Gal1+cox6+GFP+ADH1

To test the localization function of CoxVI, the C-terminus of CoxVI was fused to GFP. Besides,we use MitoTracker Red®CMXRos to stain the mitochondria and do an overlap with GFP. By observing the coefficient value, we can judge that if our leading peptide works.We adopted fluorescence test to have a visible look at where the fusion protein is located. The following microscope images were obtained. It was observed that green fluorescence concentrated in mitochondria stained by a specific stain, instead of diffusing in the cytosol.The reult proves that CoxVI can locate GFP into the mitochondrial matrix.

Figue1.GFP is targed to the mitochondria
