Yellow Fluorescent Protein (YFP)

Yellow Fluorescent Protein derived from Aequorea victoria GFP. This sequence is cloned from the pZE12-YFP plasmid used by Elowitz (see reference). The original gene was made by the The Yeast Resource Center (YRC) based at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.


iGEM12_Uppsala_University: If you are looking for a bright yellow fluorescent protein, the improved gene SYFP2 BBa_K864100 is a better choice than this part.


Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

The images above show E coli constitutively expressing YFP BBa_K592101 (yellow) and mTagBFP BBa_K592100 (blue) illuminated on a UV table.

Egypt-AFCM Team Improvement

[http://2017.igem.org/Design.html# Egypt-AFCM Team] tried to improve YFP function at BBa_K592101 regarding its expression by the lac promoter (BBa_K2217017) as a weak constitutive promoter in one composite part to help enhancing YFP expression to characterize non-coding RNA regulatory activity. Part characterization and usage can be found at BBa_K2217023_Experience.
