We introduce luciferases whose emission maxima can be tuned to different wavelengths by chemical labeling. The luciferases are chimeras of NanoLuc with either SNAP-tag or HaloTag7. Labeling of the self-labeling tag with a fluorophore shifts the emission maximum of NanoLuc to that of the fluorophore. Luciferases with tunable colors have applications as reporter genes, for the construction of biosensors and in bioimaging.
