EC 4.99.1.11 Details
EC number
4.99.1.11
Accepted name
sirohydrochlorin nickelchelatase
Reaction
Ni-sirohydrochlorin + 2 H+ = sirohydrochlorin + Ni2+
Other name(s)
cfbA (gene name)
Systematic name
Ni-sirohydrochlorin nickel-lyase (sirohydrochlorin-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, studied from the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans, participates in the biosynthesis of the nickel-containing tetrapyrrole cofactor coenzyme F430, which is required by EC 2.8.4.1, coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase. It catalyses the insertion of the nickel ion into sirohydrochlorin.
