Abstract excerpt
The palette of fluorescent proteins (FPs) available for live-cell imaging contains proteins that strongly differ in their biophysical properties. FPs cannot be assumed to be equivalent and in certain cases could significantly perturb the behavior of fluorescent reporters. We employed Saccharomyces cerevisiae to comprehensively study the impact of FPs on the toxicity of polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion proteins...
