Usage and Biology

AmilCP is a blue chromoprotein that originates from the coral Acropora millepora, which naturally exhibits strong color when expressed that can be observed with naked eye in both LB and agar culture. The chromoprotein can be used as a quantitative reporter. By performing codon optimization on original native AmilCP, the team of Uppsala 2018 have improved the translation efficiency and prooved the optimized part to have a more stable expression in E.coli trough several generations of growth.

The chromoprotein was first codon optimized by Austin Texas 2017 iGEM team. By performing codon optimization on the seemingly unstable original native AmilCP from 2011, they hypothesized that the chromoprotein would get increased translation efficiency in E.coli. The Uppsala 2018 team have conducted another codon optimization on the original native AmilCP in order to get an expression that can be maintained for a longer period of time trough several generations of growth, hence making the expression of the blue chromoprotein more stable.
