CyanoLyase

RpcT family

Description

Gene name proposed by Six et al. (2007). This enzyme is not formerly biochemically characterized yet, but indirect evidence suggests that it attaches a PEB at Cys-153 of beta-PC (Blot et al. 2009). RpcT is a paralog of CpcT, and they are located in different positions of the PBS rod region of marine Synechococcus spp. (Six et al. 2007, Grébert et al. 2022). Interestingly, strain RS9916 possesses both RpcT and CpcT, confirming the paralogy.
