Overview

This composite part consists of the genes yCF54 and chlM. They come from the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The genes encode the enzymes Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester (oxidative) cyclase (yCF54) and Magnesium-protoporphyrin O-methyltransferase (chlM). When combined with the Mg-chelatase plasmid BBa_K1998000, it can convert protoporphyrin IX to protochlorophyllide.

Biology & Literature

These two genes within this part are used within an operon in the biosynthesis pathway. cF54 works with the cTH1 gene and Plastocyanin within the oxidative cyclase pathway. It's interaction with other genes results in the catalysis of the biosynthesis pathway from Mg-protoporphyrin IX to Protochlorophyllide [1]. Deletion studies have detected the importance of yCF54 in maintaining levels of Mg-protoporphyrin IX methyl ester indicating that the yCF54 gene is critical to both the assembly and function of the cyclase complex [1].

The second gene in this part is chlM. chlM encodes for a magnesium protoporhyrin IX methytransferase. chlM's role in the pathway is to methylate Mg-protoporphyrin IX which then aids the catalysis of Mg-cheltase [2]. This then facilitates the formation of the final protochlorophyllide. Involved in the second step of the pathway, the chlM gene is involved in the transfer of a methyl group onto one of the rings of magnesium protoporphyrin which forms the magnesium prootoporhyrin IX monomethylester [3, 4].
