| Sysname |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:bacteriochlorophyllide-d C-20 methyltransferase
|
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a bacteriochlorophyllide d = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a bacteriochlorophyllide c [RN: R09063]
|
| Reaction(KEGG) |
|
| Substrate |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD: C00019];
bacteriochlorophyllide d [CPD: C18160]
|
| Product |
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD: C00021];
bacteriochlorophyllide c [CPD: C18161]
|
| Comment |
The enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) and green flimentous bacteria (Chloroflexaceae), catalyses the methylation of the C-20 methine bridge position in bacteriochlorophyllide d, forming bacteriochlorophyllide c.
