Applications of BBa_K1587000
ho1 is used to catalyse the formation of biliverdin (BV) IXα via heme. It is usully used in association with pcyA enabeling the formation phycocyanobilin (PCB), a chromophore of the phytochrome family of photoreceptors, photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes required for circadian clock.
Figure 1: Phycobilin biosynthetic pathway in cyanobacteria showing the formation of PCB from heme. The first step comprises HO1-catalyzed heme degradation. (Ken et al 2009)
