General Information | Comment | Organism |

metabolism | phycobilins are light-harvesting pigments of cyanobacteria, red algae, and cryptophytes. The biosynthesis of phycoerythrobilin (PEB) is catalyzed by the subsequent action of two ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductases (FDBRs). 15,16-Dihydrobiliverdin (DHBV):ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PebA) catalyzes the two-electron reduction of biliverdin IXalpha to 15,16-DHBV, and PEB:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PebB) reduces this intermediate further to PEB. The biosynthetic intermediate DHBV is transferred via proximity channeling to PEB:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PebB) | Synechococcus sp. WH 8020 |
additional information | structure comparisons of Synechococcus WH8020 PebA and Guillardia theta PebB, overview. The Asp-99/Asp-219 pair is structurally conserved in most FDBRs, while the corresponding residues are relevant for PebB, for PebA only the homologue of Asp99 (Asp84) is essential for catalytic activity. The homologue of Asp219 (Asp205) is not essential and is rotated out of the active site. PebB binds DHBV analogous to the binding of BV in PebA/PebS | Synechococcus sp. WH 8020 |
