Interaction of bacterial luciferase with 8-substituted flavin mononucleotide derivatives.
Bacterial luciferase catalyzes the emission of visible light from the reaction of reduced flavin, molecular oxygen, and an n-alkyl aldehyde. The mechanism of the reaction was probed by measuring the electronic effects of various substituents at the 8-position of the flavin ring system. Substituent effects were obtained for CH3-, Cl-, CH3O-, CH3S-, F-, and H- on the rate of formation and decay o...
متن کاملBioluminescence emission from the reaction of luciferase-flavin mononucleotide radical with O2-..
The blue neutral luciferase flavin radical has been shown not to be in a catalytically significant equilibrium with species leading to emission of light [Kurfürst, M., Ghisla, S., Presswood, R., & Hastings, J. W. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 123, 355-361]. It is shown here that this radical can nevertheless react with O2-. to form a species that is competent in light emission. From its properties, t...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the transient, luciferase-bound flavin-4a-hydroxide in the bacterial luciferase reaction
Procedures and conditions have been established such that the unstable enzyme-bound flavin intermediate produced in the bacterial luciferase reacti~ can be isolated as approximately 70% of the flavin product, the remaining being the final product, FMN. The structure of the intermediate is proposed to be that of a luciferase-bound 4a,5-dihydroflavin-4a-hydroxide. The intermediate has a half-life...
متن کاملDifferential transfers of reduced flavin cofactor and product by bacterial flavin reductase to luciferase.
It is believed that the reduced FMN substrate required by luciferase from luminous bacteria is provided in vivo by NAD(P)H-FMN oxidoreductases (flavin reductases). Our earlier kinetic study indicates a direct flavin cofactor transfer from Vibrio harveyi NADPH-preferring flavin reductase P (FRP(H)) to the luciferase (L(H)) from the same bacterium in the in vitro coupled luminescence reaction. Ki...
متن کاملInteraction of bacterial luciferase with aldehyde substrates and inhibitors.
Bacterial luciferase catalyzes the reaction of FMNH2, O2, and an aliphatic aldehyde to yield the carboxylic acid, FMN, water and blue-green light. The kinetics of the bacterial luciferase reaction were measured by stopped-flow spectrophotometry at pH 7 and 25 degrees C for the series of aldehydes from n-heptanal to n-undecanal. The rate of formation of the 4a-hydroperoxyflavin intermediate was ...
