RESUMO
We developed a binary vector co-expressing firefly luciferase (FF) and Renilla luciferase (REN) to detect protein stability in response to different stimuli, and verified the functionality of the vector. The StrigoQuant-like reporter expressing FF and REN in one transcript is a sensitive tool for detecting protein abundance in different genotypes. However, we found that significant differences in the relative FF/REN ratio of empty StrigoQuant vector in different genotypes. Therefore, to determine the actual protein abundance, the relative FF/REN ratio of the protein of interest should be normalized to that of the empty vector.
