Expression of the cDNA for Aequorea green fluorescent protein in E. coli yielded a fused protein with fluorescence excitation and emission spectra virtually identical to those of the native green fluorescent protein. Further, a solution of the protein, when mixed with aequorin and calcium ion, emitted a greenish luminescence characteristic of the in vivo luminescence of the animal, indicating a radiationless energy transfer to the protein.
水母绿色荧光蛋白的互补脱氧核糖核酸(cDNA)在大肠杆菌中的表达产生了一种融合蛋白,其荧光激发光谱和发射光谱与天然绿色荧光蛋白的光谱几乎相同。此外,当该蛋白溶液与水母发光蛋白和钙离子混合时,会发出动物体内发光特有的绿色ish发光,表明向该蛋白发生了无辐射能量转移。
