A Putative Mg Chelatase Subunit from Arabidopsis thaliana cv C24 (Sequence and Transcript Analysis of the Gene, Import of the Protein into Chloroplasts, and in Situ Localization of the Transcript and Protein

Abstract: We have isolated and sequenced a cDNA from Arabidopsis tbaliana cv C24 that encodes a putative Mg chelatase subunit. The deduced amino acid sequence shows a very high level of identity to a gene previously characterized from Antirrbinum majus (olive) and also high similarity to bcbH, a bacterial gene involved i n the Mg chelatase reaction of bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis. We suggest that this gene be called CHL H. Northern blot analyses were used to investigate the expression of CHL H, another putative Mg c… Show more

“…The major impediment was the lack of an in itro assay, which was only achieved 6 years ago [2]. Since that time our knowledge of Mg-chelatase has expanded dramatically to the extent that the enzyme has been cloned and sequenced from several photosynthetic species [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Mg-chelatase is readily solubilized from membranes in the absence of Mg [5,19,27]. The solubilized proteins have been separated into three fractions by pseudoaffinity chromatography and ultrafiltration [28], and all three fractions are necessary for Mg-chelatase activity.…”
