gene pebA, in Synechococcus sp. WH8020, the genes encoding for pebA and pebB share an overlapping region. The pebA stop codon TGA is part of the pebB start codon ATG, recombinant expression of a translational fusion between pebA and pebB, N-terminally Strep-tagged and C-terminally His-tagged PebAgB, recombinant expression of GST-tagged PebA in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) | Synechococcus sp.

additional information | analysis wether addition of PebB to the immobilized PebA-DHBV complex will result in the interaction of PebA and PebB and, therefore, cause retention of PebB on the column. Retention of PebB on the immobilized PebA column is not observed, but a transfer of almost all PebA-bound DHBV to PebB is seen, DHBV is washed off the column with regular washing buffer. in Synechococcus sp. WH8020, the genes encoding for pebA and pebB share an overlapping region. The pebA stop codon TGA is part of the pebB start codon ATG. In order to generate a translational fusion between pebA and pebB, a guanine base is inserted into the start-stop region of the pebAB-operon generating an artificial fusion of both enzymes, termed PebAgB. The newly generated codon GTG encodes for a valine residue, which then serves as a diminutive linker between PebA and PebB. This fusion protein is significantly different to the phage encoded PebS (EC 1.3.7.6), which is a homologue to PebA. But the fusion protein PebAgB shows PebS-like activity. Comparison of the PebAgB-catalyzed conversion of BV with an assay containing both PebA and PebB reveals no significant changes in velocity | Synechococcus sp. WH 8020 |

metabolism | during the biosynthesis of light-harvesting phycobilins in cyanobacteria, two members of the ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductases are involved in the reduction of the open-chain tetrapyrrole biliverdin IXa to the pink pigment phycoerythrobilin. The first reaction is catalyzed by 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PebA) and produces the unstable intermediate 15,16-dihydrobiliverdin (DHBV). This intermediate is subsequently channeled to and converted by phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase to the final product phycoerythrobilin. An on-column assay employing immobilized enzyme in combination with UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy reveals that both enzymes transiently interact and that transfer of the intermediate is facilitated by a significantly higher binding affinity of DHBV toward phycoerythrobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PebB, EC 1.3.7.3). The intermediate DHBV is transferred via proximity channeling | Synechococcus sp. WH 8020 |
