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.

Triple Bioluminescence Imaging for In Vivo Monitoring of Cellular Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) has shown to be crucial for monitoring in vivo biological processes. So far, only dual bioluminescence imaging using firefly (Fluc) and Renilla or Gaussia (Gluc) luciferase has been achieved due to the lack of availability ...

Ricin trafficking in plant and mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ricin is a heterodimeric plant protein that is potently toxic to mammalian and many other eukaryotic cells. It is synthesized and stored in the endosperm cells of maturing Ricinus communis seeds (castor beans).

Luminescence- and fluorescence-based complementation assays to screen for GPCR oligomerization : current state of the art [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have the propensity to form homo- and heterodimers. Dysfunction of these dimers has been associated with multiple diseases, e.g., pre-eclampsia, schizophrenia, and depression, among others.

Gaussia Luciferase for Bioluminescence Tumor Monitoring in Comparison with Firefly Luciferase [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Imaging, 2011
Gaussia luciferase (Gluc) is a secreted reporter, and its expression in living animals can be assessed by in vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI) or blood assays. We characterized Gluc as an in vivo reporter in comparison with firefly luciferase (Fluc). Mice were inoculated subcutaneously with tumor cells expressing both Fluc and Gluc and underwent Flue

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.

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.

Chemical Genetics Identify eIF2α Kinase Heme Regulated Inhibitor as Anti-Cancer Target [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Translation initiation plays a critical role in cellular homeostasis, proliferation, differentiation and malignant transformation. Consistently, increasing the abundance of the eIF2·GTP·Met-tRNAi translation initiation complex transforms normal cells and

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 ...

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
