ABSTRACT Fusions to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) are an effective way to monitor protein localization. However, altered codon usage in Candida species has delayed implementation of new variants. Examination of three new GFP variants in Candida albicans showed that one has higher signal intensity and increased resistance to photobleaching.

Green Fluorescent Protein Variant

ABSTRACT Transformation of rickettsiae is a recent accomplishment, but utility of this technique is limited due to the paucity of selectable markers suitable for use in this intracellular pathogen. We chose a green fluorescent protein variant optimized for fluorescence under UV lights (GFPUV) as a fluorometric marker and transformed Rickettsia typhi with anrpoB-GFPUV fusion construct. The rickettsiae were subsequently grown in Vero cells, and cultures were screened by PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to confirm incorporation of the rpoB-GFPUV construct. Cultures were then analyzed by flow cytometry for detection of GFPUV expression, and transformed R. typhi were isolated in a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. This is the first report of transformation of rickettsiae with a nonrickettsial (GFPUV) gene.
