gene bchP, sequence comparison with gene chlP from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 | Cereibacter sphaeroides |
gene chfP, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, the enzyme partially complements a bchP mutant T6G5 of purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, which is blocked in the terminal hydrogenation steps of bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis. The mutant possesses only bacteriochlorophyll esterified with geranylgeraniol and has a reduced cellular level of the light-harvesting LH2 complex. Upon heterologous expression of the Synechocystis bchP homologue, not only are hydrogenated forms of geranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a (bchlaGG) detectable, but the level of LH2 is increased, sequence comparison with gene chP from Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain NCIB 8253 | Synechocystis sp. |
