<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polypeptide having a photogenic catalytic activity, consisting of less amino acid residues in the polypeptide having the photogenic catalytic activity by using luciferin as a photogenic substrate. <P>SOLUTION: The polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence consisting of a specific sequence of secretor luciferase originated from a shellfish living in deep sea. The polypeptide has the photogenic catalytic activity, and is useful as a reporter protein, a photogenic marker, etc. Also, a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide is useful as a reporter gene, etc. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
