pAcGFP1-Hyg-C1 encodes a green fluorescent protein (AcGFP1) from Aequorea coerulescens. pAcGFP1-Hyg-C1 is designed for studies in mammalian systems. This vector allows expression of a protein of interest as a C-terminal fusion to AcGFP1. The vector contains a hygromycin resistance gene for the selection of stable transfectants. pAcGFP1-Hyg-C1 can also be used as a cotransfection marker since the unmodified vector constitutively expresses AcGFP1. The fluorescent protein coding sequence in this construct has been human codon-optimized for efficient expression and enhanced brightness in mammalian cells.

Hygromycin DsRed-Monomer and AcGFP1 expression vectors

Hygromycin DsRed-Monomer and AcGFP1 expression vectors. Vector maps of our DsRed-Monomer and pAcGFP1 Hyg-N1 (Panel A) and Hyg-C1 (Panel B) mammalian expression vectors for fusion applications. Each vector contains a hygromycin selection cassette. These vectors can be used together with our standard N1/C1 vectors containing the neomycin selection cassette to establish double stable cell lines expressing two different Living Colors proteins.

AcGFP1 is a monomeric protein

AcGFP1 is a monomeric protein

AcGFP1 is a monomeric protein. Panel A. Recombinant AcGFP1 protein was analyzed by FPLC gel filtration chromatography. Overall protein absorbance (A280) and chromophore excitation (A477) of the eluted material were monitored simultaneously. AcGFP1 elutes from the column at a retention time corresponding to a molecular weight of 24 kDa. The calculated molecular weight of AcGFP1 is 26.9 kDa. Panel B. Recombinant AcGFP1 protein was analyzed by sucrose density ultracentrifugation using a continuous gradient. Panel C. Pseudonative gel analysis of proteins. The oligomeric structure of proteins is preserved during SDS-PAGE analysis if samples are kept at 4°C and not boiled prior to loading on a gel. Boiled and unboiled recombinant proteins (7.5 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis (12 acrylamide). In both the boiled (denatured) and unboiled (nondenatured) samples, AcGFP1 runs as a uniform band of ~30 kDa due to its monomeric structure. The unboiled (nondenatured) DsRed-Express runs at a much higher molecular weight than its denatured (boiled) counterpart due to its oligomeric structure.
