Part:BBa_K2814007
sfGFP_ssrA
Our part consists of sfGFP appended with a ssrA(LVA) deg-tag. It has been codon optimised for E. coli. This part is useful as it has high intensity as compared to other gfp variants as well as faster degradation rates and shorter reporter lifetimes.
Superfolder GFP is a basic (constitutively fluorescent) green fluorescent protein derived from Aequorea victoria. It has an emission wavelength of 510 nm and excitation wavelength of 485nm. It has a robust folding characteristic. The superfolder mutations also make the folding of GFP tolerant of mutations that would otherwise reduce the folding yield of GFP.
Our ssrA degtag is the gfp(LVA) that has a single (A → G) point mutation in nucleotide 349, resulting in an Asp117 → Gly117 (D117G) amino acid change. This point mutation does not appear to change the fluorescence spectrum of gfp(LVA). The LVA tag has been reported to lead to fast protein degradation, degrading GFP with rate -0.018 per minute. This corresponds to in vivo half-lives of mature Gfp(LVA) of approximately 40 min.
