PCL-1 reacts with H2O2, HOCl, and ONOO− to form luciferin as the major product.
ONOO− oxidizes PCL-1 nearly a million times more rapidly than does H2O2.
Nitrobenzylated luciferin is a minor, ONOO−-specific product of PCL-1.
PCL-1 reaction with excess HOCl generates a chlorinated luciferin.
Minor products of PCL-1 may serve as specific markers for ONOO− and HOCl.
