- phytochromobilin biosynthetic process
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of phytochromobilin, which involves the oxidative cleavage of heme by a heme oxygenase(HO) to form biliverdin IX alpha.
- phycocyanobilin biosynthetic process
The chemical reactions or pathway resulting in the formation of phycocyanobilin, which involves the oxidative cleavage of heme by a heme oxygenase (HO) to form biliverdin IX alpha. Biliverdin IX alpha is subsequently converted to phycocyanobilin by a ferredoxin-dependent oxidoreductase (PCYA).
- cell hair
A long, thin cell projection that contains F-actin and tubulin, with microtubules centrally located and F-actin peripherally located.
