  • Construction and expression of renilla luciferase and green fluorescent protein fusion genes
    Patent number: 5976796
    Abstract: A fusion gene is provided comprising the cDNA of Renilla luciferase and the cDNA of the "humanized" Aequorea green fluorescent protein. The fusion gene was used to produce a novel protein, the "Renilla-GFP fusion protein," which displayed both the luciferase activity of Renilla luciferase, and the green fluorescence of GFP. The Renilla-GFP fusion gene is useful as a double marker for monitoring gene expression quantitatively in UV light and by enzyme activity.
