Sequences BBa_K1998000_sequence (Version 1)

Description

This composite part is made up of various genes that form a part of the chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway. ChlI1 and ChlI2 forms a Mg-chelatase complex which catalyzes the insertion of magnesium ion into protoporphyrin IX to yield Mg-protoporphyrin IX. ChID forms an ATP dependent complex with ChlI1 and ChlI2 before acting of protoporphyrin. GUN4 is a tetrapyrrole-binding protein which controls the production of Mg-protoporphyrin IX found only in aerobic photsynthetic organisms. It is thought to participate in plastid-to-nucleus signalling by regulating Mg-protoporphyrin IX synthesis. Finally, ChlH is a chloroplast precursor which plays a role in the regulation of light in chlorophyll biosynthesis.



CTH1 is a functional protein that is developed in the prescense of oxygen or copper. It catalyzes Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl, which converts to divinyl protochlorophyllide in the presence of NADPH and O2.

Notes

Codon optimisation, order of parts in operon, illegal enzyme kinetics.
