Reflectin A1 from Loligo

This is the coding region for reflectin protein A1 (originally found in the mantle of squid Loligo pealeii) codon optimised for E. coli. [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Cambridge Cambridge 2011] overexpressed it for purification using the his-tagged generator BBa_K638201 . We also exported it as a TorA fusion.

Usage and Biology

In the squid this protein is believed to self assemble with membranes to form iridophore platelets - stacks of protein ultrastructure evenly spaced to form a Bragg stack. This creates living structural colour from thin film interference effects. In L. pealeii reflectins are phosphorylated, with [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19776150 changes in phosphorylation status correlating with changes in tissue colour]. Read more about [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Cambridge/Project/Background the background to this protein].
