This project on fluorescence complementation involves confirming previous work using Jun and Fos heterodimerizing proteins, each fused to a half terminus of YFP. The two halves of the YFP protein bind, giving rise to fluorescence. We will then carry out the experiment with GFP or YFP split at different points in order to find a cleavage point that produces reversible fluorescence. These half proteins will then be attached to proteins that revesibly associate.<br> | This project on fluorescence complementation involves confirming previous work using Jun and Fos heterodimerizing proteins, each fused to a half terminus of YFP.

Team 1 - Fluorescence Complimentation
This project on fluorescence complementation involves confirming previous work using Jun and Fos heterodimerizing proteins, each fused to a half terminus of YFP. The two halves of the YFP protein bind, giving rise to fluorescence. We will then carry out the experiment with GFP or YFP split at different points in order to find a cleavage point that produces reversible fluorescence. These half proteins will then be attached to proteins that revesibly associate.

Our project consists of a two-gene oscillator with coupling by an Autoinducer (AI). This system was presented last year. We will test the effects of adding AI and Tetracycline to the medium. We will also investigate the nature of the oscillations at different cell densities.
