Regulation of the Late Steps of Chlorophyll Biosynthesis

摘要: The regulatory network that controls formation of the various components photosynthetic machinery becomes evident when late steps chlorophyll biosynthesis are investigated by deregulation. A major point is revealed a dark-to-light shift revealing interplay between light dependent reduction protochlorophyllide to chlorophyllide with phase transitions plastid membranes and stable accumulation a-binding proteins. second part deals b formation, details which controversially disputed in literature. This connected nuclear-encoded proteins light-harvesting complexes; expression their genes, turn, responds signals one precursor. Finally, hypothetical role for carotenoids maintain well-regulated tetrapyrrole pathway will be discussed.
