Design Notes

mCherry is a red fluorescent protein used as a reporter derived from the fluorophore DsRed, which wasthat originally isolated from Discosoma sea anemones. It is commonly used due to its colour and photostability compared to other monomeric fluorophores.

This part is a variant of mCherry, the sequence of which was modified to optimize its expression in Bacillus subtilis against E. coli using the Communique tool developed by the 2021 TAU Israel team. This specific variant was optimized based on tRNA abundance ratio between B. subtilis and E. coli. You may read more about the optimization model here.


For more information on this part, please consult the 2021 TAU Israel wiki results page found here. Information about experimental procedures can be found here and here.

mCherry is one of several "second-generation" monomeric fluorescent proteins developed in Roger Tsien's laboratory at UCSD (cf., Nature Biotechnology 22, 1567 - 1572 (2004). PMID 15558047
