GFP pJV861-9 cloning Name : Yao Shi Supervisor : Professor E. Gerhart H. Wagner
Introduction • Antisense small RNAs(sRNAs) are a class of regulators of gene expression that act on target RNAs via sequence complementarity. • Genome-wide searches conducted in recent years have uncovered ~70 sRNAs encoded by the chromosome of the enterobacterium Escherichia coli alone.
Introduction • Johan Reimegard made a Genome-wide search of the possible sRNA targets in Escherichia coli and selected some of them to be tested and ompA, ompA-long-, ompF are three of them.

Summary After a flow- minipreparation of the plasmid, PCR amplification the target mRNA fragments, cleavage of the plasmid and fragments, ligation and transformation, I finally got some colonies with ompA and ompF insertion. Only after sequencing, could I make a conclusion that I got the colonies with the right insertion.
Future plans • Do more construction of plasmids with predicted target mRNA fragments insertion. • Co-transform the GFP plasmid pJV861-9 with the target mRNA fragment insertion and the plasmid with antisense small RNA insertion to see the GFP expression.
