ENZYME entry: EC 3.1.1.100
Accepted Name |
Chlorophyllide a hydrolase.
|
Alternative Name(s) |
BciC (gene name). |
Reaction catalysed |
Chlorophyllide a + H(2)O <=> 8-ethyl-12-methyl-3-vinyl-bacteriochlorophyllide d + methanol + CO(2) |
Comment(s) |
- This enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) and green
filamentous bacteria (Chloroflexaceae), catalyzes the first committed
step in the biosynthesis of bacteriochlorophylls c, d and e,
the removal of the C-13(2)-methylcarboxyl group from chlorophyllide
a.
- The reaction is very similar to the conversion of pheophorbide a to
pyropheophorbide a during chlorophyll a degradation, which is
catalyzed by EC 3.1.1.82.
