GFP2

In order to check the functions of our system that whether two frames standing near enough so that enzymes could react easily, we divided the sequence of GFP into two parts called N-fragment and C-fragment. This is the latter. This works like this way: only when supplied with the proper distance for tow enzymes will it produce light output.

Usage and Biology

Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) means two non-fluorescent complementary fragments of the fluorescent protein can reassemble to form a fluorescent complex and restore fluorescence when they are fused to two proteins that interact with each other.

BiFC analysis has been used to study interactions among a wide range of proteins in many cell types. The study of interactions and post-translational modification of the protein makes people master the biological regulatory mechanism more. Interactions in protein are also highly valued, so there have been a number of related technologies having different characteristics and applications[1-2].

Such as GFP,after the sequence of certain sites in interchanges with the amino-terminal or carboxy-terminal sequence loop, it could still be able to fold correctly to form the structure of the chromophore and maintain fluorescence properties[3-5].

In our project, we plan to fuse the GFP1 to the C-terminal of TALE1 protein. However, the sample of BBa_ I715019 provided by the 2015 DNA distribution does not have a termination codon on its 3’ terminal to stop the translation. To fix this, we designed a pair of primers to add a termination codon on the 3’ terminal of BBa_ I715019 to further extend its usage.

Sequence and Features

Experimental Validation

After standardization, we used PCR to proved it.

The forward primer sequence is 5’-CGGAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAGAAAGAATGGAATCC-3’. The reverse primer sequence is 5’-GGACTAGTTTATTATTTGTATAGTTC -3’.

As can be seen from the picture, it's length is right.

we also sent it to sequencing, from the reporter we can proved that it's right.
