Non-oligomerizing fluorescent proteins, which are formed by operatively linking two or more monomers of a fluorescent protein, or which are derived from a fluorescent protein having at least one mutation that reduces or eliminates the ability of the fluorescent protein to oligomerize, are provided. The non-oligomerizing fluorescent proteins can be derived from a naturally occuring green fluorescent protein, a red fluorescent protein, or other fluorescent protein, or a fluorescent protein related thereto. Also provided is a fusion protein, which includes a non-oligomerizing fluorescent protein linked to at least one polypeptide of interest. In addition, a polynucleotide encoding a non-oligomerizing fluorescent protein is provided, as is a recombinant nucleic acid molecule, which includes polynucleotide encoding a non-oligomerizing fluorescent protein operatively linked to at least a second polynucleotide. Vectors and host cells containing such polynucleotides also are provided, as are kits containing one or more non- oligomerizing fluorescent proteins or encoding polynucleotides or constructs derived therefrom. Further provided are methods of making and using the proteins and polynucleotides

Cette invention concerne des protéines non oligomérisantes que l'on obtient par liaison fonctionnelle d'au moins deux monomères d'une protéine fluorescente, ou qui sont tirées d'une protéine fluorescente présentant au moins une mutation qui limite ou supprime son aptitude à oligomériser. Les protéines fluorescentes non oligomérisantes peuvent être tirées d'une protéine fluorescente verte naturelle (GFP), d'une protéine fluorescente rouge, d'une autre protéine fluorescente ou d'une protéine fluorescente apparentée. L'invention concerne également une protéine hybride qui comprend une protéine fluorescente non oligomérisante reliée à au moins un polypeptide d'intérêt. De plus l'invention porte sur un polynucléotide codant pour une protéine fluorescente non oligomérisante ainsi que sur une molécule d'acides nucléiques de recombinaison qui renferme un polynucléotide codant pour une protéine fluorescente non oligomérisante reliée à au moins un deuxième polynucléotide. L'invention concerne en outre des vecteurs et des cellules hôtes renfermant de tels polynucléotides ainsi que des kits renfermant une ou plusieurs protéines fluorescentes non oligmérisantes ou polynucléotides codants, ou des constructions obtenues à partir de ces protéines ou polynucléotides. Sont également décrites des méthodes d'utilisation de ces protéines et polynucléotides.
