A homologous gene of beetle luciferase, AbLL (Agrypnus binodulusluciferase-like gene) was isolated from a Japanese non-luminous click beetle, A. binodulus, and its gene product was characterized. The identity of amino acid sequence deduced from AbLL with the click beetle luciferase from the Jamaican luminous click beetle, Pyrophorus plagiophthalmus, is 55%, which is higher than that between click beetle luciferase and firefly luciferase ( approximately 48%). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that AbLL places in a clade of beetle luciferases, suggesting that AbLL is an orthologous gene of beetle luciferase. The gene product of AbLL (AbLL) has medium- and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase activity, but not luciferase activity. The fatty acyl-CoA synthetic activity was slightly inhibited in the presence of beetle luciferin, suggesting that AbLL has poor affinity for beetle luciferin. By comparing the amino acid residues of the catalytic domains in beetle luciferases with AbLL, the key substitutions for the luminescence activity in beetle luciferase will be proposed.
