Résumé

Synechococcus cyanobacteria are widespread in the marine environment, as the extensive pigment diversity within their light-harvesting phycobilisomes enables them to utilize various wavelengths of light for photosynthesis. The phycobilisomes of Synechococcus sp. RS9916 contain two forms of the protein phycoerythrin (PEI and PEII), each binding two chromophores, green-light absorbing phycoerythrobilin and blue-light absorbing phycourobilin. These chromophores are ligated to specific cysteines via bilin lyases, and some of these enzymes, called lyase isomerases, attach phycoerythrobilin and simultaneously isomerize it to phycourobilin. MpeV is a putative lyase isomerase whose role in PEI and PEII biosynthesis is not clear. We examined MpeV in RS9916 using recombinant protein expression, absorbance spectroscopy, and tandem mass spectrometry. Our results show that MpeV is the lyase isomerase that covalently attaches a doubly linked phycourobilin to two cysteine residues (C50, C61) on the β-subunit of both PEI (CpeB) and PEII (MpeB). MpeV activity requires that CpeB or MpeB is first chromophorylated by the lyase CpeS (which adds phycoerythrobilin to C82). Its activity is further enhanced by CpeZ (a homolog of a chaperone-like protein first characterized in Fremyella diplosiphon). MpeV showed no detectable activity on the α-subunits of PEI or PEII. The mechanism by which MpeV links the A and D rings of phycourobilin to C50 and C61 of CpeB was also explored using site-directed mutants, revealing that linkage at the A ring to C50 is a critical step in chromophore attachment, isomerization, and stability. These data provide novel insights into β-PE biosynthesis and advance our understanding of the mechanisms guiding lyase isomerases.
