List of Gateway vectors for the BiFC assay

Enhanced cyan fluorecent protein (ECFP), EGFP, EYFP and monomeric RFP1 (mRFP1) can be divided into two fragments. The letters ‘n’ and ‘c’ represent N- or C-terminal fragments of a split fluorescent protein, and the letters ‘C’, ‘G’, ‘Y’ and ‘R’ represent the type of fluorescent protein (ECFP, EGFP, EYFP or mRFP1). Since the nucleotide sequences of C-terminal CFP and C-terminal GFP are identical, the fragment is designated as cCG. The N- and C-terminal fragment from mRFP1 contain myc- and hemagglutinin-epitope tags, respectively.
