42 Abstract The present invention is directed to
nucleic acid molecules which
encode novel
luciferases, functional fragments thereof, homologs and mutants, as well as to proteins encoded by said nucleic acids. The
nucleic acid molecules of interest are isolated from fungi or obtained by
genetic engineering methods. Also, host cells, stable
cell lines and transgenic organisms comprising said
nucleic acid molecules are provided. In addition, antibodies specific to the proteins of the present invention are provided. Said proteins and nucleic acids are used in many applications and methods, in particular, in
labelling organisms, cells, cellular organelles, or proteins. Also, said
protein and
nucleotide compositions are used in methods for detecting
protein-
protein interactions, for testing
promoter activity under various conditions. Finally, provided are kits for the use of proteins and nucleic acids of the present invention in the diversity of methods and applications. Abstract The present invention is directed to nucleic acid molecules which
