Abstract excerpt
Chlorophyll b is one of the major light-harvesting pigments produced by land plants, green algae and several cyanobacterial species. It is synthesized from chlorophyll a by chlorophyllide a oxygenase (CAO), which in higher plants consists of three domains, namely, A, B, and C. We previously demonstrated that the C domain exhibits a catalytic function, whereas the A domain destabilizes the CAO protein in the...
