ID 1.3.7.4 DE Phytochromobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase. AN P-Phi-B synthase. AN PFB synthase. AN Phytochromobilin synthase. CA (3Z)-phytochromobilin + oxidized ferredoxin = biliverdin IX-alpha + CA reduced ferredoxin. CC -!- Catalyzes the two-electron reduction of biliverdin IX-alpha. CC -!- Can use 2Fe-2S ferredoxins from a number of sources as acceptor but CC not the 4Fe-4S ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum. CC -!- The isomerization of (3Z)-phytochromobilin to (3E)-phytochromobilin CC is thought to occur prior to covalent attachment to apophytochrome in CC the plant cell cytoplasm. CC -!- Flavodoxins can be used instead of ferredoxin. DR Q9SR43, PFBS_ARATH ; //
