Short tetracysteine tags to beta-tubulin demonstrate the significance of small labels for live cell imaging.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Dec 2004

Andresen Martin, Schmitz-Salue Rita, Jakobs Stefan

Abstract excerpt

Genetically encoded tags are of fundamental importance for live cell imaging. We show that small tetracysteine (TetCys) tags can be highly advantageous for the functionality of the host protein compared with large fluorescent protein tags. One to three concatenated small TetCys tags as well as th...
