Part:BBa_K592012

eforRed, red chromoprotein

This chromoprotein eforRed naturally exhibits red/pink color when expressed. The color is slightly weaker than RFP. On agar plates and in liquid culture, the color is readily visible to naked eye in less than 24 hours of incubation. The DNA was codon-optimized for expression in E.coli and synthesized by the Korean company Bioneer Corporation.

This part can also be found as a coding device BBa_K864402.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

iGEM12_Uppsala_University: Left picture: Visual color expression of eforRed (BBa_K592012).
Right picture: The Uppsala chromoprotein collection and RFP. The image shows pellets of E coli expressing chromoproteins eforRed BBa_K592012, RFP BBa_E1010, cjBlue BBa_K592011, aeBlue BBa_K864401, amilGFP BBa_K592010 and amilCP BBa_K592009.

Getting this part

All chromoproteins displayed above should be available, but if the registry cannot send them, feel free to contact the Uppsala University team directly via erik.gullberg(at)imbim.uu.se, and we will send them to you.
