Light-independent chlorophyll biosynthesis: involvement of the chloroplast gene chlL (frxC).

The Plant cell - 1 Aug 1992

Suzuki J Y, Bauer C E

Abstract excerpt

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast gene chlL (frxC) is shown to be involved in the light-independent conversion of protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide. The polypeptide encoded by chlL contains a striking 53% amino acid sequence identity with the bacteriochlorophyll (bch) biosynthesis bchL gene product in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. In a previous analysis, we demonstrated that...
