Chlorophyll Breakdown in Senescent Banana Leaves: Catabolism Reprogrammed for Biosynthesis of Persistent Blue Fluorescent Tetrapyrroles
Chlorophyll breakdown is a visual phenomenon of leaf senescence and fruit ripening. It leads to the formation of colorless chlorophyll catabolites, a group of (chlorophyll-derived bilin-type) linear tetrapyrroles. Here, analysis and structure elucidation of the chlorophyll breakdown products in leaves of banana (Musa acuminata) is reported. In senescent leaves of this monocot all chlorophyll ca...
متن کاملChlorophyll Breakdown in Senescent Leaves.
The biosynthetic pathway of Chl, probably the most important pigment in the biosphere, has been studied in considerable detail and is mentioned in plant physiology textbooks. Oddly enough, however, the breakdown of Chl is barely mentioned. Yet, as pointed out by Hendry et al. (1987), an estimated one billion tons of Chl are broken down every year, seemingly without leaving a trace. The only enz...
متن کاملChlorophyll breakdown in senescent Arabidopsis leaves. Characterization of chlorophyll catabolites and of chlorophyll catabolic enzymes involved in the degreening reaction.
During senescence, chlorophyll (chl) is metabolized to colorless nonfluorescent chl catabolites (NCCs). A central reaction of the breakdown pathway is the ring cleavage of pheophorbide (pheide) a to a primary fluorescent chl catabolite. Two enzymes catalyze this reaction, pheide a oxygenase (PAO) and red chl catabolite reductase. Five NCCs and three fluorescent chl catabolites (FCCs) accumulate...
متن کاملStructures of Chlorophyll Catabolites in Bananas (Musa acuminata) Reveal a Split Path of Chlorophyll Breakdown in a Ripening Fruit
The disappearance of chlorophyll is a visual sign of fruit ripening. Yet, chlorophyll breakdown in fruit has hardly been explored; its non-green degradation products are largely unknown. Here we report the analysis and structure elucidation of colorless tetrapyrrolic chlorophyll breakdown products in commercially available, ripening bananas (Musa acuminata, Cavendish cultivar). In banana peels,...
متن کاملChlorophyll Catabolites in Senescent Leaves of the Lime Tree (Tilia cordata)
In cold extracts of senescent leaves of the Lime tree (Tilia cordata), two colorless nonfluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (NCCs) were identified, named Tc-NCC-1 and Tc-NCC-2, as well as a polar yellow chlorophyll catabolite (YCC), named Tc-YCC. The constitution of the two NCCs was determined by spectroscopic means. In addition, a tentative structure was derived for Tc-YCC. The three chlorophy...
