Chlorophyll B Reductase (CBR)

Chlorophyll B Reductase is a naturally occurring plant enzyme, encoded by the gene NYC1, which catalyzes the first step of chlorophyll b degradation (Horie et al. 2009). Specifically, chlorophyll b reductase converts chlorophyll b into 7-Hydroxymethyl Chlorophyll a.

Usage and Biology

BBa_K3114008 is a golden gate compatible part which allows insertion of the NYC1 gene into genetic circuits to express the enzyme chlorophyll B reductase.
