Gene replacement

• target gene: yfaL

Materials

• Plasmids
  • pKD46, pKD13, pCP20 - see this link

• Target gene
  • yfaL
    • an AmpR and CmR plasmid that shows temperature-sensitive replication and thermal induction of FLP synthesis (Datsenko and Wanner paper [1])

• Reagents
  • L-arabinose
    • Lambda red recombinase pBAD promoter inducer
• Equipment
  • Incubators (30°C and 37°C)
  • Electroporator

Procedure

• Preparation of plasmids

1. Grow up pKD46, pKD13, and pCP20 in proper host strains
2. Perform minipreps to extract plasmids

• Transformation of pKD46 to target strain
  • Preparation of competent cells
    • Using the protocol of TSS method - TSS method.
    • Target strain - BW25113, Top10

• Generation of cassette flanked by homologous arms
  • Design of primers
  • PCR condition

• Making competent cells

1. Pick the single colony containg pKD46.
2. Inoculate it to 5㎖ LB broth with ampicilline and L-arabinose.
   • L-arabinose final concentration is 1mM.
3. Incubate at 27℃, 180rpm until the culture OD reaches 0.6.
4. Centrifuge 3600rpm, for 5min at 4℃.
5. Wash with ice-cold 10% glycerol 3 times.
6. Concetrate 100-fold.

• Electroporation

1. Use 30㎕ competent cell and 300ng PCR product.
2. Pulse 2.5kV, 200Ω, 25㎌.
3. Add prewarmed 1㎖ LB broth immediately.
4. Incubate 2 hour at 37℃.
5. Spread one-tenth of the sample and incubate at 37℃.
