amajLime, yellow-green chromoprotein

This chromoprotein from the coral Anemonia majano, amajLime (also known as amajCFP or amFP486), naturally exhibits strong color when expressed. The protein has an absorption maximum at 458 nm giving it a yellow-green 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 amajLime has significant sequence homologies with proteins in the GFP family.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

Source

Anemonia majano. The protein was first extracted and characterized by Matz et. al. under the name amFP486 (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: Q9U6Y6.1 GI:56749103). This version is codon optimized for E coli by Genscript.
