Abstract
Bioluminescence is one of the most beautiful and fascinating natural phenomena. Methods for biological and medical research and various techniques based on luciferin-luciferase reactions play an important role in modern science and are widely used from analytical methods in vitro and in vivo, including tests for various analytes, to real time bioimaging of live systems. Odontosyllis undecimdonta is a marine syllid polychaete that produces bright internal and exuded bioluminescence. Despite over fifty years of biochemical investigation into Odontosyllis bioluminescence, the light-emitting small molecule substrate and catalyzing luciferase protein have remained a mystery. Here we describe the O. undecimdonta luciferase, its amino acid sequence and some biochemical properties. Moreover, no homologous proteins in publicly available datasets were identified. This suggests that the syllid polychaetes possess an evolutionarily unique luciferase among all characterized luminous taxa.
