mCherry RFP

Red fluorescent protein derived from DsRed.

Advantages:

  • fast folding and maturation
  • bright and photo-stable

Purity issues (update):

  • Ajo-Franklin...Silver (2007) report multiple bands for mCherry purifications in E. coli
  • Contains a hidden translation start site in the N-terminal -> up to 50% of protein produced in E.coli will be truncated (R. Grünberg, unpublished)
  • SDS treatment and boiling before PAGE hydrolyzes the chromophore at F//MYG splitting the protein in half (discussed in Gross et al. (2000) The structure of the chromophore within DsRed protein from coral.)
  • Best maturation for expression at 20 or 25 C (rather than 37)
