MpeZ family
Description
Biochemically characterized as a Cys-83 alpha-PEII:PEB lyase isomerase in Synechococcus sp. RS9916 (Shukla et al., 2012). Likely does not form an heterodimer. Sequence related to MpeY and MpeW and more distantly to CpeY (Humily et al., 2013). The mpeZ gene is specific of one of the two groups of marine Synechococcus able to chromatically acclimate (CA4-A) and is generally located outside the main phycobilisome rod region (Six et al., 2007; Humily et al., 2013).
