荧光蛋白的常见应用是标记整个细胞,但许多 RFP 在与标准高水平表达系统一起使用时具有细胞毒性。我们设计了一种快速成熟的四聚体荧光蛋白,称为 DsRed-Express2,其细胞毒性最小。 DsRed-Express2 在细菌和哺乳动物细胞中表现出强而稳定的表达,并且在光稳定性和光毒性方面优于其他可用的 RFP。
A common application of fluorescent proteins is to label whole cells, but many RFPs are cytotoxic when used with standard high-level expression systems. We engineered a rapidly maturing tetrameric fluorescent protein called DsRed-Express2 that has minimal cytotoxicity. DsRed-Express2 exhibits strong and stable expression in bacterial and mammalian cells, and it outperforms other available RFPs with regard to photostability and phototoxicity.
