ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.331

Accepted Name
bacteriochlorophyllide d C-12(1)-methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
8-ethyl-12-methyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> 8,12-diethyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) and green flimentous bacteria (Chloroflexaceae), is a radical S-adenosyl-L- methionine (AdoMet) enzyme and contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
  • It adds a methyl group at the C-12(1) position of bacteriochlorophylls of the c, d and e types.
  • This methylation plays a role in fine-tuning the structural arrangement of the bacteriochlorophyll aggregates in chlorosomes and therefore directly influences the chlorosomes absorption properties.
