Claim Text:
1. A recombinant polynucleotide comprising a gene encoding a luciferase mutant having a luciferase activity, wherein said luciferase mutant is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a luciferase mutant consisting of an amino acid sequence in which at least one amino acid selected from amino acids at the positions of 1 to 4 is deleted in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a luciferase mutant consisting of an amino acid sequence in which at least one amino acid selected from amino acids at the positions of 1 to 4 is deleted in the amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID NO: 2 and an amino acid sequence excluding the amino acids at the positions of 1 to 4 is an amino acid sequence in which 1 to 17 amino acids are deleted, substituted, inserted and/or added in the amino acid sequence at the positions of 5 to 169 of SEQ ID NO: 2; and (c) a luciferase mutant consisting of an amino acid sequence in which at least one amino acid selected from amino acids at the positions of 1 to 4 is deleted in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 and an amino acid sequence excluding the amino acids at the positions of 1 to 4 has at least 90% identity to the amino acid sequence at the positions of 5 to 169 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
