Abstract excerpt

Heme and chlorophyll (Chl) share a common biosynthetic pathway up to the branch point where magnesium chelatase and ferrochelatase (FeCH) insert either magnesium for Chl biosynthesis or ferrous iron for heme biosynthesis. A distinctive feature of FeCHs in cyanobacteria is their C-terminal extension, which forms a putative transmembrane segment containing a Chl-binding motif. We analyzed the deltaH324 strain of...
