EC 4.4.1.33 Details
EC number
4.4.1.33
Accepted name
R-phycocyanin α-cysteine-84 phycourobilin lyase/isomerase
Reaction
[R-phycocyanin α-subunit]-Cys84-phycourobilin = apo-[R-phycocyanin α-subunit] + (2R,3E)-phycoerythrobilin
Other name(s)
rpcG (gene name)
Systematic name
[R-phycocyanin α-subunit]-Cys84-phycourobilin:(2R,3E)-phycoerythrobilin lyase/isomerase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH8102, catalyses the covalent attachment of the phycobilin chromophore phycoerythrobilin to cysteine 84 of the α subunit of the phycobiliprotein R-phycocyanin and its isomerization to phycourobilin.
