Application

Luciferase from Vibrio fischeri has been used in a study to assess kinetics of light emission and oxygen consumption by bioluminescent bacteria. It has also been used in a study to investigate the sensitivity of dark mutants of various strains of luminescent bacteria to reactive oxygen species.

Features and Benefits

Partially purified, soluble extracts containing FMN-dependent luciferase and NADH- and NADPH-dependent FMN reductases. Produces light in a system containing FMN, NADH or NADPH, and n-decyl aldehyde.

Other Notes

ATCC No. 7744 balance primarily buffer salts and stabilizer.

Bacterial luciferase from Vibrio harveyi is a heterodimer composed of a catalytic alpha subunit and a homologous but noncatalytic beta subunit. Despite decades of enzymological investigation, structural evidence defining the active center has been elusive. We report here the crystal

Unlike the vast majority of flavoenzymes, bacterial luciferase requires an exogenous source of reduced flavin mononucleotide for bioluminescence activity. Within bioluminescent bacterial cells, species-specific oxidoreductases are believed to provide reduced flavin for luciferase activity. The source of reduced flavin in
