Abstract excerpt
Magnesium chelatase (MgCh) catalyzes the insertion of magnesium into protoporphyrin IX, a vital step in chlorophyll (Chl) biogenesis. The enzyme consists of 3 subunits, MgCh I subunit (CHLI), MgCh D subunit (CHLD), and MgCh H subunit (CHLH). The CHLI subunit is an ATPase that mediates catalysis. Previous studies on CHLI have mainly focused on model plant species, and its functions in other species have not been...
