Description
The enzyme, characterized from the cyanobacteria Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 and Mastigocladus laminosus, catalyses the covalent attachment of the phycobilin chromophore phycocyanobilin to cysteine 84 of the β subunit of the phycobiliprotein phycoerythrocyanin and its isomerization to phycoviolobilin.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
pecE (gene name); pecF (gene name); phycoviolobilin phycoerythrocyanin-α84-cystein-lyase; PecE/PecF; PEC-Cys-R84 PCB lyase/isomerase
Reaction
[phycoerythrocyanin α-subunit]-Cys84-phycoviolobilin = apo-[phycoerythrocyanin α-subunit] + (2R,3E)-phycocyanobilin
