Overview
This composite part makes up one of our operons in the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway. It is composed of YCF54, ChlM, POR, DVR1, ChlP and ChlG. These genes are Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester (oxidative) cyclase (YCF54) and Magnesium-protoporphyrin O-methyltransferase (ChlM), Light-dependent protochlorophyllidereductase (POR), 3,8-divinyl, Geranylgeranyl reductase(ChlP), protochlorophyllidea 8-vinyl reductase (DVR1) and Chlorophyll synthetase (ChlG).
These genes are part of the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway and are involved in converting Mg-protoporphyrin IX to chlorophyll
Biology & Literature
These two genes within this part are used within an operon in the biosynthesis pathway. YCF54 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].
The POR gene is a light dependent protochlorophyllidereductase. It's role is to convert protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide using NADPH and light as the reductant. Formation of the POR protein in plants is important as without it the chloroplasts do not function [5, 6]. The protochlorophyllide reduces to chlorophyllide by being excited through light functioning as a catalysis. The excitation of the POR molecule and therefore the transformation of it to chlorophyllide cause the conversion of the membranes from an inactive state into active chloroplast [7]. Through this transformation into active chloroplasts, energy is produced and now able to be used by the plant.
Geranylgeranyl reductase - ChlP is a hydrogenase enzyme that reduces the double bonds of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to form phytol pyrophosphate
3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllidea 8-vinyl reductase - DVR1 reduces divinyl protochlorophyllide a to monovinyl protochlorophyllide a
Reaction:
Chlorophyll synthetase - ChlG catalyses the esterification of chlorophyllide with phytyl-pyrophosphate or geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate in chloroplasts, producing chlorophyll
