Name
phytochromobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase;
HY2;
PPhi B synthase;
phytochromobilin synthase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-CH group of donors;
With an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
(3Z)-phytochromobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(3Z)-phytochromobilin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = biliverdin IXalpha + 2 reduced ferredoxin [RN:
R03678 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
(3Z)-phytochromobilin [CPD:
C05913 ];
oxidized ferredoxin [CPD:
C00139 ]
Product
biliverdin IXalpha;
reduced ferredoxin [CPD:
C00138 ]
Comment
Catalyses the two-electron reduction of biliverdin IXalpha. Can use [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from a number of sources as acceptor but not the [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum. The isomerization of (3Z)-phytochromobilin to (3E)-phytochromobilin is thought to occur prior to covalent attachment to apophytochrome in the plant cell cytoplasm. Flavodoxins can be used instead of ferredoxin.
