Here we present StayGold, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) derived from the jellyfish Cytaeis uchidae. StayGold is over one order of magnitude more photostable than any currently available fluorescent protein and has a cellular brightness similar to mNeonGreen. Researchers used StayGold to image the dynamics of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with high spatiotemporal resolution over several minutes using structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and observed substantially less photobleaching than with a GFP variant optimized for stability in the ER. StayGold will substantially reduce the limitations imposed by photobleaching, especially in the live cell or volumetric imaging. We chose StayGold as our reporter fluorescent protein because it has an order of magnitude greater photostability than any currently available fluorescent protein, and the excitation and emission wavelengths of Staygold do not overlap with the chloroplast fluorescence of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii itself

===Introduction===
 +
StayGold is a green fluorescent protein, which has an order of magnitude more photostability than any currently available fluorescent protein. In our project, we tried to analyze whether it could be functional in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). T7 promoter is a commonly used inducible promoter for protein expression in E. coli BL21(DE3). However, T7 promoter needs to be induced by IPTG, and IPTG is expensive and contains slightly toxic. Thus, we designed a pET-P(BAD)-StayGold plasmid that only needs non-toxic arabinose to induce, and determined whether the pET-P(BAD)-StayGold plasmid could work normally in E. coli BL21(DE3) by detecting the fluorescence expression intensity of fluorescent.
 +
 +
===Plasmid Construction===
 +
Recombinant plasmid pET29a-StayGold was used as template, and StayGold-For and StayGold-Rev were used as primers to amplify StayGold target gene (654 bp). Using pET-PBAD as template, BAD-vector-For and BAD-vector-Rev as primers, the vector fragment (5037 bp) containing arabinose induced promoter was obtained by amplification. The linearizing vector and the target gene was joined together by one-step cloning. Colony PCR was performed on the transformed colonies using yanzhengFor and yanzhengRev as primers. Positive colonies were transferred and plasmids were extracted.  After sequencing verification, the recombinant plasmid pET-P(BAD)-StayGold was obtained.

Introduction

StayGold is a green fluorescent protein, which has an order of magnitude more photostability than any currently available fluorescent protein. In our project, we tried to analyze whether it could be functional in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). T7 promoter is a commonly used inducible promoter for protein expression in E. coli BL21(DE3). However, T7 promoter needs to be induced by IPTG, and IPTG is expensive and contains slightly toxic. Thus, we designed a pET-P(BAD)-StayGold plasmid that only needs non-toxic arabinose to induce, and determined whether the pET-P(BAD)-StayGold plasmid could work normally in E. coli BL21(DE3) by detecting the fluorescence expression intensity of fluorescent.

Plasmid Construction

Recombinant plasmid pET29a-StayGold was used as template, and StayGold-For and StayGold-Rev were used as primers to amplify StayGold target gene (654 bp). Using pET-PBAD as template, BAD-vector-For and BAD-vector-Rev as primers, the vector fragment (5037 bp) containing arabinose induced promoter was obtained by amplification. The linearizing vector and the target gene was joined together by one-step cloning. Colony PCR was performed on the transformed colonies using yanzhengFor and yanzhengRev as primers. Positive colonies were transferred and plasmids were extracted. After sequencing verification, the recombinant plasmid pET-P(BAD)-StayGold was obtained.

Fluorescence intensity detection

The recombinant plasmid pET-P(BAD)-StayGold was introduced into E. coli BL21(DE3), notated as BAD-StayGold. The transfected Escherichia coli was cultured in LB medium containing 10 mM arabinose till OD600 reached 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2, and the fluorescence intensity was detected. E. coli BL21(DE3) transfected with pET-PBAD empty vector as a control.

Our results showed that E. coli BL21(DE3) harboring pET-P(BAD)-StayGold achieved efficient expression of stayGold gene with higher fluorescence intensity of 428.52,719.85 and 772.77 under OD600 of 0.8, 1, and 1.2, respectively, compared with the control (251.17, 267.38, 273.85).

Exploring the optimal expression temperature of stayGold in E. coli BL21(DE3)

Further, we measured the change of fluorescence intensity of E. coli BL21(DE3) introduced with pET-P(BAD)-StayGold plasmid by controlling the culture temperature and time. After entering the logarithmic growth phase (OD600~0.5), 10 mM arabinose was added to E. coli BL21(DE3) harboring pET-P(BAD)-StayGold plasmid to induce stayGold gene expression. The fluorescence intensity of stayGold in E. coli BL21(DE3) and the OD600 were determined during the cultivation (Fig 3). (A)-(C) indicates that OD600 has the minimal fluctuation at 30℃. Besides, at 30℃, relative fluorescence intensity maintained the highest than the other two.
