Humanized TagYFP
|
TagYFP codon usage is optimized for high expression in mammalian cells [Haas et al., 1996], but it can be successfully expressed in many other heterological systems.

TagYFP-tubulin fusion
|
Human α-tubulin is fused to the TagYFP C-terminus. When expressed in mammalian cells, this fusion provides yellow fluorescent labeling of α-tubulin in living cells.

pTagYFP-tubulin
|
FP135

|
TagYFP-mito fusion
|
A mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) is fused to the TagYFP N-terminus. MTS was derived from the subunit VIII of human cytochrome C oxidase [Rizzuto et al., 1989; Rizzuto et al., 1995]. When expressed in mammalian cells, this variant provides yellow fluorescent labeling of mitochondria.
