RFP_ENTQU
Function
Pigment protein.
Post-translational modifications
Contains a chromophore consisting of modified amino acid residues. The chromophore is formed by autocatalytic backbone condensation between Xaa-N and Gly-(N+2), oxidation of Tyr-(N+1) to didehydrotyrosine, and formation of a double bond to the alpha-amino nitrogen of residue Xaa-N. Maturation of the chromophore requires nothing other than molecular oxygen.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the GFP family.
