Function

function

Pigment protein that is yellow-green in color.

Biotechnology

Fluorescent proteins have become a useful and ubiquitous tool for making chimeric proteins, where they function as a fluorescent protein tag. Typically they tolerate N- and C-terminal fusion to a broad variety of proteins. They have been expressed in most known cell types and are used as a noninvasive fluorescent marker in living cells and organisms. They enable a wide range of applications where they have functioned as a cell lineage tracer, reporter of gene expression, or as a measure of protein-protein interactions.

Absorption

Abs(max) = 492nm
Exhibits a smaller absorbance peak at 480 nm. Has a strong fluorescence emission spectrum which peaks at 506 nm.

Type
IDPosition(s)Description
ChainPRO_00001925821-231GFP-like fluorescent chromoprotein FP506
Cross-link66↔685-imidazolinone (Asn-Gly)
Modified residue672,3-didehydrotyrosine

Post-translational modification

Contains a chromophore consisting of modified amino acid residues. The chromophore is formed by autocatalytic backbone condensation between Xaa-N and Gly-(N+2), and oxidation of Tyr-(N+1) to didehydrotyrosine. Maturation of the chromophore requires nothing other than molecular oxygen. The precise stereochemistry of the tyrosine has not been determined.

Expression

Tissue specificity

Tentacle and oral disk.
