Although the beta-subunit is required for activity, the catalytic site resides exclusively on the alpha-subunit. The most substantial compositional difference between subunits corresponds to a highly conserved stretch of residues between positions 260 and 290 unique to the alpha chains of luminous bacteria. In the luciferase/FMN complex, the asymmetric unit contains two beta/alpha-heterodimers 711486 1.14.14.3 homodimer 2 * 77000, SDS-PAGE 728017 1.14.14.3 homodimer 2 * 77800, calculated from amino acid sequence 728017
