Ca 2+ ‐regulated photoprotein obelin was genetically fused with a minimum‐sized core streptavidin. Hybrid protein ( SAV – OL ) was produced by bacterial expression and applied as a specific bioluminescent probe in diverse solid‐phase assays. The obtained results clearly demonstrate specific activity of each domain indicating its proper folding with favorable space orientation. SAV – OL has been shown to be a much more sensitive label than the chemical conjugate of a full‐length streptavidin with obelin.
