CyanoLyase

MpeX family

Description

MpeX is a yet uncharacterized member of the CpeF-MpeU-V-X superfamily found in low light-adapted Prochlorococcus strains, such as P. marinus strain SS120/CCMP1375 (Hess et al. 1999, Wiethaus et al. 2010b, Carrigee et al. 2021). Its predicted function is to bind a PEB or PUB at Cys-50,61 of beta-PEIII, but most likely a PUB given that the PUB:PEB ratio of PEIII is 3:1 (Steglich et al. 2003).
