Green Fluorescent Protein Protein – prot-r-FP506

Green Fluorescent Protein Purified Protein : Fluorescent proteins have become widely used in a variety of experimental paradigms since the demonstration of the utility of the first one, Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) about 20 years ago (1). In 1999 Matz et al. characterized several fluorescent proteins from various coral species which were cloned and sequenced using degenerate primers based on the GFP sequence (2). One of these was Fp506, isolated from a Zoanthus coral. This protein proved to have spectral properties similar to GFP although the protein sequence was only distantly related.

Characteristics of Green Fluorescent Protein protein

Our fp506 construct is identical to that in the Uniprot database entry Q9U6Y5, as described in reference 1. The vector adds a C-terminal His-tag which was use to purify the protein and this, along with some other vector derived sequence, adds about 5 kDa to the molecule.
