藻红蓝蛋白裂合异构酶对几种脱辅基藻胆蛋白的催化作用

PecE/PecF是层理鞭枝藻藻红蓝蛋白α亚基(α-PEC)生物合成的裂合异构酶。以4种脱辅基藻胆蛋白为底物，初步研究了PecE/PecF对底物蛋白的催化专一性。结果表明，PecE/PecF可催化藻蓝胆素(PCB)与高度同源的层理鞭枝藻不同亚种的α-PEC脱辅基蛋白的体外重组，也可催化经128位Trp定点突变到Phe而得到的α-PEC脱辅基蛋白的体外重组，但PecE/PecF对PCB与藻蓝蛋白α亚基(α-CPC)脱辅基蛋白的体外重组无催化作用。A-PEC脱辅基蛋白的重组不受表面活性剂Triton X-100的影响，而Triton X-100可改进PCB与α-CPC脱辅基蛋白的重组。

Catalysis of Lyase-isomerase PecE/PecF for Seve ral Apophycobiliproteins

Phycoerythrocyanin(PEC) lyase-isomerase PecE/PecF from Mastigocladus laminosus is the specific enzyme for biosynthesis of PEC alpha-subunit(alpha-PEC). In this work, the specificity of PecE/PecF on substrate apoproteins was reported. PecE/PecF could catalyse the reconstitution of phycocyanobilin(PCB) with apoproteins of alpha-PEC from two different subspecies of Mastigocladus laminosus, as well the site-directed mutated apoprotein of alpha-PEC with Trp at 128 to Phe in vitro, but could not catalyse the reconstitution of PCB with apoprotein of phycocyanin alpha-subunit(alpha-CPC) from Mastigocladus laminosus. The surfactant Triton X-100 had no effect for the reconstitution of alpha-PEC, while it could improve the reconstitution of PCB with apoprotein of alpha-CPC.
