Abstract
A novel luciferase that is distinct from conventional luciferase has been desired. A luciferase mutant comprising an amino acid sequence in which glutamic acid at position 4, arginine at position 11, leucine at position 18 and valine at position 27 are substituted with other amino acids, in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
Claims11
A recombinant luciferase mutant of (a) or (b) below:
- (a) a luciferase mutant comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 substituted at the positions consisting of:
- glutamic acid at position 4;
- arginine at position 11;
- leucine at position 18;
- and
- valine at position 27 or,
- (b) a luciferase mutant comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 substituted at the positions consisting of:
- glutamic acid at position 4;
- arginine at position 11;
- leucine at position 18;
- valine at position 27;
- and
- one or more amino acid(s) at position(s) other than at positions 4, 11, 18, 27, 33, 43, 44, 54, 68, 72, 75, 90, 115, 124, 138 and 166, and wherein the recombinant luciferase mutant has a luciferase activity.
