We have cloned the cDNA for luciferase from lantern poly(A)+ RNA of a Japanese firefly, Luciola cruciara (Genji botaru in Japanese). This cDNA directed the synthesis of enzymatically active luciferase under the control of the lac promoter in Escherichia coli. The amino acid sequence predicted from t
A DNA segment carrying the full-length, intronless firefly luciferase gene was inserted into the high expression secretion vector, pIN-Wr -ompA. Upon induction of gene expression, luciferase activity was detected in extracts prepared from periplasmic fractions. The results indicated that the OmpA s
A 1.5 kb plasmid-encoded lysostaphin gene fragment of Staphylococcus staphylolyticus was amplified by polymerase chain reaction OPCR) and cloned in Escherichia coli by using plasmid pET29b(+) as an expression vector. By optimizing culture conditions, the activities of lysostaphin were expressed as 6
A ColE1-based plasmid for transcriptional gene fusions was constructed that contains both the promoterless luxAB genes of Vibrio harveyi and a tet marker within the inverted repeats of a left end-truncated Tn5 element. Introduction of this plasmid into an Escherichia coli strain containing a plasmid
