The complete amino acid sequence of the Ca 2+-triggered luciferin binding protein (LBP) of
Renilla reniformis has been determined. The apoprotein has an unblocked amino terminus …

The Renilla bioluminescent system in vivo is comprised of three proteins—the luciferase,
green-fluorescent protein, and coelenterazine-binding protein (CBP), previously called …

A Ca2+-triggered luciferin-binding protein (BP-LH2) from the bioluminescent marine
coelenterate, Renilla reniformis, has been purified by conventional methods. One kilogram …

James Michael Anderson, Harry Charbonneau, and Milton J. Cormier* abstract: When
extracts of bioluminescent Anthozoans, such as Renilla, are prepared in the presence of …

The Ca2+-triggered luciferin-binding protein of Renilla reniformis (RLBP) is a non-covalent
complex of apoprotein (apoRLBP) and coelenterazine (luciferin). The gene encoding …

The binding properties of Ca 2+ to EF-hand I of aequorin (AQ) were characterized by
replacing the loop sequence of EF-hand I (AQ [I]) with other known loop sequences of Ca 2+ …

The Ca (II)-dependent photoprotein aequorin produces the luminescence of the marine
coelenterate Aequorea victoria. The complete amino acid sequence of aequorin has been …

Photoproteins, which emit light in an oxygen-independent intramolecular reaction initiated
by calcium ions, have been isolated from several bioluminescent organisms, including the …

The luminescent jellyfish Aequorea contains a photoprotein, aequorin, which emits light by
an intramolecular reaction in the presence of a trace amount of Ca2+. A cDNA library of …

Clytin is a member of the aequorin family of photoproteins. It is made up of 189 amino acid
residues, contains 3 Ca 2+-binding sites, and shows 62% homology in amino acid residues …
