Abstract
A key component of the recently described bioluminescent system of higher fungi is luciferase, a new class of proteins. The properties of fungal luciferase and their relationship with its structure are interesting both for improving autoluminescent systems already created on its basis and for creating new ones. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand the spatial structure of this protein. We have performed heterologous expression and purification of Neonothopanus nambi luciferase, obtained a protein suitable for subsequent crystallization, and also determined some biochemical properties of the recombinant luciferase.Entities:
