deGFP

deGFP is a variant of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). It was initially designed by Shin and Noireaux (2010) for expression in cell-free protein synthesis systems and is more efficiently translated than other variants.

Characterisation data for deGFP for collected using the expression construct BBa_K2205002


CFPS Expression of deGFP

CFPS Expression of J23100-deGFP and J23100-sfGFP Constructs: Time course for increase in fluorescence intensity of CFPS systems expressing GFP constructs over time. Each data point is an average of triplicate results, and error bars show +/- standard error. CFPS system with no DNA (Red) was used as the negative control.

Columns 7 and 8: wild type Top10 cells. Red parts of the bar are non-fluorescent cells, green parts are fluorescent cells.


Characterization by 2019 BGU_Israel team:

The deGFP can be expressed in a polycistronic plasmid and is expressed and translated in Serratia Marcescens. The deGFP can be used as a reporter gene in mosquito larvae, as they are transparent, and the Serratia are part of their microbiome.

Through integrating engineered Serratia containing a polycistronic plasmid with deGFP, we can track the spread of our engineered bacteria and assume the expression of the other genes from the polycistronic plasmid are occurring as well.
