cjBlue, green chromoprotein

This chromoprotein from the Cnidopus japonicus sea anemone, cjBlue, naturally exhibits dark green color when expressed. Compared to some other chromoproteins, such as amilCP (BBa_K592009), amilGFP (BBa_K592010), spisPink (BBa_K1033932), asPink (BBa_K1033933) and aeBlue (BBa_K864401), the color development is slower. The color is readily observed in both LB or on agar plates after 24-48 hours of incubation. The sequence is codon optimized for expression in E coli.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

J23119+Target1+cjBlue BBa_K2285018

An improved part has been constructed. Since this part is a coding sequence, we added a RBS which is on the upstream of sfGFP BBa_K515005 and terminator BBa_B1006 by PCR. What's more, our device have a stem-loop structure(called Target) following the constitutive promoter J23119, to achieve further control of cjBlue expression.

Plot 1

The area built by the circles colored in different shades of grey in the plot on the left hand side represent the QMEAN scores of the reference structures from the PDB. The model's QMEAN score is compared to the scores obtain for experimental structures of similar size (model size +/- 10%) and a Z-score is calculated. A Z-score (or standard score) is a score which is normalised to mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Thus the QMEAN Z-score directly indicates how many standard deviations the model's QMEAN score differs from expected values for experimental structures. In analogy, Z-scores are calculated for all four statistical potential terms as well as the agreement terms being part of the QMEAN score.



Plot 2

The plot in the middle shows the density plot (based on the QMEAN score) of all reference models used in the Z-score calculation. The location of the query model with respect to the background distribution is marked in red. This plot basically is a "projection" of the first plot for the given protein size. The number of reference models used in the calculation is shown at the bottom of the plot.



Plot 3

The analysis of these Z-scores of the individual terms can help identifying the geometrical features responsible for an observed large negative QMEAN Z-score. Models of low quality are expected to have strongly negative Z-scores for QMEAN but also for most of the contributing terms. Large negative values correspond to red regions in the color gradient. "Good structures" are expected to have all sliders in the light red to blue region.”


The QMEAN6 score is a composite score consisting of a linear combination of 6 terms (estimated model reliability between 0-1). The pseudo-energies of the contributing terms are given below together with their Z-scores with respect to scores obtained for high-resolution experimental structures of similar size solved by X-ray crystallography:


Scoring Function Term Raw Score Z Score
Cβ Interaction Energy -91.57 -1.48
All Atom Pairwise Energy -42903.03 -0.85
Solvation Energy -145.58 -0.51
Torsion Angle Energy -501.77 0.18
Secondary Structure Agreement 88.2% 1.18
Solvent Accessibility Agreement 76.0% -0.69
QMEAN6 score 0.712 -0.41

A score of 94% in the most favoured regions as seen in the Ramachandran plot shows that the above predicted model of cjBlue, green chromoprotein is a very good prediction.
