molecular biology | Ppy luciferase can been used extensively as a reporter gene in living cells and organisms. Some biological applications are limited by the low stability of the luciferase and limited intracellular luciferin concentration. The mutant enzyme T214A/A215L/I232A/F295L/E345K/I423L/D436G/L530R exhibits both improved thermostability and brighter luminescence at low luciferin concentrations, it may be useful for reporter gene applications | Photinus pyralis |

I423L/D436G/L530R | the mutant shows a lower apparent Km value of 0.00076 mM than that of the wild-type enzyme | Photinus pyralis |
T214A/A215L/I232A/F295L/E345K | the mutant enzyme displays high thermostability, retaining about 60% activity after 120 min at 45°C. Although the mutant shows higher maximum activity at high D-luciferin concentrations, its activity at low D-luciferin concentrations (below 0.004 mM) lags behind that of the mutantI423L/D436G/L530R | Photinus pyralis |
