General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PcyA) is a member of the ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductase (FDBR) family | Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 |
additional information | quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) studies investigating the most probable protonation states of active site amino acids and bound substrate based on a recently reported neutron diffraction structure of phycocyanobilin: ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PcyA), overview. The hydronium ion (H3O+) is energetically unfavorable, preferentially protonating the neighboring His88 residue and that the C-ring of BV is not protonated. The hydronium ion forms hydrogen bonds with His88 (Nepsilon), His74 (Ndelta) and Leu243 (Carbonyl O) residues | Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 |
physiological function | phycocyanobilin (PCB) is synthesized by phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PcyA). The reaction of PcyA starts from biliverdin IXalpha (BV), which is a product of the heme oxygenase-mediated cleavage of the heme macrocycle, to PCB through four-electron reduction | Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 |
