pcyA CDS

pcyA (Phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase) CDS

Gene in charge of the cromophore synthesis along with ho1 in Synechocystis which convert heme into PCB via a two-step oxidation/reduction process.


Usage and Biology

Is the best characterized member of the ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductase family. Unlike other ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductases that catalyze a two-electron reduction, PcyA sequentially reduces D-ring (exo) and A-ring (endo) vinyl groups of biliverdin IXalpha (BV) to yield phycocyanobilin, a key pigment precursor of the light-harvesting antennae complexes of red algae, cyanobacteria, and cryptophytes.
