Bioluminescence and chemiluminescence literature—Luciferase reporter genes—Lux and Luc

The following references encompass a review of recent literature where the in vivo expression of eukaryotic and/or prokaryotic luciferases provide for sensitive reporters of cellular activity. The list is subdivided into prokaryotic and eukaryotic applications. We have included the uses of luciferases in elucidating the control of gene expression or for monitoring cell viability. We have not included papers cited by Stanley and Stewart (J Biolumin Chemilumin 1990; 5:141–52) nor have we included papers on the structure and regulation of luciferases as this now substantial literature will be the subject of a future review. References cited in both this review and previous ones are referred to by the number assigned to them in the earlier review.     

Luminescence Literature

The journal provides comprehensive literature searches on all aspects of luminescence which will be published in most issues. These lists have been produced regularly since 1986—some by year and some by specialized topic. This survey of papers on green fluorescent protein and imaging is drawn from the 2000 literature and covers reagents, assay development and validation, and applications and supplements the previous survey (J. Biolumin. Chemilumin. 1997; 12 : 113–34). The 2000 Literature Compiled by L. J. Kricka (kricka@mail.med.upenn.edu) and P. E. Stanley (stanley@lumiweb.com)

Nonradioactive DNA detection on Southern blots by enzymatically triggered chemiluminescence

A chemiluminescent reaction based on the deprotection of a phosphorylated phenyl dioxetane by alkaline phosphatase has recently been described (Schaap, A.P., 1988, J. Biolumin. Chemilumin. 2, 253). Light output is enhanced by intermolecular energy transfer to a micelle-solubilized fluorophore. This system is applied here to the detection of DNA probes on Southern blots. Enzyme solution assays which give an indication of sensitivity show that using this substrate 100 fg (0.7 amol) alkaline phosphatase can be detected on a luminescence plate reader (200 ms reading time). In a model Southern blotting system 180 fg HindIII digested lambda DNA was detected on film with homologous biotinylated DNA and a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase complex. The single copy genes mos and raf-1, representing targets of 4.2 and 2.4 pg target DNA respectively, have also been detected in Southern-blotted human genomic DNA. A delay in reaching a plateau level of light output which is dependent on pH is observed but signal continues for at least 7 days. Typically, 12-h exposures to X-ray film were performed but once a steady-state light output had been achieved this time could be reduced to 2 h by preflashing film. This detection system represents a sensitive nonradioactive method, which is applicable not only to Southern blots but also to Northern and Western blots and any assay in which alkaline phosphatase is the label.     

Effect of phospholipid acyl chain modulation on vitamin E incorporation into pulmonary artery endothelial cell membranes

Incorporation of vitamin E (α-tocopherol) was measured in total membranes of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAEC) following treatment with eight synthetic phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) (Palmitoyloleoyl, 16:0–18:1 PE₁; distearoyl, 18:0–18:0 PE₂; dioleoyl, 18:1–18:1 PE₃; stearoyl- linoleoyl, 18:0–18:2 PE₄; dilinoleoyl, 18:2–18:2 PE₅; stearoyl-arachiod-nyl, 18:0–20:4 PE₆; diarachidonyl, 20:4–20:4 PE₇; and stearoyl-docosahexenoyl, 18:0–22:6 PE₈). Endogenous PE content of native membranes was 0.88 ± 0.01 nmol/mg protein. Incorporation of PE irrespective of fatty acid content significantly (P < 0.02) increased the PE content of total membranes. Vitamin E incorporation in control membranes was 63 ± 9 nmol/mg protein. Incorporations of vitamin E in PE₁- to PE₇-treated cells were significantly (P < 0.05) increased compared to controls and were comparable to each other. Vitamin E incorporation into PE₈-treated cells was threefold greater (P < 0.001) thatn controls and twofold greater (P < 0.001) than PE₁- to PE₇-treated cells. Increased PE content results in increased vitamin E incorporation into PAEC membranes irrespective of the fatty acids present on the acyl chain, and maximal incorporation of vitamin E in PE₈-treated cells may relate to the increased carbon chain length rather than to the degree of unsaturation at the sn₂ position. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Reproductive biology of the mosquitofish in a permanent natural lagoon in south-west Spain: two tactics for one species

Introduced Gambusia holbrooki in a natural lagoon of southern Spain consisted of two age groups: 1992 cohort, 7-11 months old and 1993 cohort, <4 months old. In the 1992 cohort, females grew even during the gestation period at about 0·30 mm day^-1. In the 1993 cohort, females displayed a high growth rate (0·55 mm day^-1) and reached reproductive size in a few weeks, but stopped growing when they matured. All the 1992 cohort reproduced from mid-May to mid-June, but only 50% of the 1993 cohort reproduced, from mid-August to mid-September. Reproducing females were significantly larger in the 1992 cohort (39·8 mm) than in the 1993 one (34·8 mm). The largest 1992 females cohort had reproduced previously; the 1993 cohort had not. The mean dry weight of intra-ovarian embryos decreased to a minimum immediately before birth. These metabolic costs represented 29·8 and 31·4% of the initial weights of the 1992 and 1993 embryos, respectively. Mean dry weight of full-term embryo was significantly higher in the 1992 cohort (0·80 ± 0·129 mg; 95% CL) than in the 1993 one (0·70 ± 0·086 mg; 95% CL). With more females in 1992, cohort fecundity was considerably higher (number of embryos=7151; 63%) than in the 1993 (4193; 37%) cohort. The population completed two generations each year (spring and summer). The spring stock grew slower than the summer one but continued to grow during the gestation period, reaching larger final lengths, with more synchronous reproduction and clearer evidence of a second reproductive event. Each reproductive stock displayed its own life-history characteristics, with significant differences between mean length of reproducing females, growth rate, mean brood size, offspring size, standard fecundity and minimum length at reproduction.

Characteristic high- and low-frequency dental traits in sub-Saharan African populations

In an earlier investigation (Irish [1993] Biological Affinities of Late Pleistocene Through Modern African Aboriginal Populations: The Dental Evidence [Ann Arbor: University Microfilms]), biological affinities of 32 sub-Saharan and North African dental samples were estimated using comparative analyses of 36 dental morphological traits. Marked dental homogeneity was revealed among samples within each of the two geographic regions, but significant interregional differences were noted. Assuming dental phenetic expression approximates or is an estimate of genetic variation, the present study of 976 sub-Saharan-affiliated Africans indicates they are not closely related to other world groups; they are characterized by numerous morphologically complex crown and root traits. Turner ([1984] Acta Anthropogenetica 8:23–78; [1985] in R Kirk and E Szathmary (eds.): Out of Asia: Peopling the Americas and the Pacific [Canberra: The Journal of Pacific History], pp. 31–78; [1990] Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 82:295–318; [1992] Persp. Hum. Biol. 2/Archaeol. Oceania 27:120–127; [1992] in T Akaszawa, K Aoki, and T Kimura (eds.): The Evolution and Dispersal of Modern Humans in Asia [Tokyo: Hokusen-Sha Publishing Co.], pp. 415–438) reports that Northeast Asian/New World sinodonts also have complex teeth relative to Europeans, Southeast Asian sundadonts, Australian/Tasmanians, and Melanesians. However, sinodonty is characterized by UI1 winging, UI1 shoveling, UI1 double shoveling, one-rooted UP1, UM1 enamel extension, M3 agenesis, and three-rooted LM1. Sub-Saharan peoples exhibit very low frequencies of these features. It is proposed that the collection of dental traits which best differentiate sub-Saharan Africans from other worldwide samples includes high frequencies of the Bushman Canine, two-rooted UP1, UM1 Carabelli's trait, three-rooted UM2, LM2 Y-groove pattern, LM1 cusp 7, LP1 Tome's root, two-rooted LM2, UM3 presence, and very low incidences of UI1 double shoveling and UM1 enamel extension. This suite of diagnostic traits is termed the sub-Saharan African dental complex. Am J Phys Anthropol 102:455–467, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
