mCherry N-terminal - codon optimized for C. reinhardtii

This part is a modified version of Part:BBa_K1093016. It has been codon optimized for expression in C. reinhardtii and additionally the split was made at amino acids 158 and 159.

Function of the part

mCherry is a monomeric red fluorescent protein that has been used for observing components by fusing the sequence to a protein of interes and observing the mCherry by flourescent spectroscopy and microscopy. The mCherry protein is the basis for the bimolecular fluorescence fusion technique which is used to visualize protein-protein interaction. The mCherry is split into two parts, in our case between amino acids 158 and 159. The two components can be fused to proteins of interest and, upon dimerization, are reconstituted to the fully functional red fluorescent protein (Excitation/Emission wavelengths: 587/610 nm).
