title: <b>Bioprospecting Novel Luciferase Genes from Museum Coleoptera</b>

description: Museum collections of Coleoptera contain genetic material of potential interest to biotechnology, and non-destructive DNA extraction enables the preservation of important specimens with concomitant release of mitochondrial and genomic DNA. Mini-barcoding of regions of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (MT-COI) gene helps identify and eliminate known species from further investigation. Consensus Degenerate Hybrid Oligonucleotide (CODEHOP) primers targeting the region of the luciferase gene spanning the fourth exon, intron, and fifth exon were used to detect luciferase gene content and eliminate samples containing known luciferase sequences. Biotinylated luciferase gene probes from the firefly \textit{Photinus pyralis} enabled the enrichment of potential luciferase gene fragments for next-generation sequencing. A bioinformatic analysis suite was then used to identify a luciferase gene sequence from a previously unidentified firefly originally collected in Costa Rica in 2012. We demonstrate that this newly discovered luciferase, termed CRLuc, catalyses a bioluminescent reaction and we determined its emission spectra, Km for the substrates ATP and D-luciferin, and pH stability.The files uploaded relate to the following folders:Bioluminescence Activity Screening - E. coli has a Primary Screen folder containing 'Costa Rica Luc gBlock 100ul spread plate DLH2 .bvr, .cri, .trp and .pxl files which can be opened with M3Vision software. There is also a Secondary Screen folder which contains different wavelength acquisitions again analysable using M3Vision; 455, 480, 505, 530, 555, 580, 605, 630, 655, 680, 705, 730, 755, 780, Open1 and open2.A word file contains DNA sequences for CODEHOP Sanger Sequencing.Determination of Kinetic Constraints - ATP has a CRLuc folder containing Excel files with ATP concentrations from 0.1uM to 1000uM and ATP plots.

B 449. Size 8 in. by 6 in.; foll.59. Twenty-five lines in a page.

A fragment of a work on Ethics and Politics, which, according to its subdivisions, seems to be العقد الفريد , by MUḤAMMAD B. ṬALḤAH Ḳurashî1 (d. A.H. 652 = 1254-55 CE) [= Abū Sālim al-Naṣībī, Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah]. Cf. Ḥ. Kh. iv. 232; Casiri i. 215 [= Miguel Casiri, Bibliotheca Arabico-Hispana Escurialensis (2 vols, Madrid, 1760–1770)]; Catal. Mus. Brit. 659.

This fragment begins near the end of the first part (قاعدة), with the words:

فلما رآنى قد تقربت منه.

Fol. 5v. begins the second part as follows:

 القاعدة الثانية فى السلطنة و الولايات

A defect after fol. 47. The rest complete.

Written alternately by two hands. Corrections, and the various readings of another MS., are added on the margin.

Signature of ‘Abd al-raḥmân b. al-‘Aidarûs on the last page.

 

1 Ḥ. Kh. calls him Abu Sâlim M.b.Ṭ. Ḳurashî Niṣîbî, the Wazîr. Casiri gives his name as Shams al-dîn Abu ‘Abdallah M. b. Ṭ. Miṣrî Shâfi’î.



[ed. note: The author appears to be Abū Sālim al-Naṣībī, Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah, 1186 or 1187-1254 or 1255; found also as Abū Sālim Kamāl al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ṭalḥah ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Qurashī al-ʻAdawī al-Naṣībī al-Shāfiʻī (d. AH 652)].
