Figure 8.2. The synthetic Renilla luciferase gene supports higher expression than the native Renilla gene in mammalian cells. CHO<br />

<strong>and</strong> HeLa cells were transfected with pGL3-Control Vector (containing SV40 enhancer/promoter) harboring either the synthetic hRluc or<br />

native Rluc gene. Cells were harvested 24 hours after transfection <strong>and</strong> Renilla luciferase activity assayed using the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter<br />

Assay System.<br />

Figure 8.3. The firefly luc2 gene displays higher expression than the luc+ gene. The luc2 gene was cloned into the pGL3-Control Vector<br />

(Cat.# E1741), replacing the luc+ gene. Thus both firefly luciferase genes were in the same pGL3-Control Vector backbone. The two vectors<br />

containing either of the firefly luciferase genes were co-transfected into NIH/3T3, CHO, HEK 293 <strong>and</strong> HeLa cells using the phRL-TK Vector<br />

for a transfection control. Twenty-four hours post-transfection the cells were lysed with Passive Lysis 5X Buffer (Cat.# E1941) <strong>and</strong> luminescence<br />

was measured using the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System (Cat.# E1910). Relative light units were normalized to the Renilla luciferase<br />

expression from the phRL-TK Vector control. The fold increase in expression values is listed above each pair of bars. A repeat of this<br />

experiment yielded similar results.<br />

Figure 8.4. Reduced number of consensus transcription factor binding sites for the luc2 gene. The number of consensus transcription<br />

factor binding sites identified in the luc+ gene have been greatly reduced in the luc2 gene.<br />

Ideally, the reporter lifetime would be reduced to zero,<br />

completely eliminating the pooling of different<br />

transcriptional rates in each assay measurement. Only the<br />

transcription rate at the instant of the assay would be<br />

represented by the accumulation of reporter protein within<br />

the cells. Unfortunately, a zero lifetime would also yield<br />

zero accumulation, <strong>and</strong> thus no reporter could be measured.<br />

A compromise must be reached since, as lifetime reduces,<br />

so does the amount of reporter available for detection in<br />

the assay. This is where the high sensitivity of luminescent<br />

assays is useful. Relative to other reporter technologies, the<br />

intracellular stability of luciferase reporters may be greatly<br />

reduced without losing measurable signals. Thus, the high<br />

sensitivity of luciferase assays permits greater dynamics<br />

in the luciferase reporters.<br />
