Glossary: phycocyanobilin = 3,31-didehydro-2,3-dihydromesobiliverdin

Other name(s): cpcS (gene name); cpeS (gene name); cpcS1 (gene name); cpcU (gene name); phycocyanobilin:Cys-β84-phycobiliprotein lyase
Systematic name: [phycobiliprotein]-Cys84-phycobilin:phycobilin lyase
Comments: The enzyme, found in cyanobacteria and red algae, catalyses the attachment of phycobilin chromophores to cysteine 84 of several phycobiliproteins (the numbering used here corresponds to the enzyme from Anabaena, in other organisms the number may vary slightly). It can attach phycocyanobilin to the β subunits of C-phycocyanin and phycoerythrocyanin and to both subunits of allophycocyanin. In addition, it can attach phycoerythrobilin to both subunits of C-phycoerythrin.
