General description
The bioluminescent organism, Photinus pyralis firefly is the source of firefly lantern extract.[1] The luciferase enzyme is 60 kDa enzyme which lacks prosthetic group and bound metal in its structure.[2] The N-terminal harbors residues crucial for the bioluminescent activity and the C-terminal possess peroxisome targeting motif.[1]
Application
Fireflies have been used in several studies of bioluminescence. In particular they may be used in assays to determine toxicity pathways because bioluminescence can quantitatively measure a wide range of biological activities.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Firefly Lantern Extract containing luciferase catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation of luciferin (LH2) in the presence of ATP, oxygen and Mg2+ to yield a light-emitter oxyluciferin.[2]
Other Notes
Crude luciferin and luciferase
Reconstitution
After reconstitution with 25 mL of water, vial will contain 0.06 M potassium phosphate, pH 7.4, and 0.02 M MgSO4.
