Plac + CTH1 + YCF54 + Plasto + ChlM

Composite part incorporating the genes comprising the middle third of the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway. CTH1 (copper targeting protein) and YCF54 make up the oxidative cyclase pathway. Their proteins create the fifth ring in the chlorophyll molecule. Plastocyanin is a copper-containing chloroplast precursor protein. Copper is involved in electron transfer on plastocyanin's functional site between cytochrome f (from cyctochrome b6f complex, from photosystem II) and P700+ (from photosystem I). ChlM is shorthand for Magnesium-protoporphyrin O-methyltransferase, which catalyses the methylation of magnesium protoporphyrin IX., frming magnesium protoporphyrin IX monomethylester.
