EC 2.5.1.133 Details
EC number
2.5.1.133
Accepted name
bacteriochlorophyll a synthase
Reaction
geranylgeranyl diphosphate + bacteriochlorophyllide a = geranylgeranyl-bacteriochlorophyllide a + diphosphate
Other name(s)
bchG (gene name)
Systematic name
geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:bacteriochlorophyllide-a geranylgeranytransferase
Comment
The enzyme catalyses the addition of a geranylgeranyl hydrophobic chain to bacteriochlorophyllide a via an ester bond with the 17-propionate residue. The side chain is later modified to a phytyl chain, resulting in bacteriochlorophyll a.
