TagBFP

a.k.a. mTagBFP

TagBFP is a basic (constitutively fluorescent) blue fluorescent protein published in 2008, derived from Entacmaea quadricolor. It is reported to be a very rapidly-maturing monomer with very low acid sensitivity.

TagBFP Sequence

TagBFP was derived from TagRFP with the following mutations: N20D/M63L/R67K/P127T/N143F/M146T/S158N/G168S/C172A/F174I/H197Y/D206N/K207N/*230LextN

Note: Subach et al (2008), derives mTagBFP from TagRFP, but Fig 1 depicts TagRFP (and therefore mTagBFP) with two glutamic acids in the N terminus instead of one, as shown in the original TagRFP paper (Merzlyak et al 2007). At Snapgene and in the vast majority of variants seen on Addgene, there is only a single glutamic acid. Here, we use a single glutamic acid in the N terminus, in contrast to the original paper.
