KEGG   ENZYME: 3.1.1.100
Entry
EC 3.1.1.100                Enzyme                                 
Name
chlorophyllide a hydrolase;
bciC (gene name)
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on ester bonds;
Carboxylic-ester hydrolases
Sysname
chlorophyllide-a hydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
chlorophyllide a + H2O = 8-ethyl-12-methyl-3-vinyl-bacteriochlorophyllide d + methanol + CO2 [RN:R09061]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09061
Substrate
chlorophyllide a [CPD:C02139];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
8-ethyl-12-methyl-3-vinyl-bacteriochlorophyllide d;
methanol [CPD:C00132];
CO2 [CPD:C00011]
Comment
This enzyme, found in green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae) and green filamentous bacteria (Chloroflexaceae), catalyses the first committed step in the biosynthesis of bacteriochlorophylls c, d, and e, the removal of the C-132-methylcarboxyl group from chlorophyllide a. The reaction is very similar to the conversion of pheophorbide a to pyropheophorbide a during chlorophyll a degradation, which is catalysed by EC 3.1.1.82, pheophorbidase.
