmid DNA reanneals in liquid |
| 2 washes: Endo and Zyppy | endotoxin removal = Endo salt removal = Zyppy |
| Zyppy elution | plasmid released from silica column due to low salt, high pH |
| what is the foreign protein to be expressed? | horseradish peroxidase |
| what does zeocin do? | kills e. coli and p. pastoris cells by causing double stranded breaks in DNA |
| what does SDS do | sodium dodecyl sulfate. denatures proteins. |
| what does NaOH do | it denatures plasmid DNA |
| 1.0 OD 260 = | 50 micrograms/mL of DNA |
| A260/A280 | should be greater than 1.7 to get pure DNA |
