additional information | the enzyme catalyzes stereoselective hydration of zinc 3-vinyl-8-ethyl-12-methyl-bacteriopheophorbide d to the zinc 31R-bacteriopheophorbide d homologue with a slight amount of the 31S-epimric species. BchV-hydration of zinc 3-vinyl-8-ethyl and propyl-12-ethyl-bacteriopheophorbides c gives a relatively larger amount of the 31S-epimers. Stereoselectivity is observed in the BchF-hydration of zinc 3-vinyl-8-propyl-12-ethyl-bacteriopheophorbides c resulting in a relatively larger amount of the 31S-epimers | Chlorobaculum tepidum | ? | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | deletion of bchV gene affects the composition of 31R/S-epimers in composite BChls c: the bchV-deleted mutant has nearly 100% R-stereochemistry in [E,M]- and [E,E]BChls c, 0-6% S-stereochemistry in [P,E]BChl c, and very few [I,E]BChl c | Chlorobaculum tepidum |
metabolism | enzyme involvement in the biosynthetic pathways of BChl c homologues and epimers, overview | Chlorobaculum tepidum |
physiological function | the photosynthetic green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum (Cba.) tepidum produces bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c pigments bearing a chiral 1-hydroxyethyl group at the 3-position, which self-aggregate to construct main light-harvesting antenna complexes, chlorosomes. Chlorobaculum tepidum grown under a low limited light intensity increases the S-epimeric BChls c (6% of the total amount) and bathochromically shifts the red-most (Qy) absorption band of chlorosomal BChl c self-aggregates, which improves the efficiency of the excited energy transfer to an acceptor in chlorosomal envelopmental proteins. The enhancement of the S-epimers is explained by the fact that the transcriptional level of bchV gene is upregulated under low light conditions | Chlorobaculum tepidum |
