ChlM
Mg protoporphyrin IX S-adenosyl methionine O-methyl transferase - Magnesium-protoporphyrin O-methyltransferase (ChlM) [PMID: 12828371; 12489983; 4436384]; ChloroP 1.1 predicts cp location
Operon Usage
This gene has been used in an operon with other genes responsible for catalysing the biosynthesis pathway from Mg-protoporphyrin IX to Protochlorophyllide. CTH1, Plastocyanin, and YCF54 are involved in the oxidative cyclase pathway. ChlM methylates Mg-protoporphyrin IX, facilitating the highly-regulated catalysis of Mg-chelatase. CTH1 catalyses the conversion of Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl into divinyl protochlorophyllide, interacting with YCF54 and Plastocyanin.
The insertion of magnesium is the key component of the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway.
The plasmid is under the control of the lac promoter.
