MpeY family

Description

Gene present in the "PEII subregion" of the "phycobilisome rod gene region" of all PEII-containing marine Synechococcus strains (Six et al. 2007). This includes WH7803 which has a single PUB, most likely located either at Cys-75 of MpeA or Cys-50/61 of MpeB (Ong & Glazer 1991). MpeY is related to MpeZ and MpeW and more distantly to CpeY. We predict that MpeY is a PEII:PEB lyase-isomerase though its exact specificity remains to be defined.
