Plasmid Protocol

1. Centrifuge at 5,000×g for 5 min.

2. Carefully open the tube and add 20 μl of sterile water to dissolve the DNA.

3. Close the tube and incubate for 10 minutes at room temperature.

4. Briefly vortex the tube and then do a quick spin to concentrate the liquid at the bottom. Speed is less than 5000×g.

5. Store the plasmid at -20 ℃.

6. The concentration of plasmid re-measurement sometimes differs from the nominal value, which may be due to the position of the lyophilized plasmid in the tube, the efficiency of the re-dissolution, the measurement bias, and adsorption on the wall of the tube, therefore, it is recommended to transform and extract the plasmid before using it

General Plasmid Transform Protocol

1. Take one 100μl of the competent cells and thaw it on ice for 10min, add 2μl of plasmid, then ice bath for 30min, then heat-shock it at 42℃ for 60s, do not stir, and then ice bath for 2min.

2. Add 900μl of LB liquid medium without antibiotics, and incubate at 37℃ for 45min (30℃ for 1-1.5 hours) with 180rpm shaking.

3. Centrifuge at 6000rpm for 5min, leave only 100μl of supernatant to resuspend the bacterial precipitate and spread it onto the target plasmid-resistant LB plate.

4. Invert the plate and incubate at 37℃ for 14h, or at 30℃ for 20h.

5. Pick a single colony into LB liquid medium, add the corresponding antibiotics, incubate at 220rpm for 14h, and extract the plasmid according to the experimental needs and the instructions of the plasmid extraction kit.

COMMENT     On or before Apr 4, 2002 this sequence version replaced L08654.1, 
            gi:58257.
            The circular sequence is numbered such that 0 is the middle of the 
            unique EcoRI site and the count increases first through the tet 
            genes, the pMB1 material, and finally through the Tn3 region. 
            Plasmid pBR322 contains ampicillin and tetracycline resistance 
            genes.  The ampicillin resistance gene (amp-r) is a penicillin 
            beta-lactamase. Promoters P1 and P3 are for the beta-lactamase gene.
            P3 is the natural promoter, and P1 is artificially created by the 
            ligation of two different DNA fragments to create pBR322. P2 is in 
            the same region as P1, but it is on the opposite strand and 
            initiates transcription in the direction of the tetracycline 
            resistance gene.
            Mutational studies in the primosome assembly sites indicate four 
            types of mutations:  Class I having no effect on the activities 
            elicited by the DNA site and the bases involved are probably 
            spacers; Class II requiring higher Mg-2+ concentrations than the 
            wild-type to be fully activated as factor Y ATPase effectors; Class 
            III co-inactivating both the ATPase effector and DNA replication 
            template activity of the site, indicating that they probably 
            represent essential contact points between factor Y and the DNA; 
            Class IV having a replication template activity intermediate that of
            class III and class II mutant DNAs.
            Specific sites within or near the origins of replication are 
            recognized by dnaA protein.  Without dnaA binding to the origin of 
            replication chromosomal replication is not possible (15). pBR322 DNA
            contains two separate regions on opposite strands and close to the 
            origin of replication which, when in single-stranded form, can act 
            as effectors for the ATPase activity of E.coli replication factor Y 
            (5).  Small fragments of DNA containing these sites when cloned in 
            an f1 phage vector act as origins of DNA replication allowing the 
            formation of complementary double-stranded DNA in 
            rifampicin-resistant, dna(B,G,C)-dependent fashion in vitro (5). The
            biological activity of echinomycin is thought to be related to the 
            formation of complexes by intercalating with cellular DNA (20).
