Description
The enzyme, found in cyanobacteria and red algae, catalyses the attachment of the phycobilin chromophore phycocyanobilin to cysteine 155 of the β subunits of the phycobiliproteins C-phycocyanin and phycoerythrocyanin. The numbering used here corresponds to the enzyme from Anabaena, and could vary slightly in other organisms.

Reaction
(1) [C-phycocyanin β-subunit]-Cys155-phycocyanobilin = apo-[C-phycocyanin β-subunit] + (2R,3E)-phycocyanobilin; (2) [phycoerythrocyanin β-subunit]-Cys155-phycocyanobilin = apo-[phycoerythrocyanin β-subunit] + (2R,3E)-phycocyanobilin
