Part:BBa_K2271066

mRuby-ePTS1

Usage and Biology

This Part is a composite Part containing the fluorescent protein mRuby targeted to the peroxisome with an enhanced PTS1 described by DeLoache et al. (2016)[1.]. The part is designed as a peroxisomal lumen marker for S. cerevisiea. Using the TDH3 promoter and the HHF1 terminator. For fluorometric and microscopic applications the optimal excitation of 559 nm and emission of 600 nm is discriped.

Experimental Design and Results

For the validation the S. cerevisiae Strain BY4742 was tranformed with this part. The cells were fixated and microscoped with an Elyra PS microscope. A typical peroxisomal localisation could be validated (Figure 1).

Figure 1 mRuby fused to the ePts1 described by DeLoache et al. (2016) [1.] The mRuby is localised in the peroxisomes of the cells
