Occurs in photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria, green algae and gymnosperms. The enzyme catalyses trans-reduction of the D-ring of protochlorophyllide; the product has the (7S,8S)-configuration. Unlike EC 1.3.1.33 (protochlorophyllide reductase), light is not required. The enzyme contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster, and structurally resembles the Fe protein/MoFe protein complex of nitrogenase (EC 1.18.6.1), which catalyses an ATP-driven reduction.
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Cereibacter sphaeroides The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea

cyanobacteria, algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes and gymnosperms use an additional, light-independent enzyme dubbed dark-operative Pchlide oxidoreductase for chlorophyll biosynthesis, besides a light-dependent enzyme, mechanisms of protochlorophyllide a reduction in photosynthetic organisms, overview
DPOR consists of two components: a reductase component designated L-protein (a BchL dimer) and a catalytic component named NB-protein (a BchNBchB heterotetramer), structure analysis and comparison to the nitrogenase complex, overview
