A catechol 2,3-dioxygenase gene as a reporter
Abstract
A catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was expressed under the Simian virus 40 or Rous sarcoma virus promoter in mammalian cells; it was found that the gene could be used as a reporter for the study of gene expression. The C23O gene was a more sensitive reporter than the generally used beta-galactosidase gene.
