Fusion protein of CFP and YFP with an amber codon in the linker under T7-promotor control

This part is an improved version of the pFRY plasmid (BBa_K1416004) and pRXG (BBa_K2020040) consisting of a mRFP domain which is connected by a linker sequence containing an amber stop codon with a sfGFP domain. The expression of the plasmid results either in red fluorescence, or - if the ncAA is incorporated at the amber stop codon within the linker site - in both: red and green fluorescence. By comparison of fluorescence levels it is possible to determine incorporation efficiency of the generated synthetase variants.

The iGEM-team Bielefeld CeBiTec 2017 [http://2017.igem.org/Team:Bielefeld-CeBiTec/Improve Bielefeld CeBiTec] had a little trouble in using it at our own synthetases. We investigated that there were some issues with the choice of RFP and GFP for the system and decided to improve the part by using CFP and YFP, for they form a FRET system which leads to a more accurate distinction between the partial (CFP) and the whole (CFP-YFP) expressed fusion protein.
