Photoactivable bioluminescent probes for imaging luciferase activityw
The firefly luciferase (fLuc) has been widely utilized for optical reporter gene imaging in biochemical assays, cell culture and living animals. fLuc can catalyze the oxidation of its substrate D-luciferin in the presence of O2, ATP, and Mg 2+ to generate the bioluminescence that can be imaged by a CCD camera. The luciferase based bioluminescence imaging technique displays low background and hi...
متن کاملA Novel Bioluminescent Protease Assay Using Engineered Firefly Luciferase
Proteases play important roles in a variety of disease processes. Understanding their biological functions underpins the efforts of drug discovery. We have developed a bioluminescent protease assay using a circularly permuted form of firefly luciferase, wherein the native enzyme termini were joined by a peptide containing a protease site of interest. Protease cleavage of these mutant luciferase...
متن کاملReversible decrease of oxygen consumption by hyperoxia.
The hemodynamic and metabolic effects of 90 minutes normobaric hyperoxia were studied in 20 critically ill patients (11 septic, 9 nonseptic) requiring mechanical ventilation with inspired O2 fraction (FIO2) less than 0.40. Thirty minutes after increasing the FIO2 to 1.0, arterial PO2 had increased from about 100 to about 400 mm Hg, and whole body oxygen uptake (VO2) was decreased 10 percent (p ...
متن کاملOxygen consumption by a coral reef sponge.
Oxygen consumption of the Red Sea coral reef sponge Negombata magnifica was measured using both incubation and steady-state methods. The latter method was found to be the more reliable because sponge activity remained stable over time. Oxygen consumption rate was measured during three levels of sponge activity: full activity, reduced activity and basal activity (starved). It was found that the ...
متن کاملAngiotensin II-dependent hypertension increases Na transport-related oxygen consumption by the thick ascending limb.
Renal medullary superoxide (O(2)(-)) increases in angiotensin (Ang) II-dependent hypertension. O(2)(-) increases thick ascending limb Na transport, but the effect of Ang II-dependent hypertension on the thick ascending limb is unknown. We hypothesized that Ang II-dependent hypertension increases thick ascending limb NaCl transport because of enhanced O(2)(-) production and increased protein kin...
