ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to biotinated firefly luciferase comprising a biotinated peptide and firefly luciferase linked therein, biotinated firefly luciferase having a specific amino acid sequence, a biotinated firefly luciferase gene comprising a gene coding for a biotinated peptide and a firefly luciferase gene linked therein, a biotinated firefly luciferase gene comprising a biotinated peptide gene coding for a specific amino acid sequence and a firefly luciferase gene linked therein, a recombinant DNA comprising said biotinated firefly luciferase gene inserted into a vector DNA, a process for producing biotinated firefly luciferase comprising culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia carrying said recombinant DNA and then recovering the resulting biotinated firefly luciferase from the culture, a bioluminescent analysis method comprising using said biotinated firefly luciferase, and a bioluminescent analysis method comprising quantifying a ligand by measuring a biotinated receptor by the use of said biotinated firefly luciferase.
According to the present invention, there are provided biotinated firefly luciferase, a biotinated firefly luciferase gene, a recombinant DNA, a process for producing biotinated firefly luciferase and a bioluminescent analysis method. The present invention enables the efficient production of biotinated firefly luciferase of uniform properties with the uniform structure of firefly luciferase in which one biotin molecule has been bound to a specific residue and whose activity is hardly lost by biotination and not lost even binding to streptoavidin or avidin, and the biotinated firefly luciferase of constant properties obtained in the present invention permits highly sensitive measurements in bioluminescent analysis as compared with the conventional chemically modified biotinated firefly luciferase so that the present invention is industrially extremely useful.
