Design Notes

This sequence is not codon optimized for E. coli. Sequence contains 13 rare proline codons (CCC) and a rare arginine codon (AGA).

KillerRed has catalytic residues E70 and S121. The chromophore forms from the backbone of Q67, Y68 and G69.1,2

KillerRed is derived from the hydrozoan chromoprotein anm2CP. This mutagenesis includes the substitutions T147N and C163A, which are spatially close to the chromophore and drastically affect protein fluorescent properties, as well as the folding- and brightness-improving mutations V23E, D26G, V32I, K75R, N78D, T93S, G116D, I120V, K138R, S156P, Y164F, S177G, L183M, K192E, V201I, I203T, K207R and T222A1,2
