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

BLOC1S2, also known as BLOS2, belongs to the BLOC1S2 family. It is a component of BLOC-1 complex. The BLOC-1 complex is composed of BLOC1S1, BLOC1S2, BLOC1S3, DTNBP1, MUTED, PLDN, CNO/cappuccino and SNAPIN. The BLOC-1 complex is required for normal biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles, such as platelet dense granules and melanosomes. BLOC1S2 interacts directly with BLOC1S1, BLOC1S3, MUTED, CNO/cappuccino and SNAPIN. It may play a role in cell proliferation. It also plays a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking. Functionally, BLOC1S2 gene has been proposed to participate in processes (melanosome organization, microtubule nucleation, platelet dense granule organization, positive regulation of cell proliferation, positive regulation of transcription, regulation of apoptosis, positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter).
