Аннотация: Photoprotein obelin, the enzyme-substrate complex of polypeptide with 2-hydroperoxycoelenterazine, is responsible for bioluminescence of marine hydroid Obelia longissima. Addition of Ca(2+) to the photoprotein triggers the bioluminescent reaction with light emission. The product of the bioluminescent reaction - enzyme-bound coelentПоказать полностьюeramide - is a fluorescent protein called 'discharged' obelin. It is stable and highly fluorescent. The paper considers dependence of its light-induced fluorescence on Ca2+ concentration. Increase of Ca(2+) concentration enhanced the fluorescence intensity of discharged obelin; the dependence was found as linear in double logarithmic coordinates at Ca(2+) concentration range 10(-7)-10(-6) M, both in excitation and emission spectra. The spectra were divided into components; contributions of the components to experimental excitation and emission spectra depended on Ca(2+) concentration. The data suggest enzymatic conformational transition in discharged obelin at similar to 5 x 10(-7) M of Ca(2+) concentration. Spectra variations were attributed to acidity changes of discharged obelin chromophore (coelenteramide) in its fluorescent state S. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
