Do you want to use this construct for promoter analysis (i.e., are you going
to clone a putative promoter element 5' to the luciferase gene and measure
luciferase activity after transfection)?  If so, I have a luciferase 
construct that can be used for this purpose that does not rely upon the
presence of any particular restriction site.  The method requires the 
amplification of the promoter element using vector specific primers.  If you
are interested in the method/vector, let me know.
