VVD36-C73A - Truncated VIVID fluoroprotein derived from Neurospora crassa

VVD36-C73A is a fluoroprotein derived from the Vivid (VVD) blue-light photoreceptor in Neurospora crassa.

Usage and Biology

VVD is a blue-light sensing photoreceptor from the ascomycete (spore-shooting fungus) N. crassa. It is a member of a family of proteins containing a light-oxygen-voltage-sensing (LOV) domain, which modulate circadian responses to environmental stimuli[1]. Mutation of the highly-conserved LOV domain cystine residue (Cys73) to alanine will convert VVD into a fluoroprotein. In addition, previous work [2] indicates that truncation of the first 36 amino acids of VVD increases its stability in heterologous systems. Our VVD part incorporates both of these changes."
