Outline of Final Research Achievements

PcyA, one of the ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductases, is an enzyme that biosynthesizes phycocyanobilin from the heme degradation product, biliverdin (BV). In this reaction, two-electron reduction and two-protonation (reduction using a total of four electrons and four protons) are catalyzed in two steps. In order to elucidate this unique reaction mechanism at hydrogen atom level, we aimed at neutron crystal structure analysis of reaction intermediates and mutants of PcyA. The crystal growth was successful for two variants (I86D, D105N), and neutron diffraction experiments were performed. We succeeded collecting data corresponding to a resolution of 1.6 angstrome; for the both mutants. Structure refinements were in progress for both structures, and differences in the protonation state of BV were observed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

この酵素により生合成される色素は、光合成に使わる色素の一つであり、また、光センサーとしても機能していることが知られている。この色素の合成機構を理解することは、人工的に合成することにも応用可能である。PcyA変異体では、フィコシアノビリンとは異なる状態で反応が止まり、その中間体は特異な吸収スペクトルを示す。吸収スペクトルが異なるということは、吸収する光の波長(すなわちエネルギー領域)が異なることを意味し、太陽光の効率的な利用に有用である。今回の研究で得られた結果は、近い将来にPcyAの反応機構を明らかにするための実験的なデータとして使われ、類縁構造を持った色素の開発につながる可能性もある。
