(1b) 5-bromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl-[Bmp1 peptidyl-carrier protein] + FADH2 + bromide + O2 = 4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl-[Bmp1 peptidyl-carrier protein] + FAD + 2 H2O
(1c) 4,5-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl-[Bmp1 peptidyl-carrier protein] + FADH2 + bromide + O2 = 3,4,5-tribromo-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl-[Bmp1 peptidyl-carrier protein] + FAD + 2 H2O
Other name(s): bmp2 (gene name)
Systematic name: 1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl-[peptidyl-carrier protein]:FADH2 oxidoreductase (brominating)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from marine bacteria of the Pseudoalteromonas genus, belongs to a family of FAD-dependent halogenases that act on acyl-carrier protein-tethered substrates. It catalyses three successive rounds of bromination. While the order has not been verified, it is believed to resemble that of EC 1.14.19.56, S-(1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl)-[peptidyl-carrier protein] chlorinase, due to significant sequence homology. Reduced FAD is provided in situ by a dedicated reductase and diffuses into the active site, where it reacts with the oxygen and bromide ion, resulting in formation of a bromoamine intermediate on a catalytic lysine side chain, and the eventual transfer of the bromide to the substrate. The enzyme from Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea 2ta16 is specific for bromide and does not accept chloride.
