The bioluminescence in different organisms arises from the exothermic reaction in which enzymes known as luciferases catalyze the oxidation of organic substrates known as luciferins, resulting in electronically excited products and production of light with high efficiency. Several bioluminescente systems have been investigated and their biochemistry is well known. In Diptera, two distinct…
Recently we cloned an AMP-CoA-ligase with weak luminescence activity in the presence of D-luciferin from the Malpighian tubules of the non-luminescenct Zophobas morio (Coleóptera: Tenebrionidae). The presence of endoplasmic reticulum signal, the ocurrence of the enzyme in the Malpighian tubules,the ligasic and oxidative reactions with the xenbiotic D-luciferin, and the promiscuous activit…
