4 Whole Cell Yeast PCR Kit 1. Introduction The Whole Cell Yeast PCR Kit is designed to release DNA (plasmid, YAC, and genomic DNA) from whole cells (colonies or liquid cultures) for PCR analysis. Using a proprietary Enzyme Mixx, the tough yeast cell wall is disrupted in a single 1-hour incubation and the resulting cell suspension is used directly in the PCR reaction. Such a treatment is essential to give reproducible PCR results without purifying the DNA first. Optimal performance is obtained when Molecular Biology Certified yeast media from MP Biomedicals is used. This is particularly important if yeast liquid cultures are directly used without pelleting first. 4

Kit Components Aurora Western Blotting kits are available in 2 sizes and sufficient for either 10 or Enzyme Mixx * Enzyme Buffer, Sterile 1.1ml Control Yeast BIO 96 Slant Control Actin PCR Primer Set (10uM) * * Store at -20 C. To reconstitute see instructions on Page 4. 1 Lyophilized Powder 2 Store at 4 C 3. Important Considerations Before Use 3.1 Shipping & Storage Instructions The kit is shipped at room temperature. However, upon receipt the Enzyme Mixx, Control Actin PCR Primer Set (both lyophilized powders) should be stored at -20 C. The slant containing the control yeast should be stored at 4 C. After the Enzyme Mixx is mixed with the Enzyme Buffer the resulting Whole Cell Lysis Solution should be stored at -70 C in single use aliquots. The reconstituted Control Actin PCR Primer is stored at -20 C. 3.2 Reagent Preparation Before first use, prepare the whole Cell Lysis Solution, Control Actin PCR Primer Set, and a frozen stock of Control Yeast. 5

6 Whole Cell Yeast PCR Kit I. Preparation of Whole Cell Lysis Solution a) Gently tap Enzyme Mixx vial on the bench top to collect the enzyme powder at the bottom of the vial. b) Resuspend Enzyme Mixx with the contents of the Enzyme Buffer tube (1.1 ml). Gently pipette up and down to mix. Place on a shaker or rocker and continue to dissolve at room temperature for ten minutes. Do not heat even though the solution may appear grainy. c) Aliquot in quantities that will be convenient for your testing needs. For example, if you expect to perform 10 PCR samples at once, freeze aliquots 50 ul (5 ul/ sample). d) Freeze aliquots at -70 C. To ensure maximum efficiency, thaw aliquots once and use entire contents. Do not refreeze. Enzyme is stable for 6-months after reconstitution. II. Preparation of Control Actin PCR Primer Set a) Spin tube containing primer set for 5 minutes at room temperature to collect the lyophilized oligos at the bottom of the tube. b) Add 140 ul of autoclaved H 2 O to get a 10 um stock solution. c) Spin for 10 minutes at room temperature. d) Store at -20 C. III. Preparation of a frozen stock of Control Yeast BIO 96 a) Inoculate a 5 ml YPD culture (MP Biomedicals: Catalog #: ) and grow overnight at 30 C with shaking. b) Transfer 800ml of culture to a sterile microfuge tube, add 200 l sterile 80% glycerol and invert several times to mix. c) Store at -70 C. d) To revive cells, scoop some frozen media from the frozen culture surface and streak onto a YPD agar plate (MP Biomedicals: Catalog #: ) and incubate at 30 C until growth is observed. Do not allow the frozen cells in storage vial to thaw. Call (440) or Toll Free: (800) for ordering information or visit 6

Wear personal protective equipment to prevent contact with the skin or mucus membranes (gloves, lab coat, and eye protection). Consult the enclosed Material Safety Data Sheet for additional details. 5. Protocol Note: To use the Control Yeast BIO 96 culture, streak a new YPD agar plate with control yeast each time. Optimal results are obtained with fresh colonies/cultures. If using liquid cultures, it is essential to use high-quality ingredients (Molecular Biology Certified yeast growth media is available from MP Biomedicals at www. mpbio.com) 1. For each sample to process, add 5 ul Whole Cell Lysis Solution to a microfuge tube, PCR tube, or a 96-well microplate well if processing multiple samples. 2. From prepared Yeast Colonies or Pelleted Cells: Lightly touch a fresh yeast colony or a cell pellet from a liquid culture with a sterile, disposable pipette tip. Transfer cell colony/pellet to the microfuge tube, PCR tube, or a 96-well microplate well containing the Whole Cell Lysis Solution. (Note: Transfer ~ ¼ of a 2 mm yeast colony). Pipette up and down gently or swirl with the pipette tip to resuspend. Avoid formation of bubbles. Cells should be a homogenous suspension for optimal results. 7

8 Whole Cell Yeast PCR Kit From prepared Yeast Liquid Cultures: Transfer 1 ul cells from an overnight culture to a microfuge tube, PCR tube, or a 96- well microplate well containing the Whole Cell Lysis Solution. Pipette up and down gently or swirl with the pipette tip to resuspend. Avoid formation of bubbles. Cells should be a homogenous suspension for optimal results. 3. Incubate at 37 for 1-hour and use the resulting cell suspension (NOT the clear supernatant) for a 25 or 50 ul PCR reaction. 4. Perform PCR assay (see guidelines below). To further lyse cells, include a minute incubation step at 95 C as the first PCR step. 5. After running the PCR assay, spin each completed PCR sample for 2 minutes before loading an agarose gel in order to pellet cell debris at the bottom of the reaction tube.

Next add 5 units of Taq Polymerase and begin 40 cycles of PCR. 8

10 Whole Cell Yeast PCR Kit 6. Troubleshooting Guide No PCR Signal? 1. Insufficient amount of yeast cells used. Upon resuspension of the transferred cells in whole cell lysis solution the resulting suspension should be somewhat cloudy. It should not be clear. 2. Cells with damaged cell walls may have settled to the bottom of the reaction tube; resuspend and use cell suspension in the PCR reaction (do not use the clear supernate which contains few cells). 3. Inefficient cell wall damage, thus no lysis occurs at 95 C. Increase the incubation time at 37 C in Step 3 and use fresh colony/culture.
