EC 1.3.1.111 Details
EC number
1.3.1.111
Accepted name
geranylgeranyl-bacteriochlorophyllide a reductase
Reaction
bacteriochlorophyll a + 3 NADP+ = geranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a + 3 NADPH + 3 H+
Other name(s)
geranylgeranyl-bacteriopheophytin reductase, bchP (gene name)
Systematic name
bacteriochlorophyll-a:NADP+ oxidoreductase (geranylgeranyl-reducing)
Comment
The enzyme catalyses the successive reduction of the geranylgeraniol esterifying group to phytol, reducing three out of four double bonds, and transforming geranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a via dihydrogeranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a and tetrahydrogeranylgeranyl bacteriochlorophyllide a to bacteriochlorophyll a. The enzyme can also accept the pheophytin derivative geranylgeranyl bacteriopheophytin, converting it to bacteriopheophytin a.
