    This year, we choose Golden Gate assembly especially for construction. (Learn about our Construction? See our Construction Page) BsaI and BbsI are used as Type IIs restriction endonucleases in our construction device. At the same time, we decided to use sfGFP as our reporter protein due to its faster folded feature and higher fluorescence intensity. However, sfGFP in iGEM part registry (BBa_I746916) has a BbsI recognition site, which could be affected during Golden Gate assembly. Hence, first coming into our mind was to do a site mutagenesis, BbsI recognition site GAAGAC was altered into GAGGAT while amino acids sequence kept the same. Then we got our sfGFP(BbsI free) part(BBa_K2541401), a BbsI-free sfGFP and especially for Golden Gate assembly(figure 1.).

    Figure 1. Site mutagenesis for sfGFP BbsI free.

    Because we cannot guarantee the mutated sfGFP has the same fluorescence expression as the previous one, after further study, we found a codon optimized sfGFP[1,2] (sfGFP_optimism, BBa_K2541400), which removed the BbsI site and had a functional improvement upon an existing superfolder GFP(BBa_I746916).

    Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis

    Free of the BbsI cleavage site was confirmed by nucleic acid electrophoresis(figure 2.).

    Emission and Excitation Spectra

    Next, we got three types of sfGFP emission and excitation spectra. We have set the excitation and emission wavelength range from 400nm to 600nm. For these three types of sfGFP, the excitation wavelength is around 495nm and the emission wavelength is around 510nm. (figure 3.)

    Figure 3. Three types of sfGFP emission and excitation spectra

    Fluorescence Intensity

    For further characterization, we detected the expression intensity of these three types of sfGFP. According to the results(figure 4.), we found out that the expression intensity of sfGFP_optimism is nearly 2.6 as much as the other two types. As a result, we finally choose sfGFP_optimism as our reporter protein.
