Photinus-luciferin 4-monooxygenase (ATP-hydrolyzing) activity

Known as: firefly luciferase activity, Photinus luciferin 4-monooxygenase (adenosine triphosphate-hydrolyzing), Photinus-luciferin:oxygen 4-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating, ATP-hydrolysing) 
Catalysis of the reaction: O2 + ATP + Photinus luciferin = light + diphosphate + AMP + CO2 + oxidized Photinus luciferin. [EC:1.13.12.7, MetaCyc:1.13…
