CyanoLyase

Characterized or predicted function of phycobilin lyases

This table lists the characterized (roman) or predicted (italics) function of phycobilin lyases in vivo, in terms of their:

  • chromophore bound: phycocyanobilin (PCB) or phycoerythrobilin (PEB)
  • enzymatic activity: lyase or lyase-isomerase. Note that a PCB lyase-isomerase will bind a PCB and isomerize it into phycoviolibilin (PVB) and that a PEB lyase-isomerase will bind a PEB and isomerize it into phycourobilin (PUB).
  • Substrate: apoprotein targeted by the enzyme
  • Cysteinyl binding sites: positions where chromophores are bound. Numbers in the table correspond to consensus numbering (Scheer et al., 2008). Note that marine Synechococcus for instance generally have different positions than indicated (i.e. Cys-81 on all APC subunits; Cys-82 and 153 on CpcB/RpcB; Cys-82 and 139 on CpeA; Cys-50/61, 82 and 165 on CpeB).

It is worth noting that many phycobilin lyases have a broader enzymatic activity in vitro, i.e. in heterologous, multi-plasmid expression systems in Escherichia coli (see e.g. Blot et al., 2009).
