ENZYME entry: EC 4.4.1.39

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/4.4.1.39
Accepted Name
C-phycoerythrin alpha-cysteine-82 phycoerythrobilin lyase
Reaction catalysed
phycoerythrobilin-L-cysteinyl(82)-[C-phycoerythrin alpha-subunit] = apo-L-cysteinyl(82)-[C-phycoerythrin alpha-subunit] + (2R,3E)-phycoerythrobilin
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the cyanobacterium Microchaete diplosiphon, catalyzes the attachment of the phycobilin chromophore (3E)-phycoerythrobilin (PEB) to cysteine 82 of the alpha subunit of the phycobiliprotein C-phycoerythrin.
  • The numbering used here corresponds to the enzyme from Microchaete diplosiphon, and could vary slightly in other organisms.
  • Activity is greatly enhanced in the presence of the chaperone-like protein CpeZ.
  • The reaction could also be catalyzed by EC 4.4.1.29, but much less efficiently.
