gfasPurple, purple chromoprotein

This chromoprotein from the coral Galaxea fascicularis, gfasPurple (also known as gfasCP), naturally exhibits strong color when expressed. The protein has an absorption maximum at 577 nm giving it a purple color visible to the naked eye. The strong color is readily observed in both LB or on agar plates after less than 24 hours of incubation. The protein gfasPurple is closely related to amilCP BBa_K592009 and has significant sequence homologies with proteins in the GFP family.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

Source

Galaxea fascicularis. The protein was first extracted and characterized by Alieva et. al. under the name gfasCP (GenBank: DQ206394.1). This version is codon optimized for E coli by Genscript.
