Description
Catalyses the two-electron reduction of biliverdin IXα. Can use [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from a number of sources as acceptor but not the [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum. The isomerization of (3Z)-phytochromobilin to (3E)-phytochromobilin is thought to occur prior to covalent attachment to apophytochrome in the plant cell cytoplasm. Flavodoxins can be used instead of ferredoxin.
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
HY2; PPhi B synthase; phytochromobilin synthase
Reaction
(3Z)-phytochromobilin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = biliverdin IXα + 2 reduced ferredoxin
