Abstract

The green fluorescent protein (GFP)‐nanobody is a single‐chain V H H antibody domain developed with specific binding activity against GFP and is emerging as a powerful tool for isolation and cellular engineering of fluorescent protein fusions in many different fields of biological research. Using X‐ray crystallography and isothermal titration calorimetry, we determine the molecular details of GFP:GFP‐nanobody complex formation and explain the basis of high affinity and at the same time high specificity of protein binding. Although the GFP‐nanobody can also bind YFP, it cannot bind the closely related CFP or other fluorescent proteins from the mFruit series. CFP differs from GFP only within the central chromophore and at one surface amino acid position, which lies in the binding interface. Using this information, we have engineered a CFP variant (I146N) that is also able to bind the GFP‐nanobody with high affinity, thus extending the toolbox of genetically encoded fluorescent probes that can be isolated using the GFP‐nanobody.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
