ENTRY       EC 1.13.12.8
NAME        Watasemia-luciferin 2-monooxygenase
            Watasemia-type luciferase
            Luciferase
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen
            (oxygenases)
            With incorporation of one atom of oxygen (internal monooxygenases
            or internal mixed function oxidases)
SYSNAME     Watasenia-luciferin:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
REACTION    Watasenia luciferin + O2 = Oxidized Watasenia luciferin + CO2 + hv
SUBSTRATE   Watasenia luciferin
            O2
PRODUCT     Oxidized Watasenia luciferin
            CO2
            hv
COMMENT     Luciferin from the luminous squid Watasenia is 8-(phenylmethyl)-6-
            -(4-sulfooxyphenyl)-2-[(4-sulfo-oxyphenyl)methyl]imidazo[1,2a]-
            pyrazin-3(7H)-one.  The enzyme may be assayed be measurement of
            light emission.
