<p>Green fluorescent protein (GFP) polypeptides from Renilla reniformis and Renilla kollikeri are disclosed. The amino acid sequence of R. reniformis GFP and back-translated nucleotide sequences of nucleic acids encoding the R. reniformis GFP are also disclosed. These isolated polypeptides, along with the pertinent amino acid and nucleotide sequence information, are useful in a variety of applications for which GFPs from other sources (e.g., Aequoria) are currently employed. Techniques for using the Renilla GFPs are disclosed, along with advantages of Renilla GFP as compared with currently available GFPs.</p> |
