Part:BBa_K592101

Yellow Fluorescent Protein (YFP)

Yellow Fluorescent Protein derived from Aequorea victoria GFP. This sequence is cloned from the pZE12-YFP plasmid used by Elowitz (see reference). The original gene was made by the The Yeast Resource Center (YRC) based at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.

iGEM12_Uppsala_University: If you are looking for a bright yellow fluorescent protein, the improved gene SYFP2 BBa_K864100 is a better choice than this part.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

The images above show E coli constitutively expressing YFP BBa_K592101 (yellow) and mTagBFP BBa_K592100 (blue) illuminated on a UV table.

[http://2017.igem.org/Team:AFCM-Egypt# Egypt-AFCM Team] tried to improve YFP gel characterization and function at BBa_K592101 regarding its expression by the lac promoter (BBa_K2217017) as a weak constitutive promoter in one composite part to help enhancing YFP expression to characterize non-coding RNA regulatory activity. Part characterization and usage can be found at BBa_K2217023_Experience.

Summary:We have adapted the part to be able to assemble transcriptional units with the Golden Gate method and we have added the degradation tag ssRA LVA. After that, we have characterized the protein degradation variation due to this tag.
