The invention relates to recombinant polynucleotides encoding the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from R. reniformis, as well as polynucleotides encoding variants and fusion polypeptides of R. reniformis GFP. The invention further relates to vectors encoding R. Reniformis GFP and variants and fusions thereof, as well as to cells comprising and/or expressing such vectors. The invention also relates to recombinant R. reniformis GFP polypeptides and fusion polypeptides and variants thereof, as well as to methods of making and using such polypeptides both in vivo and in vitro.
