KEGG   ENZYME: 1.3.7.6
Entry
EC 1.3.7.6                  Enzyme                                 
Name
phycoerythrobilin synthase;
PebS
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-CH group of donors;
With an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor
Sysname
(3Z)-phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (from biliverdin IXalpha)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(3Z)-phycoerythrobilin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = biliverdin IXalpha + 2 reduced ferredoxin [RN:R09491]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09491
Substrate
(3Z)-phycoerythrobilin [CPD:C05912];
oxidized ferredoxin [CPD:C00139]
Product
biliverdin IXalpha;
reduced ferredoxin [CPD:C00138]
Comment
This enzyme, from a cyanophage infecting oceanic cyanobacteria of the Prochlorococcus genus, uses a four-electron reduction to carry out the reactions catalysed by EC 1.3.7.2 (15,16-dihydrobiliverdin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase) and EC 1.3.7.3 (phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase). 15,16-Dihydrobiliverdin is formed as a bound intermediate. Free 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin can also act as a substrate to form phycoerythrobilin.
