hUBC-Kozak-cLuc

This is a constitutive reporter consisting of the hUBC promoter followed by the gene coding for Cypridina luciferase (cLuc), an enzyme that plays an important role in bioluminescence. cLuc that is expressed in cells can be secreted into the culturing media, which allows it to be used as a dynamic reporter for the concentration of the compound of interest. In between these two sequences is the Kozak sequence, which provides a start point for eukaryotic translation. This construct was added to a pcDNA5 plasmid and was created as one of our constitutive reporters; it will be used as a construct into which we insert our dhdO binding sequences in order to build a dynamic reporter for the compound D-2-HG.

-This is a constitutive reporter consisting of the hUBC promoter followed by the gene coding for Cypridina luciferase (CLuc), an enzyme that plays an important role in bioluminescence. In order to do this, it cleaves its substrate, vargulin, which produces a luminescent molecule. CLuc that is expressed in cells can be secreted into the culturing media, which allows it to be used as a dynamic reporter for the concentration of the compound of interest. This reporter can be used as a luminescence-based constitutive reporter to quantitatively and non-invasively assess cell behavior.
