4.4.1.30

Accepted name:

phycobiliprotein β-cysteine-155 phycobilin lyase

Reaction:

(1) [C-phycocyanin β-subunit]-Cys¹⁵⁵-phycocyanobilin = apo-[C-phycocyanin β-subunit] + (2R,3E)-phycocyanobilin
(2) [phycoerythrocyanin β-subunit]-Cys¹⁵⁵-phycocyanobilin = apo-[phycoerythrocyanin β-subunit] + (2R,3E)-phycocyanobilin

Glossary:

phycocyanobilin = 3,31-didehydro-2,3-dihydromesobiliverdin

Other name(s):

cpcT (gene name); cpeT1 (gene name); cpcT1 (gene name)

Systematic name:

[phycobiliprotein β-subunit]-Cys¹⁵⁵-phycocyanobilin:phycocyanobilin lyase

Comments:

The enzyme, found in cyanobacteria and red algae, catalyses the attachment of the phycobilin chromophore phycocyanobilin to cysteine 155 of the β subunits of the phycobiliproteins C-phycocyanin and phycoerythrocyanin. The numbering used here corresponds to the enzyme from Anabaena, and could vary slightly in other organisms.
