Abstract excerpt
Mnemiopsin 1 is a member of photoprotein family, made up of 206 amino acid residues. These Ca(2+)-regulated photoproteins are responsible for light emission in a variety of marine cnidarians and ctenophores. They composed of an apoprotein, a single polypeptide chain of 25 kDa, molecular oxygen and the non-covalently bound chromophore. In this study, we examined whether three mutations, namely R39K, S128G and...
