luciferase for yeast?

[Wolfgang Fecke]

Hi,

are there any reporter genes available (apart from the common 
b-galactosidase/X-gal system) which do NOT select for growth (like HIS3 
or LEU2)? Does anyone have experience with the luciferase gene in yeast? 
I am studying transcriptional activation with the lacZ gene in yeast and 
would like to have a good control.

Any hints are welcome!
