摘要

Allophycocyanin ( APC) is one of the phycobiliproteins expressed in cyanobacteria. Phycobiliproteins contain a covalently bound chromophore, and thus, they are valuable as fluorescent probes. Biosynthesis of a functional phycobiliprotein is achieved by a bilin attachment process between the chromophore and apoprotein. Chromophore lyases are necessary to catalyze the chromophorylation of cyanobacterial phycobiliproteins, such as C-phycocyanin, and phycoerythrocyanin. To identify the lyase that catalyzes the chromophorylation of the APC alpha-subunit ( ApcA), we searched the entire genomes of two cyanobacteria, Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 and Anabaena sp. PCC 7120; however, these genomes do not appear to encode an APC-specific chromophore lyase. In this study, chromophorylated ApcA ( chromo-ApcA) was obtained via a spontaneous bilin attachment reaction. The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of chromo-ApcA were similar to those of the native APC alpha-subunit. The extent of chromophore attachment to apo-ApcA was comparable to that of the lyase-catalyzed reactions for other phycobiliproteins. These results indicate that ApcA has autocatalytic bilin: biliprotein lyase activity.
