Abstract

To test the utility of green fluorescent protein (GFP) as an in vivo reporter protein when fused to a membrane domain, we made a fusion protein between yeast hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and GFP. Fusion proteins displayed spatial localization and regulated degradation consistent with the native hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase proteins. Thus, GFP should be useful in the study of both membrane protein localization and protein degradation in vivo.
