Description
Variant of [[Part:BBa_K1896001|Part:BBa_K1896001]] where the start codon was replaced by a GSTGS linker so it can be used in C-terminal protein fusions.
mGFPuv2 contains the following mutations:
- F99S/M153T/V163A: GFPuv or cycle 3 GFP was optimised for excitation by UV light (360-400nm). [1]
- S208L: Almost doubles the fluorescent intensity of GFPuv, resulting in GFPuv2. [2]
- A206K: Monomerizes most GFP variants by disrupting a hydrophobic patch. [3]
Notes
The start codon was replaced by a GSTGS linker to enable scarless C-terminal protein fusions.
Source
We started from pBAD-GFPuv (GenBank: U62637.1, Clontech), applied the described mutations and codon optimised the sequence for E. coli.
