Luciferase Vectors

Vectors have four features
they are able to replicate
 they have selectable markers
 foreign DNA can be inserted in them
 they often carry a reporter gene

Mutagenesis Strategy

Point Mutations or Deletions?




Point mutation in a region of 250bp –
need 30 primers
Deletion in a region of 250bp – need
only 6 primers
Issues: Cost and Saturation
Deletion was Best
Deletions

General Strategy
Bioinformatics

Used to design primers

Minimize secondary structures



Denature the DNA
template
Anneal the primers
Synthesize the
mutant strand
DNA Sequencing


Purify the Vector
DNA from E. coli
Cycle DNA
sequencing
Reporter Assays



Transfect the DNA vector into HeLa
cells
Wait for 24 hours so cell will
express the luciferase
Then measure luciferase activity
And What Happens If No Expression?
