Kinetics of the thermal inactivation and the refolding of bacterial luciferases in Bacillus subtilis and in Escherichia coli differ.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Here we present a study of the thermal inactivation and the refolding of the proteins in Gram positive Bacillus subtilis. To enable use of bacterial luciferases as the models for protein thermal inactivation and refolding in B.

Sensitive dual color in vivo bioluminescence imaging using a new red codon optimized firefly luciferase and a green click beetle luciferase. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Despite a plethora of bioluminescent reporter genes being cloned and used for cell assays and molecular imaging purposes, the simultaneous monitoring of multiple events in small animals is still challenging. This is partly attributable to the

A panel of Trypanosoma brucei strains tagged with blue and red-shifted luciferases for bioluminescent imaging in murine infection models. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND:Genetic engineering with luciferase reporter genes allows monitoring Trypanosoma brucei (T.b.) infections in mice by in vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI). Until recently, luminescent T.b.

A higher spectral range of beetle bioluminescence with infraluciferin

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Coleopteran bioluminescence is unique in that beetle luciferases emit colors ranging between green (ca.550 nm) and red (ca.600 nm), including intermediate colors such as yellow and orange, allowing up to 3 simultaneous parameters to be resolved in vitro ...

Multicolor luciferase assay system: one-step monitoring of multiple gene expressions with a single substrate

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2005
Reporter assays that use luciferase are widely employed for monitoring cellular events associated with gene expression. In general, firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase are used for monitoring single gene expression.

Optimized application of the secreted Nano-luciferase reporter system using an affinity purification strategy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Secreted Nano-luciferase (secNluc) is a newly engineered secreted luciferase that possesses advantages of high structural stability, long half-life, and glow-type kinetics together with high light emission intensity, and thus would become one of the most

Clinical value of luciferase-based bioluminescence assay in diagnosis of Alport syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics
ObjectivesAlport syndrome (AS) is an inherited kidney disorder caused by pathogenic variants in COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5. In this study, we aim to apply a split-luciferase bioluminescence assay to functionally assess COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 variants ...

Photophore Distribution and Enzymatic Diversity Within the Photogenic Integument of the Cookie-Cutter Shark Isistius brasiliensis (Chondrichthyes: Dalatiidae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The cookie-cutter shark Isistius brasiliensis (Squaliformes: Dalatiidae) is a deep-sea species that emits a blue luminescence ventrally, except at the level of a black band located beneath the jaw.

Beetle luciferases with naturally red- and blue-shifted emission

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2018
New crystal structures of red- and green blue–shifted beetle luciferases reveal that the color emission mechanism is dependent on the active site microenvironment affected by the conformation of loop regions.

Reporter gene comparison demonstrates interference of complex body fluids with secreted luciferase activity

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Reporter gene assays are widely used to study cellular signaling and transcriptional activity. Few studies describe the use of reporter genes for studying cellular responses on complex body fluids, such as urine and blood.
