EC 1.17.98.2     
Accepted name: bacteriochlorophyllide c C-71-hydroxylase
Reaction: 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a bacteriochlorophyllide c + H2O = a bacteriochlorophyllide e + 2 5′-deoxyadenosine + 2 L-methionine (overall reaction)
(1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a bacteriochlorophyllide c + H2O = a 7-(hydroxymethyl)bacteriochlorophyllide c + 5′-deoxyadenosine + L-methionine
(1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a 7-(hydroxymethyl)bacteriochlorophyllide c + H2O = a 7-(dihydroxymethyl)bacteriochlorophyllide c + 5′-deoxyadenosine + L-methionine
(1c) a 7-(dihydroxymethyl)bacteriochlorophyllide c = a bacteriochlorophyllide e + H2O (spontaneous)

Other name(s): bciD (gene name)
Systematic name: bacteriochlorophyllide-c:S-adenosyl-L-methionine oxidoreductase (C-71-hydroxylating)
Comments: The enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae), is a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) enzyme and contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster. It catalyses two consecutive hydroxylation reactions of the C-7 methyl group of bacteriochlorophyllide c to form a geminal diol intermediate that spontaneously dehydrates to produce the formyl group of bacteriochlorophyllide e.
