phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase |
| Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-CH group of donors;
With an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor
 |
| Sysname |
(3Z)-phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
(3Z)-phycocyanobilin + oxidized ferredoxin = biliverdin IXalpha +
reduced ferredoxin [RN:R05817] |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
R05817
 |
| Substrate |
(3Z)-phycocyanobilin [CPD:C05786];
oxidized ferredoxin [CPD:C00139] |
| Product |
biliverdin IXalpha;
reduced ferredoxin [CPD:C00138] |
| Comment |
Catalyses the four-electron reduction of biliverdin IXalpha
(2-electron reduction at both the A and D rings). Reaction proceeds
via an isolatable 2-electron intermediate,
181,182-dihydrobiliverdin. Flavodoxins can be used instead of
ferredoxin.The direct conversion of biliverdin IXalpha (BV) to
(3Z)-phycocyanolbilin (PCB) in the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp
PCC 6803, Anabaena sp PCC7120 and Nostoc punctiforme is in contrast
to the proposed pathways of PCB biosynthesis in the red alga
Cyanidium caldarium, which involves (3Z)-phycoerythrobilin (PEB) as
an intermediate [2] and in the green alga Mesotaenium caldariorum,
in which PCB is an isolable intermediate. |
