additional information | deletion of gene bchF in a BChl b-producing strain of Rhodobacter sphaeroides leads to the production of an analogue of bacteriochlorophyllide g, BChl gP, where P is phytyl, rather than the native BChl aP. In the bchF-deletion mutant, hydration of the C3-vinyl group in 3-vinyl bacteriochlorophyllide a is blocked, but this precursor can be esterified with phytol. Enzyme BchF deletion- in the DELTAbciA/bchXYZBv background results in formation of BChl g esterified with phytol (BChl gP) | Cereibacter sphaeroides |

malfunction | deletion of gene bchF in a bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) b-producing strain of Rhodobacter sphaeroides leads to the production of an analogue of bacteriochlorophyllide g, BChl gP, where P is phytyl, rather than the native BChl aP. In the bchF-deletion mutant, hydration of the C3-vinyl group in 3-vinyl bacteriochlorophyllide a is blocked, but this precursor can be esterified with phytol. Enzyme BchF deletion- in the DELTAbciA/bchXYZBv background results in formation of BChl g esterified with phytol (BChl gP). Pigment analysis in several bch mutants, overview | Cereibacter sphaeroides |
metabolism | the enzyme is involved in the biosynthetic pathways of different baceriochlorophyllides, e.g. a and g, overview | Cereibacter sphaeroides |
physiological function | gene bchF encodes an enzyme responsible for the hydration of the C3-vinyl group of a precursor of bacteriochlorophylls | Cereibacter sphaeroides |
