mNeonGreen

a.k.a. mNG

mNeonGreen is a basic (constitutively fluorescent) green/yellow fluorescent protein published in 2013, derived from Branchiostoma lanceolatum. It is reported to be a very rapidly-maturing monomer with moderate acid sensitivity.

Excerpts

mNeonGreen is the brightest monomeric green or yellow fluorescent protein yet described to our knowledge, performs exceptionally well as a fusion tag for traditional imaging as well as stochastic single-molecule superresolution imaging and is an excellent fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor for the newest cyan fluorescent proteins.

Shaner et al. (2013)

... as it has so little sequence identity in common with other frequently used fluorescent proteins, mNeonGreen will be an attractive target for antibody development and should be amenable to orthogonal immunoprecipitation experiments along with jellyfish-derived and coral-derived fluorescent proteins.

Shaner et al. (2013)

Notably, when both mTurquoise2 and mNeonGreen donors were included simultaneously, double-labeled cells could be found, which appeared to be capable of dividing (Figure 4—figure supplement 1), indicating that FP labeling does not affect cell viability in diploid CRISPIEd cells
