CyanoLyase

MpeV family

Description

MpeV is present only in marine Synechococcus strains belonging to pigment type 3dA, one of the two kinds of type IV chromatic acclimaters. MpeV has been biochemically characterized as a PEB:Cys-50,61 β-PEI and β-PEII lyase-isomerase in Synechococcus strain RS9916 (Carrigee et et al. 2021). Of note, the Cys-50-61 β-PEI of another 3dA strain WH8020 binds a PEB and not a PUB (Ong & Glazer, 1991). This discrepancy has been associated with the occurrence of a histidine at position 141 of the PEI β-subunit from WH8020, instead of a leucine in its counterpart from RS9916: this histidine was found to prevent the isomerization activity of MpeV (Carrigee et al. 2022).
