ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.332

Accepted Name
bacteriochlorophyllide d C-8(2)-methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
  • 8,12-diethyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> 12-ethyl-8-propyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
  • 12-ethyl-8-propyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> 12-ethyl-8-isobutyl-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.
  • It adds one or two methyl groups at the C-8(2) position of bacteriochlorophylls of the c, d and e types.
  • These methylations play a role in fine-tuning the structural arrangement of the bacteriochlorophyll aggregates in chlorosomes and therefore directly influence chlorosomal absorption properties.
