Regulation of Chlorophyll Biosynthesis in Angiosperms.
Light controls plant growth and development in a pleiotropic manner. For example, light dictates a pattern of gene expression that leads to photomorphogenesis (Kendrick and Kronenberg, 1994). In the absence of light, an alternative developmental process, skotomorphogenesis, takes place. Photomorphogenesis and skotomorphogenesis are controlled by severa1 different photoreceptors, such as Pr and ...
متن کاملChlorophyll Biosynthesis.
A leaf with 70 million cells houses .v5 x 109 chloroplasts, each containing m600 million molecules of chlorophyll (Simpson and Knoetzel, 1995). These 10’8 chlorophyll molecules, all of which are bound to proteins of the photosynthetic membranes, harvest the sunlight. Approximately 250 to 300 of them transfer the absorbed light energy through neighboring pigments to the “special pair” chlorophyl...
متن کاملGenetic Control of Chlorophyll Biosynthesis in Chlamydomonas
In this report we describe two nonallelic Mendelian protoporphyrin accumulating mutants br(s)-1 and br(c)-1. Results of experiments with these mutants lead us to postulate that porphyrin biosynthesis branches into light and dark steps between protoporphyrin-IX and magnesium protoporphyrin. We hypothesize that the br(c) locus controls a dark step while the br(s) locus either controls a step in t...
متن کاملLight regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis at the level of 5-aminolevulinate formation in Arabidopsis.
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is the universal precursor of tetrapyrroles, such as chlorophyll and heme. The major control of chlorophyll biosynthesis is at the step of ALA formation. In the chloroplasts of plants, as in Escherichia coli, ALA is derived from the glutamate of Glu-tRNA via the two-step C5 pathway. The first enzyme, Glu-tRNA reductase, catalyzes the reduction of Glu-tRNA to glutamat...
متن کاملLight Regulation of Chlorophyll Biosynthesis at the Leve 1 of 5 - Aminolevulinate Formation in Arabidopsis
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is the universal precursor of tetrapyrroles, such as chlorophyll and heme. The major control of chlorophyll biosynthesis is at the step of ALA formation. In the chloroplasts of plants, as in Escherichia coli, ALA is derived from the glutamate of GIu-tRNA via the two-step C5 pathway. The first enzyme, GIu-tRNA reductase, catalyzes the reduction of GIu-tRNA to glutamat...
