A synthetic gene coding for the green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a versatile reporter in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii†
Abstract
Summary: The use of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model system has been hindered by difficulties encountered in expressing foreign genes. We have synthesised a gene encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) adapted to the codon usage of C. reinhardtii (cgfp). After verifying the gene was functional in Escherichia coli, the cgfp was fused in frame to the phleomycin resistance gene ble from Streptoalloteichus hindustanus and expressed in C. reinhardtii under control of the rbcS2 promoter and intron sequences. The GFP‐fluorescence was seen only in the nucleus demonstrating the nuclear accumulation of the Ble‐GFP fusion protein. The cgfp was also fused to the chlamyopsin gene, cop, and expressed in C. reinhardtii under control of the cop promoter. The eyespot became fluorescent indicating that the opsin–GFP fusion protein was correctly directed into the eyespot along with the endogenous unmodified opsin. We conclude that cgfp provides a useful tool to visualize protein synthesis and localisation in vivo in C. reinhardtii and possibly in related green algal species.

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.
