Cofactor

Cofactor Comment Organism Structure
[4Fe-4S]-center BchE sequence displays the conserved CXXXCXXC sequence essential for 4Fe-4S cluster formation and an active 4Fe-4S cluster is present in the protein. Isolated protein is yellow-brown in colour with an absorption peak around 410 nm Rubrivivax gelatinosus

Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Rubrivivax gelatinosus expression of the BchE gene is oxygen-independent additional information

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function a BchE mutant is photosynthesis-deficient, produces bacteriochlorophyll only under high oxygenation and accumulates Mg-protoporphyrin monomethyl ester under low oxygenation and anaerobiosis. A double knockout mutant lacking both Bche and aerobic magnesium-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester [oxidative] cyclase AcsF is devoid of photosystem and accumulates Mg-protoporphyrin monomethyl ester under both conditions indicating the involvement of the two enzymes at the same step of the biosynthesis pathway. AcsF acts strictly under high oxygenation conditions, whereas BchE is involved when the oxygen tension drops Rubrivivax gelatinosus
