Generation of destabilized green fluorescent protein as a transcription reporter.
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a widely used reporter in gene expression and protein localization studies. GFP is a stable protein; this property allows its accumulation and easy detection in cells. However, this stability also limits its application in studies that require rapid reporter turnover. We created a destabilized GFP for use in such studies by fusing amino acids 422-461 of th...
متن کاملGreen fluorescent protein as a real time quantitative reporter of heterologous protein production.
Since its cloning and commercial availability, applications of green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a reporter gene have become prevalent in many aspects of science. The attributes of GFP could also be applied to the area of heterologous protein production. The work described here represents the first experiments to use GFP as a generic tool to monitor protein production in bioprocess development...
متن کاملGreen fluorescent protein as a signal for protein-protein interactions.
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is autofluorescent. This property has made GFP useful in monitoring in vivo activities such as gene expression and protein localization. We find that GFP can be used in vitro to reveal and characterize protein-protein interactions. The interaction between the S-peptide and S-protein fragments of ribonuclease A was chosen as a model system. GFP-tagged S-peptide wa...
متن کاملUsing superfolder green fluorescent protein for periplasmic protein localization studies.
Studies investigating the subcellular localization of periplasmic proteins have been hampered by problems with the export of green fluorescent protein (GFP). Here we show that a superfolding variant of GFP (sfGFP) is fluorescent following Sec-mediated transport and works best when the cotranslational branch of the pathway is employed.
متن کاملGreen fluorescent protein as a quantitative reporter of relative promoter activity in E. coli.
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has become a valuable tool for the detection of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. To evaluate its potential for quantitation of relative promoter activity in E. coli, we have compared GFP with the commonly used reporter gene lacZ, encoding beta-galactosidase. We cloned a series of previously characterized synthetic E. coli promoters into GFP and beta...
