Coexpression of luxA and luxB genes of Vibrio fischeri in NIH3T3 mammalian cells and evaluation of its bioluminescence activities.
Expression of bacterial luciferase enzyme (lux) in eukaryotic cells would provide a new bioreporter system for in vivo imaging and diagnostics technology. In spite of this, until now only a few efforts have been made to express bacterial luciferase enzyme in eukaryotic cells. We attempted to synthesize an expression construct of luxA and luxB genes from Vibrio fischeri. The luxA and luxB genes ...
متن کاملDifferential transfers of reduced flavin cofactor and product by bacterial flavin reductase to luciferase.
It is believed that the reduced FMN substrate required by luciferase from luminous bacteria is provided in vivo by NAD(P)H-FMN oxidoreductases (flavin reductases). Our earlier kinetic study indicates a direct flavin cofactor transfer from Vibrio harveyi NADPH-preferring flavin reductase P (FRP(H)) to the luciferase (L(H)) from the same bacterium in the in vitro coupled luminescence reaction. Ki...
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 کاملLuxCDABE—Transformed Constitutively Bioluminescent Escherichia coli for Toxicity Screening: Comparison with Naturally Luminous Vibrio fischeri
We show that in vitro toxicity assay based on inhibition of the bioluminescence of recombinant Escherichia coli encoding thermostable luciferase from Photorhabdus luminescens is a versatile alternative to Vibrio fischeri Microtox™ test. Performance of two luxCDABE-transformed E. coli MC1061 constructs (pDNlux) and (pSLlux) otherwise identical, but having 100-fold different background luminescen...
متن کاملCommunal Living by Bacteria and the Pathogenesis of Urinary Tract Infections
I n this issue of PLoS Medicine, Rosen and colleagues [1] present convincing evidence that intracellular communities of Escherichia coli commonly exist and are likely of to be of clinical significance in uncomplicated bacterial cystitis. This novel finding is remarkable in many respects, not the least of which is the circuitous route by which our understanding about bacterial communities has ev...
