"Relationship of the luminous bacterial symbiont of the Caribbean flashlight fish, Kryptophanaron alfredi (family Anomalopidae) to other luminous bacteria based on bacterial luciferase (luxA) genes.";
Arch. Microbiol. 154:496-503(1990).

Comments

FUNCTION: Light-emitting reaction in luminous bacteria. The specific role of the beta subunit is unknown, but it is absolutely required for bioluminescence activity.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: RCHO + reduced FMN + O₂ = RCOOH + FMN + H₂O + light.
SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta chain.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bacterial luciferase oxidoreductase family.
