抄録

The emission of light in the marine ostracod Cypridina hilgendorfii (presently Vargula hilgendorfii) is produced by the Cypridina luciferin-luciferase reaction in the presence of molecular oxygen. Cypridina luciferin has an asymmetric carbon derived from isoleucine, and the absolute configuration is identical to the C-3 position in L-isoleucine or D-alloisoleucine. To determine the stereoselective incorporation of the isoleucine isomers (L-isoleucine, D-isoleucine, L-alloisoleucine, and D-alloisoleucine), we synthesized four 2H-labeled isoleucine isomers and examined their incorporation into Cypridina luciferin by feeding experiments. Judging by these results, L-isoleucine is predominantly incorporated into Cypridina luciferin. This suggests that the isoleucine unit of Cypridina luciferin is derived from L-isoleucine, but not from D-alloisoleucine.
