Abstract excerpt
The first step of chlorophyll biosynthesis is catalyzed by a Mg-chelatase composed of the subunits CHLI, CHLD and CHLH. Mg-chelatase requires ATP hydrolysis that can be attributed to CHLI. Arabidopsis has two CHLI isoforms, CHLI1 and CHLI2, that have similar expression profiles, but it has been s...
