Yeast transformation and In-vivo plasmid assembly

The aim of this practical class is to transform yeast carrying a circular plasmid pTA1_TDH3_ScATF1_PGI1 with a PCR product containing the KanMX4 selectable marker. The PCR product contain flanking sequences by which in can recombine with the plasmid in-vivo.

The expected result would be a plasmid where the KanMX4 geneticin resistance marker will replace the LEU2 marker in the final plasmid. This will happen through homologous recombination between a circular and a linear DNA molecule.

We can obtain the KanMX DNA fragment by PCR using the primers 1350 and 1349 the pUG6 plasmid.

Preparations

Two yeast strains will be used for transformation:

# Strain box pos Start OD640
µ880 CEN.PK111-32D Björn3 81 0.178
µ1877 CEN.PK111-32D + pTA1_TDH3_ScATF1_PGI1 Björn12 26 0.172

Strain information for CEN.PK111-32D.

# Culture OD640(*) Vol(mL) 07:16 11:30 13:15
µ880 0.123 1.36 0.178 = 0.154 x 5 = 0.77 (Harvest) -
µ1877 0.049 3.46 0.172 = 0.092 x 5 = 0.46 = 0.152 x 5 = 0.76 (Harvest)

(*) Culture Culture OD640 is measured by mixing 1 mL of o/n culture with 45 mL of the appropriate medium and measuring the optical density against medium as blank.

Prepare DNA mix

  1. Take one empty and clean 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube.
Group ddH2O (µL) KanMX4 PCR product (µL)
1 115 5
2 110 10
3 105 15
4 100 20
  1. Add the contents to the tube from the table according to your group.
  2. Put the tube on ice. The DNA mix should be marked kept on ice until needed.

Yeast transformation protocol

The yeast strains to be transformed are S. cerevisiae CEN.PK111-32D (µ880) and the same strain carrying the pTA1_TDH3_ScATF1_PGI1 plasmid (µ1877) made by the students in 2023.

  1. Transfer 100 µL of the cell suspensions (µ880 and µ1877) to each of two empty Eppendorf tubes Keep the tubes with cells on ice when you are not pipetting.
  2. Centrifuge the cells for 20-30 s at the highest speed in the microcentrifuge.
  3. Remove supernatants with a P200 pipette. Leave the cell pellet at the bottom of the tube, do not resuspend.
  4. Add 300 µL PLS to each of the tubes. Put this tube back on ice.
  5. Add 60 µL of the DNA mix you prepared before to each tube. Put tubes back on ice. Do not resuspend.
  6. Mark the tubes "880" and "1877", respectively.
  7. Vortex the tube until the cells are well resuspended, but not longer.
  8. Put the tubes in a floating tube rack in a water bath at 42°C. Be sure you can identify your tube.
  9. Incubate for 40 min.

During this incubation, work on your plasmid assembly.

  1. Remove tubes with cells from the water bath and put on ice for 1-2 min.
  2. Spin tubes for 30 s to 1 min at highest speed.
  3. Remove supernatant with a P1000 pipette. Leave the cell pellet at the bottom of the tube.
  4. Add 400 µL YPD medium and resuspend with the pipette by slowly pipetting up and down using a blue tip, try not make foam.
  5. Incubate at 30°C for 30-60 min.

Use the time work on your plasmid assembly or on your paper presentation.

  1. Add about 1/2 mL glass spheres (~10-15 spheres) each of four empty Petri dishes with the appropriate solid medium.
  2. Transfer 200 µL of the cell suspension to the Petri dish with the solid medium.
  3. Add 20 µL G418 to the cell drop on the plate.
  4. Spread the cells by shaking (using the samba method).
  5. Transfer 200 µL sterile water and 20 µL of the cell suspension to another Petri dish. Add the cells to the water drop.
  6. Add 20 µL G418 to the cell drop on the plate.
  7. Spread the cells by shaking (using the samba method).
  8. Mark you plates with "µ880" or "µ1877", group number, date and either "200 µL" or "20 µL".
  9. Incubate the plates upside down for 2-3 days at 30°C.
  10. Give the tubes with the rest of the cells to the instructor.

The transformation protocol is based on the Gietz High-efficiency yeast transformation using the LiAc/SS carrier DNA/PEG method.

Results

See pictures

If the transformation is successful, we would expect fewer colonies on the "880" plates than on the "1877" plates.
