Abstract excerpt
Diadumene lineata is a colorful sea anemone with orange stripe tissue of the body column and plain tentacles with red lines. We subjected Diadumene lineata to expression cloning and obtained genes encoding orange (OFP: DiLiFP561) and red fluorescent proteins (RFPs: DiLiFP570 and DiLiFP571). These proteins formed obligatory tetramers. All three proteins showed bright fluorescence with the brightness of...
