Cell Surface Targeting 8/7/06
Progress/agenda • Streptavidin BioBricks • Sequencing for QuikChange-mutagenized single-chain dimer streptavidin showed 141bp deletion #394-534 • Performed QuikChange mutagenesis on SCD streptavidin clones originally received in pET22 vector. Received new streptavidin clone (pTSA13) from Dr. Takeshi Sano • Plan to extract mutagenized clones and pTSA13 by PCR • Lpp-OmpA assembly with streptavidin • Ligations have been unsuccessful, possibly due to attempted use of NEB T4 DNA Ligase when the Roche Rapid DNA Ligase ran out. Also received two Lpp-OmpA constructs from Georgiou lab. • Plans to retry ligations with new Rapid DNA ligase kit, and BioBrick-PCR Georgiou constructs • B0032 (ribosome binding site BioBrick) • Transformed and confirmed DNA sequence • Plans to ligate R0010 (Lac promoter) and B0032 upstream of Lpp-OmpA-Strep

Larger weight of A35 (=S35+T35) may be factor.

What’s next • Ordered fluorescently labeled aptamers; will try nitrocellulose filter assay • Order new designs with/without fluorophores. • Retry streptavidin-agarose bead assay with full adaptamers; maybe even see if thrombin can bind together • FRET experiment? • Design Biacore experiment.
