An ideal reporter should be stable itself and provide high sensitivity and yield. Here, we demonstrate that a coral (Galaxea fascicularis) thermostable GFP (TGP) is by such reasons an improved tag compared to the conventional jellyfish GFPs. TGP faithfully reports membrane protein stability at temperatures near 90 degrees C (20-min heating). By contrast, the limit for the two popular GFPs is 64 degrees C and 74 degrees C. Replacing GFPs with TGP increases yield for all four test membrane proteins in four expression systems. To establish TGP as an affinity tag for membrane protein purification, several high-affinity synthetic nanobodies (sybodies), including a non-competing pair, are generated, and the crystal structure of one complex is solved. Given these advantages, we anticipate that TGP becomes a widely used tool for membrane protein structural studies.
