| Phycoerythrobilin synthase.
|
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| (3Z)-phycoerythrobilin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin <=> biliverdin IX-alpha + 2 reduced ferredoxin |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This enzyme, from a cyanophage infecting oceanic cyanobacteria of the
Prochlorococcus genus, uses a four-electron reduction to carry out
the reactions catalyzed by EC 1.3.7.2 and EC 1.3.7.3.
- 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin is formed as a bound intermediate.
- Free 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin can also act as a substrate to form
phycoerythrobilin.
