Excerpts

In one experiment to amplify the full length of QC2-6, we accidentally used a defective reverse primer to introduce a mutation at the termination codon. The translation readthrough led to the addition of a short C-terminal tail (PT) composed of YSRTKLE. Notably, this protein product QC2-6(PT) showed high scores in OSER (82.6%) and Fluoppi (100%) assays.

Ando et al. (2023)

All things considered, we designated QC2-6 FIQ as the most useful monomeric version and named it mStayGold. We also kept QC2-6(PT) as a reserve monomer and named it mStayGold2.
