• This sequence has 5' and 3' SapI sequences, followed by full length FAKS, followed by human Kappa Casein (Kex+). Electra cloning cleaves at SapI sites and ligates simulatenously.

• We cloned into pD1214. This vector was ordered from DNA2.0 and is linearized upon arrival. Our insert is treated with Electra enzyme mix which cuts and ligates our "SapI.gene.SapI" and inserts it into the pD1214 vector.

• SapI treated DNA has an ATG overhang at the 5' end and a GGT overhang at the 3' end. Our complete vector will have the alphafactorfull signal sequence, which leads into another Methionine (M), followed by the rest of the human kappa casein protein.

All you need to know about the Electra system.

• Successfully cloned SapI.hKcasein.SapI into the electra daughter vector (pD1214).

Reaction: 
1uL pD1214:FAKS (20ng)
1uL (20ng) of BB.SapI.humKappa(Kex+).SapI.BB
2uL Electra Buffer
1uL of Electra enzyme mix
15uL of Water
----
20uL, Room Temperature, 20min.

• We waited to transform cells until August 26, 2014 (Nikola and Johan performed this) since we did not have competent cells available.
