我们使用了依赖HCV IRES表达萤火虫荧光素酶的报告基因质粒。

We used a reporter gene plasmid in which firefly luciferase expression is dependent on the HCV IRES.

首先，萤火虫吸氧通过特殊的细胞与一种叫荧光素的物质结合就会几乎毫不放热的发出光亮。

The insects take in oxygen and, inside special cells, combine it with a substance called luciferin to produce light with almost no heat.

去年，丘奇的研究团队通过自组装获得了合成核糖体，并产生了荧光素酶，这种蛋白质可以使萤火虫发光。

Though they haven’t published their results yet, last year his team got a synthetic ribosome to self-assemble and produce luciferase, the protein that makes fireflies glow.
