Multiplexed Construct Generation Classical Restriction Enzyme / Ligation cloning
Gateway Recombinational Cloning Recombinational Cloning - efficient, fast, less steps - extensive Gateway libraries - avoid ligation - high efficiency or avoid colony PCR Using the existing destination vectors and libraries of cloned ORFs 15 extraneous N-term amino acids + HexaHis - 8 from AttB site - 7 from Invitrogen constuction Can affect with solubility and complicate structure determination Engineer in protease cleavage site - Adds PCR steps - Cannot go straight from available Gateway ORF Libraries - Efficiency of cleavage - Additional steps in purification - Added complexity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
MJ Minimal Media for Isotope Enrichment Jansson, M.; Li, Y.-C.; Jendeberg, L.; Anderson, S.; Montelione, G.T.; Nilsson, B. J. Biomol. NMR 1996, 7: 131 - 141. High level production of uniformly 15N- and 13C-enriched fusion proteins in Escherichia coli. Works well when growing bacteria in 95% 2H2O Works well for SeMet labeling when supplemented with amino acids to suppress metabolic shuffling

Concentrating Inserts Lyophilization Resuspend at high concentration in H2O Concentration of inserts (cleaved, purified PCR products of the ORFS) is critical for ligation process. - Low conc. from Qiaquick purification - Possible buffer effects (high pH for elution) Manual cloning - concentration by ethanol precipitation greatly improved ligation efficiency - concentration - further purification Tried volatile buffer to elute from Qiaquick - poor results. Desalt by Size Exclusion using 96-well “Big Dye” removal plates Low volume, salt free, high concentration DNA inserts
