Test page for standardized BioBrick part descriptions

Keywords: fluorescent, reporter, chromophore, luminescence, bioluminescence, photoprotein

Used abbreviations:

• GFP = Green Fluorescent Protein

Design Notes

Other versions of this BioBrick:

• The BioBrick BBa_I757008 encodes a yellow fluorescent protein (mVenus) derived from GFP
• The BioBrick BBa_I757008 encodes GFP in RFC25 for protein fusions

Cloning details:

• Part was designed in RFC10
• Mutation G381A to delete XbaI restriction site
• The correctness of the part was checked by sequencing

Protein coding:

• Green Fluorescent Protein [Nucleotide 1 to 714]
• The protein has the amino acid replacements Ser65Thr in order to increase fluorescence, photostability and to shift the major excitation peak to 488 nm. (see Heim et al., 1995)
• The protein encoded is posttranslationally modified by a cross-link between Ser65 and Gly67 to form the chromophore.

Enzymatic activity: none

Cytotoxicity: none
