Part:BBa_K3402000
yeGFP
The yeGFP can express green fluorescence protein, which can be used as a report gene to characterize the strength of promoters.
Usage and Biology
We link different promoters to yeGFP to express green fluorescent protein, so we will know the strength of promoters by testing different fluorescence intensity of different promoters

Our part BBa_K3829010 was a contribution for the part-reporter GFP BBa_K3402000 (iGEM20_Jiangnan_China).
Construction of plasmid P-SS-yeGFP3-V5-4609-T
In our project, yeGFP was used to screen anchored proteins.
Fig.1 Structure of P-SS-yeGFP3-V5-4609-T.
Through restriction enzyme digestion verification and sequencing, the plasmid was successfully constructed (Figure 2).

The plasmid was linearized and transferred to Candida tropicalis . The transformants were screened out by uracil deficiency. And then cultivated the transformants and observed the fluorescence with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). As a result, green fluorescence was observed on the cell surface, indicating that yeGFP was expressed and the anchor protein 4609 performed well. (Figure 3).
