NanoLuc (Nluc) luciferase is a small enzyme (19.1kDa) engineered for optimal performance as a luminescent reporter. The pNL1.1[Nluc] and pNL1.2[NlucP] Vectors are used to clone putative promoter regions to express the bright NanoLuc(R) luciferase.

NanoLuc (Nluc) luciferase is a small enzyme (19.1kDa) engineered for optimal performance as a luminescent reporter. The enzyme is about 100-fold brighter than either firefly (Photinus pyralis) or Renilla reniformis luciferase using a novel substrate, furimazine, to produce high intensity, glow-type luminescence. The luminescent reaction is ATP-independent and designed to suppress background luminescence for maximal assay sensitivity. The pNL1.1[Nluc] and pNL1.2[NlucP] Vectors are used for cloning putative promoter regions and used for transient transfection experiments. For use as a genetic reporter, multiple forms of NanoLuc luciferase have been configured to meet differing experimental objectives. Unfused Nluc offers maximal light output and sensitivity, NanoLuc-PEST (NlucP) closely couples protein expression to changes in transcriptional activity and increased signal-to background ratios, and NanoLuc luciferase fused to an N-terminal secretion signal (secNluc) is suitable when a secreted reporter is preferred. Luminescence is linearly proportional to the amount of NanoLuc protein over a 1,000,000-fold concentration range, with a signal half-life >/=2 hours when detected with Nano-Glo Luciferase Assay Reagent. NanoLuc luciferase possesses a number of physical properties that make it an excellent reporter protein: 1) very small, monomeric enzyme (171 amino acids; 513bp); 2) high thermal stability (Tm = 60
