RFC[25]-compatible dark quencher based on K1319000 (E0030)

This part is a RFC[25] dark quencher that is based upon K1319000 (the RFC[25] version of E0030/EYFP).

Three mutations were introduced that eliminated fluorescence:

  • L90I
  • Y145W
  • H148R

Usage and Biology

This protein is designed to be a dark quencher for GFP (E0040) in a FRET system. When used in a fusion protein with GFP it reduces the observed fluorescence of GFP drastically. In the biobrick K1319014 this is realised and the proteins are fused with the linker K1319016 which includes a specific TEV protease (available as K1319004) cleavage site. The fusion of the proteins brings GFP and REACh 2 in proximity to each other which allows GFP and REACh 2 to act as donors and acceptors in a FRET (Förster Energy Transfer System) system. GFPs emission energy is thereby taken up by REACh 2 and released as thermal energy instead of visible light. This eliminates the GFP fluorescence and allows for a release of a strong fluorescence signal if a TEV protease is expressed and the linker is cut. The cutting separates GFP and REACh 2 cancelling the FRET interaction and providing a GFP fluorescence response.
