Description
This biobrick contains the PLac and RBS sequences from QIAGEN's pQE30 plasmid in front of the red fluorescent protein KillerRed. KillerRed has an additional function as a photosensitizer and the protein can be used to kill cells if illuminated by strong light while expressing KillerRed. KillerRed's presence in a culture can be seen (red colour similar to RFP), and the level of fluorescence corresponds to the amount of protein. Fluorescence peaks are 535 nm for absorption and 610 nm for emission. The protein dimerizes with itself and is not suitable for protein fusions.
Notes
None
Source
The source of this part is the pQE30 plasmid from QIAGEN (for PLac-RBS) and the KillerRed sequence from INVITROGEN. KillerRed was originally engineered from the anm2cp anthomedusa chromoprotein by Maria E. Bulina et al.
