Description
This part is a fusion protein between GFP (BBa_E0040) and the N-terminal alpha fragment of lacZ (which encodes β-galactosidase. It is a reporter which can be measured via fluorescence from GFP or through a Miller assay of β-galactosidase.
Notes
I have included the complete GFP sequence. The boundaries of the lacZ alpha fragment are the first 60 codons of lacZ. This is what is defined as the alpha peptide in "The lac operon" by Benno Muller-Hill (see page 76).
Source
The GFP sequence comes from (BBa_E0040) and the N-terminal alpha fragment of lacZ comes directly from lacZ.
