Results and Discussion Report Results Figure 1 shows the results from the transformation of the E. coli DH5α competent cells with the mutant Abl plasmid. There was no growth on the positive and negative control plates, which was expected. There was substantial growth on the plate with the H396P mutant insert, which was also expected. This transformation and plating were done to increase replication. Colonies from the H396P mutant insert plate was also used for minipreps. The absorbance at 260 nm was 0.079, while the absorbance at 280 nm was 0.056. The insert DNA concentration came out to be 39.5 and the 260/280 nm ration was 1.41. Figure 1: H396P transformation results from left to right: negative control, positive control, Abl mutant Figure 2 shows the results from the co-transformation of the mutant Abl plasmid with YopH into BL21DE3 cells. There was no growth on the plate. This was most likely due to issues with the YopH plasmid. Colonies from supervisor stocks were used instead to move forward with the experiment.

Figure 3 is the alignment of the forward sequence to the WT sequence. The mutation is circled above. It is the A622C mutation, which was the expected mutation. There are no other abnormalities, other than the gaps and few mutations at the beginning and end of the sequence. These are expected, so they aren’t as important. Figure 3: This is the alignment of the forward sequence to the WT sequence. The mutation is circled.
Figure 4 is the alignment of the reverse sequence to the WT sequence. The mutation is circled above. It is the T622G mutation, which was the expected mutation. There is one small gap at base pair 392, but that isn’t very important since it is only present in the reverse sequence, not the forward sequence. Figure 4: This is the alignment of the reverse sequence to the WT sequence. The mutation is circled.
