A protein having a labeling compound attached to its C-terminal, in which the
compound
comprises a label portion comprising a label substance and an acceptor portion
comprising a compound having an ability of binding to a C-terminal of a synthesized
protein when protein synthesis is carried out in a cell-free protein synthesis
system or in a living cell is provided. Also, a method for producing the protein
comprising the step of performing synthesis of a protein in a cell-free protein
synthesis system or in a living cell in the presence of a labeling compound comprising
a label portion comprising a label substance and an acceptor portion comprising
a compound having an ability of binding to a C-terminal of a synthesized protein
when protein synthesis is carried out in the cell-free protein synthesis system
or in the living cell, the labeling compound being present at a concentration effective
for the labeling compound to bind to the C-terminal of the synthesized protein
is provided. Also, the labeling compound and a method for analyzing a function
of a gene are further provided.
