Functional multiplex reporter assay using tagged Gaussia luciferase
We have developed a multiplex reporter system to monitor multiple biological variables in real-time. The secreted Gaussia luciferase was fused to ten different epitope tags (Gluc(tag)), each expressed in different tumor cells. By immunobinding of the tags followed by Gluc(tag) detection, this system allowed the independent and real-time monitoring of mixed cell cultures in vitro and of mixed su...
متن کاملMonitoring Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Homeostasis Using a Gaussia Luciferase SERCaMP.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contains the highest level of intracellular calcium, with concentrations approximately 5,000-fold greater than cytoplasmic levels. Tight control over ER calcium is imperative for protein folding, modification and trafficking. Perturbations to ER calcium can result in the activation of the unfolded protein response, a three-prong ER stress response mechanism, and c...
متن کاملExpression and Purification of the luciferase enzyme and in Vivo ATP Assay
Introduction: Gene expression and purification of luciferases from the firefly, Lampyris turkestanicus, and optimization of cellular ATP measurements were performed. Methods: cDNA encoding luciferases from Lampyris turkestanicus was transferred from pQE30 vector into pET28a expression vector and pLtu28 was built. Newly constructed vector was expressed in E. coli XL1 Blue and the recombinant l...
متن کاملSecreted Gaussia Luciferase as a Biomarker for Monitoring Tumor Progression and Treatment Response of Systemic Metastases
BACKGROUND Currently, only few techniques are available for quantifying systemic metastases in preclinical model. Thus techniques that can sensitively detect metastatic colonization and assess treatment response in real-time are urgently needed. To this end, we engineered tumor cells to express a naturally secreted Gaussia luciferase (Gluc), and investigated its use as a circulating biomarker f...
متن کاملLongitudinal monitoring of Gaussia and Nano luciferase activities to concurrently assess ER calcium homeostasis and ER stress in vivo
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is essential to many cellular processes including protein processing, lipid metabolism and calcium storage. The ability to longitudinally monitor ER homeostasis in the same organism would offer insight into progressive molecular and cellular adaptations to physiologic or pathologic states, but has been challenging. We recently described the creation of a Gaussia l...
