Our findings demonstrate that fusion of GFP to amino acidic tags also affects GFP folding in eukaryotic cells. Remarkably, specific protein tags can not only reduce, but also dramatically enhance ...

NSlmb-vhhGFP4 mediates GFP fusion protein degradation. To test deGradFP in mammalian cells, we constructed a series of plasmids to express various combinations of slmb and vhhGFP4 in cell culture ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics have developed a novel synthetic micropeptide termed the ...

In biochemistry and cell biology, the most highly studied and developed protein is green fluorescent protein (GFP), which is derived from jellyfish Aequorea victoria. GFP has a remarkable capacity ...

GFP is a common fusion protein tag that enables protein expression to be monitored, quantified, and localized within the complex environment of the cell (Lippincott-Schwarz 2001).

Drs. Martin Chalfie, Roger Y. Tsien, and Osamu Shimomura were the recipients. The 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry went to three researchers who discovered the fluorescent protein GFP in jellyfish ...
