Light-dependent and circadian transcription dynamics in vivo recorded with a destabilized luciferase reporter in Neurospora.

We show that firefly luciferase is a stable protein when expressed at 25 °C in Neurospora, which limits its use as transcription reporter. We created a short-lived luciferase by fusing a PEST signal to its C-terminus (LUC-PEST) and applied the LUC-PEST reporter system to record in vivo transcription...
