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.
