in vitro enzymatic hydration of some 3-vinyl-chlorophyll derivatives with usage of zinc complexes of cyclic tetrapyrroles as the enzymatic substrates alternative to chlorophyll(ide)s chelated with magnesium ion. Recombinant BchF catalyzes stereoselective hydration of zinc 3-vinyl-8-ethyl-12-methyl-bacteriopheophorbide c or d to the zinc 31R-bacteriopheophorbide c or d homologue, respectively. The enzymatic hydration for the 8-propylated substrate proceeds more slowly than that for the 8-ethylated, and the 8-isobutylated substrate is no longer hydrated. The wild-type strain of Chlorobaculum tepidum gives almost exclusively 31R-epimers of 8-ethyl-12-methyl- and 8,12-diethyl-BChl c, approximately 90% 31R- and 10% 31S-epimers of 8-propyl-12-ethyl-BChl c, and entirely 31S-epimer of 8-isobutyl-12-ethyl-BChl c: 4% 31S-epimers in the total amount of BChl c homologues. The in vivo hydrations might be effective even after the 20-methylation by a methyltransferase, BchU. No activity of BchF in the hydration of the 3-vinyl group of protochlorophyllide a, the porphyrin form of chlorophyllide a. The hydrogenation of the porphyrin to chlorin Pi-system is necessary for the substrate of BchF hydration. In all the BchF-catalyzed reactions, the products are mixtures of the 31R- and 31S-epimers, and the R-epimers are mainly obtained with a lower amount of the S-epimers. The 20-methylated analogue of Zn-3V[E,M]BPheide d, Zn-3V[E,M]BPheide c, is hydrated by BchF and BchV enzymes to give Zn-[E,M]BPheide c

both BchF and BchV from Chlorobaculum tepidum catalyze in vitro hydration of the 3-vinyl group of Zn-3V-[E,M]bacteriopheophorbide d. The reaction of Zn-3V-[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d, the 121-methylated derivative of Zn-3V-[E,M]bacteriopheophorbides d, shows two products assigned to a 31-epimeric mixture of Zn-R/S[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d. The R-epimeric product is predominant. Zn-3V-[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d, the homologue methylated at the 82-position of Zn-3V-[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d as a substrate gives similar results to that of Zn-3V-[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d. Both BchF and BchV hydrate Zn-3V-[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d stereoselectively and produce Zn-R[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d as a major product and Zn-S[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d as a minor one. With one more 82-methylated pigment, Zn-3V-[I,E]bacteriopheophorbide d, both BchF and BchV hydrate the 3-vinyl group of the substrate.

Recombinant BchV catalyzes stereoselective hydration of zinc 3-vinyl-8-ethyl-12-methyl-bacteriopheophorbide c or d to the zinc 31R-bacteriopheophorbide c or d homologue, respectively, with a slight amount of the 31S-epimeric species. The BchV-hydration gives a relatively larger amount of the 31S-epimers. The in vitro stereoselective hydration confirms the in vivo production of the S-epimeric species by BchV. The enzymatic hydration for the 8-propylated substrate proceeds more slowly than that for the 8-ethylated, and the 8-isobutylated substrate is no longer hydrated. The wild-type strain of Chlorobaculum tepidum gives almost exclusively 31R-epimers of 8-ethyl-12-methyl- and 8,12-diethyl-BChl c, approximately 90% 31R- and 10% 31S-epimers of 8-propyl-12-ethyl-BChl c, and entirely 31S-epimer of 8-isobutyl-12-ethyl-BChl c: 4% 31S-epimers in the total amount of BChl c homologues. The in vivo hydrations might be effective even after the 20-methylation by a methyltransferase, BchU. No activity of BchV in the hydration of the 3-vinyl group of protochlorophyllide a, the porphyrin form of chlorophyllide a. The hydrogenation of the porphyrin to chlorin Pi-system is necessary for the substrate of BchV hydration. In all the BchV-catalyzed reactions, the products are mixtures of the 31R- and 31S-epimers, and the R-epimers are mainly obtained with a lower amount of the S-epimers

both BchF and BchV from Chlorobaculum tepidum catalyze in vitro hydration of the 3-vinyl group of Zn-3V-[E,M]bacteriopheophorbide d. The reaction of Zn-3V-[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d, the 121-methylated derivative of Zn-3V-[E,M]bacteriopheophorbides d, shows two products assigned to a 31-epimeric mixture of Zn-R/S[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d. The R-epimeric product is predominant. Zn-3V-[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d, the homologue methylated at the 82-position of Zn-3V-[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d as a substrate gives similar results to that of Zn-3V-[E,E]bacteriopheophorbide d. Both BchF and BchV hydrate Zn-3V-[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d stereoselectively and produce Zn-R[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d as a major product and Zn-S[P,E]bacteriopheophorbide d as a minor one. With one more 82-methylated pigment, Zn-3V-[I,E]bacteriopheophorbide d, both BchF and BchV hydrate the 3-vinyl group of the substrate. No activity of BchF or BchV with Zn-3V-[I,E]bacteriopheophorbide c, the 20-methylated derivative of Zn-3V-[I,E]bacteriopheophorbide d

BcF deficiency impairs the production of both bacteriochlorophylls BChl a and BChl c. The bchV-deletion mutant possessing only BchF shows a significant decrease of the S-epimers and accumulations of C3-vinyl BChl c species, while the bchF-inactivated mutant, which still has BchV as a sole hydratase, shows higher ratios of S-epimeric bacteriochlorophyll c than the wild-type strain.

a chlorosome is a large and efficient light-harvesting antenna system found in some photosynthetic bacteria. This system comprises self-aggregates of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c, d, or e possessing a chiral 1-hydroxyethyl group at the 3-position, which plays a key role in the formation of the supramolecule. Biosynthesis of chlorosomal pigments involves stereoselective conversion of 3-vinyl group to 3-(1-hydroxyethyl) group facilitated by a 3-vinyl hydratase. This 3-vinyl hydration also occurs in BChl a biosynthesis, followed by oxidation that introduces an acetyl group at the 3-position catalyzed by 3-vinyl hydratases. Analysis of the biosynthetic pathway of BChl a and other chlorosomal pigments considering the substrate specificity and stereoselectivity, and comparisons of by 3-vinyl hydratases derived from green sulfur bacteria, overview. The green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum tepidum synthesizes three types of chlorophyllous pigments: Chl aPD (Chl a esterified with DELTA2,6-phytadienol), BChl a, and BChl c. The core part of chlorosomes in Chlorobaculum tepidum consists of self-aggregates of BChl c molecules, which are a mixture of 31R/S-epimers as well as a mixture of 82-and 121-methylated homologues.

the photosynthetic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum (Cba.) tepidum produces bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c pigments bearing a chiral 1-hydroxyethyl group at the 3-position, which self-aggregate to construct main light-harvesting antenna complexes, chlorosomes. Chlorobaculum tepidum grown under a low limited light intensity increases the S-epimeric BChls c (6% of the total amount) and bathochromically shifts the red-most (Qy) absorption band of chlorosomal BChl c self-aggregates, which improves the efficiency of the excited energy transfer to an acceptor in chlorosomal envelopmental proteins. The enhancement of the S-epimers is explained by the fact that the transcriptional level of bchV gene is upregulated under low light conditions

The epimeric BChl homologues lead to different properties of self-aggregates in chlorosomes, and their composition is changed to growth conditions of green sulfur bacteria cells

additional information
the central metal is essential for the BchF reaction. Since the 132-methoxycarbonyl group in substrates is not necessary for the enzymatic reactions, the free 172-carboxy group and the central magnesium ion of chlorins are important for the substrates of hydration by BchF enzyme
