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

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