**highly** engineered mutant of red fluorescent protein from Discosoma striata (coral)

monomeric RFP: Red Fluorescent Protein. Excitation peak: 584 nm Emission peak: 607 nm

Usage and Biology

Robert E. Campbell started with Discosoma RFP (DsRed) and evolved a faster folding, monomeric variant. See paper listed in source. Codon optimized for expression in bacteria (?? DE)

iGEM11_Uppsala-Sweden: Expression of chromoproteins. The images above show E coli constitutively expressing amilCP BBa_K592009 (blue), amilGFP BBa_K592010 (yellow) and RFP BBa_E1010 (red).

Peking iGEM 2016 has fused this part with triple spytag. The fused protein is participate in Peking’s polymer network. By adding this protein, the whole polymer network become visible in most conditions.

Summary: We measured the fluorescent signal of mRFP in buffers with different pH.
Documentation:
Charaterization of mRFP pH stabillity:

We grew C41 bacteria with parts BBa_J61002 in 2XYT for 24 hours. After purifying the mRFP by Ion Exchange Chromatography and Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography, we measured the fluoresece (ex ,em ) of purified mRFP, which is diluted to 10µg/100µl (total 200µl) in triplicates, into different buffers (ranges from pH2 to pH12; Volume of mRFP:buffer = 1:1.8). To facilitate reproducibility of the experiment, we correlated the relative fluorescent intensity to an absolute fluorophore concentration by referring it to a standard curve of the fluorophores(Rhodamine) using the interlab study protocol. The result shows that the stability drops dramatically in pH condition below 6 and relatively stable in pH 6-10.
