Incomplete proteasomal degradation of green fluorescent proteins in the context of tandem fluorescent protein timers
Tandem fluorescent protein timers (tFTs) fusions of red and green fluorescent proteins facilitate studies of intracellular protein dynamics. Various green fluorescent proteins are resistant to proteasomal degradation, and incomplete degradation affects tFT behavior. Simple guidelines are given for the design of new tFTs.
