Prep for Prep for Transformation LabTransformation Lab
• 3-7 days prior to labo Prepare agar plates, arabinose and ampicillan,(page 13-15)o Aliquot solutions (page 17)
• 24-36 hr prior (page 16-17)o Rehydrate E. coli o Streak starter plateso Prepare pGLO plasmid
Prep for Lab Prep for Lab PurificationPurification
• Before Inoculation Lab (Page 6-7)o Prepare liquid culture media, shaking incubator
• Before Purification Phase 1 (page 8) o Rehydrate lyszymeo Set up centrifuge

Introduction to TransformationTransformation Laboratory
Data Collection and AnalysisCalculate Transformation Efficiency
Background Background informationinformation
• Genetic transformation:Occurs when a cell takes up and expresses a new piece of genetic material-DNA
• pGLO plasmid contains GFP gene and the gene for beta-lactamase, the ampicillin resistant gene
• Transformed cells are found on the LB/amp and LB/amp/ara plates
Lab OverviewLab Overview
Transformation TipsTransformation Tips• Transform cells and spread plates
o Be careful when handling E. coli: It could cause food poisoning- Decontaminate work surfaces every day and after any spill- All contaminated liquid or solid wastes are decontaminated before
disposal- All persons must wash their hands after handling bacteria and before
exiting the labo DO NOT mouth pipet, eat, or drink while in labo Wear protective eyewear and gloveso Use a 10% bleach solution for at least 20 min for sterilization of loops and
pipets• Observe transformants and controls/Analyze and
interpret resultso Observe the color and glow of the bacteria under a UV lighto Fewer colonies of bacteria if amp negatively affected growtho Equal numbers of colonies on both LB nutrient agar and LB/amp agar if amp
had no effect o The presence of any colonies on the amp plate would suggest that those
bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin

Background Background InformationInformation
• pGLO plasmid contains GFP gene and the gene for beta-lactamase, the ampicillin resistant gene
• When bacteria was plated onto LB agar containing arabinose (LB/amp/ara), GFP was expressed
• When bacteria was plated onto LB agar that did not contain arabinose (LB/amp), the gene was turned off
• Binding Wash Elution
Chromatography Chromatography OverviewOverview
Purification TipsPurification Tips• Purification Phase 1Bacterial Concentration and
Lysiso Centrifugation is a technique used to separate molecules on the basis
of size by high speed spinningo Centrifugation results in a pellet of bacteria found at the bottom of the
tubeo The liqu
• Purification Phase Removing Bacterial Debriso This final centrifugation step serves to separate the large particles of
lysed bacteria (such as the cell membrane and walls) from the much smaller proteins, including GFP
o The supernatant will fluoresce bright green upon exposure to UV lighto Carefully remove the supernatanto id that resides above the pellet is called the supernatant
Purification TipsPurification Tips• Purification Phase 3 Protein Chromatography
o Bacteria contain thousands of endogenous proteins from which GFP must be separated
o In chromatography, a cylinder, or column is densely filled with a “bed” of microscopic beads that will form a matrix through which proteins must pass before being collected
o GFP “sticks” to the column, allowing it to be separated from the bacterial contaminants
o Equilibration buffer Binding buffer Wash buffer Elution buffer
