Abstract
A novel Lysinibacillus strain, designated KH24T, was isolated from the gut of Siganus fuscescens, a herbivorous fish, which was captured off the coast of Okinawa, Japan. Strain KH24T is a rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, and motile bacterium that forms off-white colonies. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KH24T showed the highest similarity (97.4%) with Lysinibacillus pakistanensis JCM 18776T and L. irui IRB4-01T. Genomic similarities between strain KH24T and Lysinibacillus type strains, based on average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization (genome-to-genome distance calculation), and average amino acid identity were 70.4-77.7%, 17.1-24.4%, and 69.2-81.2%, respectively, which were lower than species delineation thresholds. Strain KH24T growth occurred at pH values of 5.5-8.5, temperatures of 20-40 °C, and NaCl concentrations of 0-4.0%, and optimally at pH 7.0, 30 °C, and 0%, respectively. Unlike related Lysinibacillus type strains, strain KH24T could assimilate D-glucose, D-fructose, N-acetyl-glucosamine, amygdalin, arbutin, esculin, ferric citrate, salicin, D-cellobiose, D-maltose, D-sucrose, and gentiobiose. Major fatty acids included iso-C15:0 (45.8%), anteiso-C15:0 (15.1%), iso-C17:0 (12.6%), and anteiso-C17:0 (10.9%). Menaquinone-7 was the predominant quinone, and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and lysophosphatidylethanolamine. Based on its genetic and phenotypic properties, strain KH24T represents a novel species of the genus Lysinibacillus, for which the name Lysinibacillus piscis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KH24T (= JCM 36611 T = KCTC 43676 T).

Abstract
Cypridina luciferin (CypL) is a marine natural product that functions as the luminous substrate for the enzyme Cypridina luciferase (CypLase). CypL has two enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-CypL, due to its one chiral center at the sec-butyl moiety. Previous studies reported that (S)-CypL or racemic CypL with CypLase produced light, but the luminescence of (R)-CypL with CypLase has not been investigated. Here, we examined the luminescence of (R)-CypL, which had undergone chiral separation from the enantiomeric mixture, with a recombinant CypLase. Our luminescence measurements demonstrated that (R)-CypL with CypLase produced light, indicating that (R)-CypL must be considered as the luminous substrate for CypLase, as in the case of (S)-CypL, rather than a competitive inhibitor for CypLase. Additionally, we found that the maximum luminescence intensity from the reaction of (R)-CypL with CypLase was approximately 10 fold lower than that of (S)-CypL with CypLase, but our kinetic analysis of CypLase showed that the Km value of CypLase for (R)-CypL was approximately 3 fold lower than that for (S)-CypL. Furthermore, the chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the reaction mixture of racemic CypL with CypLase showed that (R)-CypL was consumed more slowly than (S)-CypL. These results indicate that the turnover rate of CypLase for (R)-CypL was lower than that for (S)-CypL, which caused the less efficient luminescence of (R)-CypL with CypLase.

Abstract
Bioluminescence, a phenomenon observed widely in organisms ranging from bacteria to metazoans, has a significant impact on the behaviour and ecology of organisms. Among bioluminescent organisms, Polycirrus, which has unique emission wavelengths, has received attention, and advanced studies such as RNA-Seq have been conducted, but they are limited to a few cases. In addition, accurate species identification is difficult due to lack of taxonomic organization. In this study, we conducted comprehensive taxonomic survey of Japanese Polycirrus based on multiple specimens from different locations and described as three new species: Polycirrus onibi sp. nov., P. ikeguchii sp. nov. and P. aoandon sp. nov. The three species can be distinguished from the known species based on the following characters: (i) arrangement of mid-ventral groove, (ii) arrangement of notochaetigerous segments, (iii) type of neurochaetae uncini, and (iv) arrangement of nephridial papillae. By linking the bioluminescence phenomenon with taxonomic knowledge, we established a foundation for future bioluminescent research development. We also provide a brief phylogenetic tree based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences to discuss the evolution of bioluminescence and the direction of future research.

Abstract
Alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is an acute phase protein in mammals, including humans. The amount of AGP in human serum varies in response to certain diseases; thus, many efforts have been made to develop methods for quantifying human AGP. We recently discovered that luminescence occurs merely by mixing Cypridina luciferin with human AGP under human serum-free neutral or basic buffer conditions. In this study, we tested an application of Cypridina luciferin for quantifying AGP contained in human serum. Our luminescence spectrum measurements of Cypridina luciferin with human serum samples showed that the maximum emission wavelength with human serum (480 nm) differed from that with human AGP (464 nm) due to the abundant presence of endogenous human serum albumin (HSA). Furthermore, the luminescence intensities of Cypridina luciferin with human AGP in HSA-depleted human serum were consistent with those in a human serum-free basic buffer, but those in human serum were not. These results indicated that depletion of HSA in human serum was required to use Cypridina luciferin for quantifying AGP in human serum. Additionally, we found that the luminescence intensity of Cypridina luciferin with bovine AGP was approximately tenfold lower than that with human AGP.

Abstract
Lucensosergia lucens is a luminous marine shrimp that has been suggested to use a coelenterazine-dependent luminescence system. However, the genetic information related to the luminescence system is lacking. Our RNA-Seq analysis of this shrimp did not show the existence of known or homologous coelenterazine-dependent luciferase genes. Subsequent biochemical analyses suggested that the shrimp possessed unknown proteinaceous components for coelenterazine luminescence.

Abstract
Cypridina noctiluca luciferase (CLuc) is a secreted luminescent protein that reacts with its substrate (Cypridina luciferin) to emit light. CLuc is known to be a thermostable protein and has been used for various research applications, including in vivo imaging and high-throughput reporter assays. Previously, we produced a large amount of recombinant CLuc for crystallographic analysis. However, this recombinant protein did not crystallize, probably due to heterogeneous N-glycan modifications. In this study, we produced recombinant CLuc without glycan modifications by introducing mutations at the N-glycan modification residues using mammalian Expi293F cells, silkworms, and tobacco Bright Yellow-2 cells. Interestingly, recombinant CLuc production depended heavily on the expression hosts. Among these selected hosts, we found that Expi293F cells efficiently produced the recombinant mutant CLuc without significant effects on its luciferase activity. We confirmed the lack of N-glycan modifications for this mutant protein by mass spectrometry analysis but found slight O-glycan modifications that we estimated were about 2% of the ion chromatogram peak area for the detected peptide fragments. Moreover, by using CLuc deletion mutants during the investigation of O-glycan modifications, we identified amino acid residues important to the luciferase activity of CLuc. Our results provide invaluable information related to CLuc function and pave the way for its crystallographic analysis.

Abstract
Terebellidae worms have large numbers of tentacles responsible for various biological functions. Some Terebellidae worms whose tentacles emit light are found around the world, including exceptional violet-light-emitting Polycirrus spp. found in Europe and North America. However, there is no video-recorded observation of the luminous behavior of such unique species in nature, and the genetic information related to their ecology are lacking. Here, for the first time, we video-recorded the violet-light-emitting behavior of an undescribed Japanese worm in its natural habitat. The worm was designated as Polycirrus sp. ISK based on morphological observations, and the luminescence spectrum showed a peak at 444 nm, which is an exceptionally short wavelength for bioluminescence in a shallow coastal water environment. An analysis of differentially expressing genes based on separate RNA-Seq analysis for the tentacles and the rest of body revealed the specific expression of genes that are probably involved in innate immunity in the tentacles exposed to predators. We also found a Renilla luciferase homologous gene, but coelenterazine was not detected in the worm extract by analyses using a liquid chromatography and a recombinant Renilla luciferase. These results will promote an understanding of the ecology and luminescence mechanisms of luminous Polycirrus spp.

Abstract
The enzyme Cypridina luciferase (CLase) enables Cypridina luciferin to emit light efficiently through an oxidation reaction. The catalytic mechanism on the substrate of CLase has been studied, but the details remain to be clarified. Here, we examined the luminescence of Cypridina luciferin in the presence of several proteins with drug-binding ability. Luminescence measurements showed that the mixture of human plasma alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (hAGP) and Cypridina luciferin produced light. The total value of the luminescence intensity over 60 s was over 12.6-fold higher than those in the presence of ovalbumin, human serum albumin, or bovine serum albumin. In the presence of heat-treated hAGP, the luminescence intensity of Cypridina luciferin was lower than in the presence of intact hAGP. Chlorpromazine, which binds to hAGP, showed an inhibitory effect on the luminescence of Cypridina luciferin, both in the presence of hAGP and a recombinant CLase. Furthermore, BlastP analysis showed that hAGP had partial amino acid sequence similarity to known CLases in the region including amino acid residues involved in the drug-binding ability of hAGP. These findings indicate enzymological similarity between hAGP and CLase and provide insights into both the enzymological understanding of CLase and development of a luminescence detection method for hAGP.

Abstract
Bioluminescent fungi are spread throughout the globe, but details on their mechanism of light emission are still scarce. Usually, the process involves three key components: an oxidizable luciferin substrate, a luciferase enzyme, and a light emitter, typically oxidized luciferin, and called oxyluciferin. We report the structure of fungal oxyluciferin, investigate the mechanism of fungal bioluminescence, and describe the use of simple synthetic α-pyrones as luciferins to produce multicolor enzymatic chemiluminescence. A high-energy endoperoxide is proposed as an intermediate of the oxidation of the native luciferin to the oxyluciferin, which is a pyruvic acid adduct of caffeic acid. Luciferase promiscuity allows the use of simple α-pyrones as chemiluminescent substrates.

Abstract
Firefly luciferin, the substrate for the bioluminescence reaction of luminous beetles, possesses a benzothiazole ring, which is rare in nature. Here, we demonstrate a novel one-pot reaction to give firefly luciferin in a neutral buffer from p-benzoquinone and cysteine without any synthetic reagents or enzymes. The formation of firefly luciferin was low in yield in various neutral buffers, whereas it was inhibited or completely prevented in acidic or basic buffers, in organic solvents, or under a nitrogen atmosphere. Labelling analysis of the firefly luciferin using stable isotopic cysteines showed that the benzothiazole ring was formed via the decarboxylation and carbon-sulfur bond rearrangement of cysteine. These findings imply that the biosynthesis of firefly luciferin can be developed/evolved from the non-enzymatic production of firefly luciferin using common primary biosynthetic units, p-benzoquinone and cysteine.

Abstract
Functional contribution of the cholinergic pathway between the frontal cortex and basal nucleus of Meynert to micturition reflex was investigated. Male Wistar rats were subjected to bilateral lesion of the basal forebrain by ibotenic acid (IA) injection (7.5 microg/rat on each side) (BF rats). Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was injected into control rats (sham operated rats; SO rats). Cystometrograms were obtained from conscious BF and SO rats 7-10 days after IA/PBS injection. Bladder capacity (BC) of BF rats was significantly smaller than that of SO rats (approximately 43.7%) and was accompanied by decrease in choline-acetyltransferase activity in the frontal cortices. Oxotremorine M, a muscarinic receptor agonist, increased BC in BF rats, while pirenzepine, an M1 muscarinic receptor antagonist, counteracted the effect of the oxotremorine M-induced increase in BC. Injection of oxotremorine M into the dorsal pontine tegmentum (DPT) reduced BC in BF and SO rats, while injection of pirenzepine had no effect on cystometrograms. These findings indicate that the M1 muscarinic receptor plays a part in the forebrain inhibitory mechanisms involved in the micturition reflex and that muscarinic receptor in the DPT contributes to excitatory control of micturition reflex.

Abstract
To evaluate the influences of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mechanisms on bladder hyperactivity after left middle cerebral artery occlusion, cystometric recordings were obtained from unanesthetized female rats. Intracerebroventricular administration of both muscimol (GABA(A) receptor agonist; 0.1-10 nmol) and baclofen (GABA(B) receptor agonist; 0.1-3 nmol) produced dose-dependent inhibitions of micturition with increases in bladder capacity (BC). The effects of high doses (1-10 nmol) were similar in sham-operated (SO) and cerebral-infarcted (CI) rats. However, lower doses of muscimol (0.1 or 0.3 nmol) and baclofen (0.1 nmol) reduced BC in CI rats. After bicuculline (GABA(A) receptor antagonist; 1 or 3 nmol) administration, BC in both SO and CI rats first decreased and subsequently increased. An increase in urethral pressure was observed after administration of bicuculline (3 nmol) but not with either muscimol or baclofen. Infarct volumes in muscimol-, bicuculline-, or baclofen-treated rats were not significantly different from those of vehicle-treated rats. These results suggest that GABAergic mechanisms inhibit the micturition reflex at the supraspinal level but that this can change as a result of CI.
