M153R mutation in a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein stabilizes its fusion proteins.

BACKGROUND: Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its fusion proteins have been used extensively to monitor and analyze a wide range of biological processes. However, proteolytic cleavage often removes GFP from its fusion proteins, not only causing a poor signal-to-noise ratio of the fluorescent image...
