amilGFP (+LVA) yellow reporter protein with degradation tag.
The strong yellow color is visible to the naked eye under natural room light both in a LB liquid medium and on a LB agar plate. You can easily visualize gene expression without special equipment. Rapid degradation of the protein allows real-time imaging. It is also useful as a fluorescent reporter. For detailed usage, see UT-Tokyo 2013 wiki (currently under construction).
This is the LVA tagged version of BBa_K592010. LVA tag was added to increase decay rate by PCR using the primers shown on our wiki (UT-Tokyo 2013)(currently under construction).
amilGFP is a coral fluorescent protein from Acropora millepora. It is a member of the GFP family.
Excitation maximum : 503 nm
Emission maximum : 512 nm
Quantum yield : 0.67
Molar Extinction : 75200
LVA tag is one of the ssrA degradation tag, which decreases the protein half-life when added to the C-terminus.
