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.
铜绿假单胞菌的儿茶酚2,3-双加氧酶(C23O)基因在猿猴病毒40或劳斯肉瘤病毒启动子的调控下于哺乳动物细胞中表达;结果发现该基因可作为研究基因表达的报告基因。C23O基因是一种比常用的β-半乳糖苷酶基因更灵敏的报告基因。
