Outline of Final Research Achievements

Chlorophyllide oxidoreductase (COR) is important for the formation of a bacteriochlorin ring, and is a unique pigment biosynthesis enzyme which shows distinct substrate recognition and hydrogen addition activities, depending on the host strains. We found factors essential for making a model photosynthetic bacterium produce bacteriochlorophyll-b which absorbs near-infrared light. The important factors are the loss of functions of both intrinsic COR and 8-vinyl reductase and the genetic incorporation of the BchYZ catalytic components into the host strain. We are further analyzing substrate recognition of COR in detail and enzymatic activities of other pigment biosynthesis enzymes.
