OFPSpark Tag Information

OFPSpark is a red (orange) fluorescent protein (excitation/emission maxima are 549 and 566 nm, respectively) derived from DsRed. Possessing high photostability and pH stability, OFPSpark is more than twice brighter than mOrange2. Fast OFPSpark maturation makes it clearly detectable in mammalian cells as early as within 8 hrs after transfection. OFPSpark can be expressed and detected in a wide range of organisms. Mammalian cells transiently transfected with OFPSpark expression vectors produce bright fluorescence in 8 hrs after transfection. No cytotoxic effects or visible protein aggregation are observed. For its monomer structure, OFPSpark performs well in some fusions and protein labeling applications.

Background Information

Aspartate aminotransferase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms, aspartate aminotransferase and GOT2, respectively. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes are homodimeric and show close homology. There is a rare in-frame deletion in aspartate aminotransferase gene, which inactivates cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase(cAST) enzyme in the Old Order Amish. This may help to understand structure and function of the enzyme and would be useful for predicting serum aspartate AST levels.
