fwYellow, yellow chromoprotein

This chromoprotein (also known as FezziwigYFP) naturally exhibits strong color when expressed. Compared to many 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 24-64 hours of incubation.

Usage and Biology

This part is useful as a reporter.

Characterization: NWU-China 2019

The NWU-China team overexpressed fwYellow protein in E. coli and extracted and purified. The maximum absorbance was measured in a 96-well plate using a microplate reader (Synergy 2).

At the same time, fwYellow can emit strong fluorescence under blue light excitation.

When we used the microplate reader to measure the excitation light and absorbed light, we found that the spectrum of fwYellow is too narrow. Due to the low precision of the instrument, it is impossible to accurately measure its excitation light and emission light. The excitation light is around 522 nm and the emission is about 536 nm.
