ENZYME entry: EC 3.1.1.100
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| chlorophyllide a hydrolase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| bciC (gene name). |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| chlorophyllide a + H(+) + H2O <=> 8-ethyl-12-methyl-3-vinylbacteriochlorophyllide d + CO2 + methanol |
| 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.
