Phycoerythrobilin synthase

Field	Value
Name	Phycoerythrobilin synthase
EC_number	1.3.7.6

Phycoerythrobilin synthase (, PebS) is an enzyme with systematic name (3Z)-phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (from biliverdin IX alpha). It catalyses the following chemical reaction

This enzyme, from a cyanophage infecting oceanic cyanobacteria of the Prochlorococcus genus carries out in one step the reduction of biliverdin to (3Z)-phycoerythrobilin. The same overall reaction results from the action of 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase and phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase in oxygenic organisms.
