meffBlue, blue chromoprotein (incl RBS, J23110)

This chromoprotein from the coral Montipora efflorescens, meffBlue (also known as Rtms5), naturally exhibits strong color when expressed. The protein has an absorption maximum at 592 nm giving it a blue color visible to the naked eye. The color is readily observed in both LB or on agar plates after less than 24 hours of incubation. The protein meffBlue has significant sequence homologies with proteins in the GFP family.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

Source

Montipora efflorescens. The protein was first extracted and characterized by Beddoe et. al. under the name Rtms5 (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: P83690.2). This version is codon optimized for E coli by Genscript.
