EC 4.2.1.161 Details
EC number
4.2.1.161
Accepted name
bisanhydrobacterioruberin hydratase
Reaction
bacterioruberin = bisanhydrobacterioruberin + 2 H2O (overall reaction);; (1a) bacterioruberin = monoanhydrobacterioruberin + H2O;; (1b) monoanhydrobacterioruberin = bisanhydrobacterioruberin + H2O
Other name(s)
CruF, C50 carotenoid 2′′,3′′-hydratase
Systematic name
bacterioruberin hydro-lyase (bisanhydrobacterioruberin-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, isolated from the archaeon Haloarcula japonica, is involved in the biosynthesis of the C50 carotenoid bacterioruberin. In this pathway it catalyses the introduction of hydroxyl groups to C3′′ and C3′′′ of bisanhydrobacterioruberin to generate bacterioruberin.
