MT-IEE5-arsC-IEE2-fTNa

Background

This composite part includes coding sequenceS for the proteinS metallothionein, arsenate reductase, and the protein ferritin, all codon optimized for use in the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast. The intention was for them to work synergistically to improve the uptake of arsenic out of contaminated water.

Cloning into E. coli and Verification

The constructs were designed by our team and produced by IDT. They were transformed into 10-Beta competent E. coli cells from NEB. The “Full” sequence, MT-IEE2-ArsC-IEE5-FtnA, was designed by our team and produced in two parts by IDT. However, our team did not have any success cloning this construct via golden braid. This may be due to the presence of IEE2, which is also present in the pASapI backbone. We were unable to confirm cloning via restriction digest and often did not get significant results from the transformation into 10-beta competent E. coli cells.

 ===Cloning into ''E. coli'' and Verification===
-The constructs were designed by our team and produced by IDT. They were transformed into 10-Beta competent ''E. coli'' cells from NEB. The cloning was successful, as the positive control plate showed significantly more colonies than the negative control plate.

Multiple individual colonies are present on the plate, indicating successful transformation. The plate on the left is the negative control. The colonies present may indicate a high background or low efficacy of our initial digest with SapI.]]
-This was confirmed with a restriction digest of the plasmid using XbaI and BstxI. MT-FTNA was expected to have two bands of 4.4kb and 3.7kb. The number and size of bands shown in the gel were as expected, and indicated that the plasmid had been successfully integrated with our combined parts. This is a contrast to the MT-pASapI backbone, which should result in two bands of 4.4kb and 2.3kb.

-We were unable to successfully transform this construct into ''C. reinhardtii''.
