How Plants Dispose of Chlorophyll Catabolites

Abstract: During the yellowing of leaves the porphyrin moiety of chlorophyll is cleaved into colorless linear tetrapyrrolic catabolites, which eventually are deposited in the central vacuoles of mesophyll cells. In senescent cotyledons of rape, Brassica napus, three nonfluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (NCCs), accounting for practically all the chlorophyll broken down, were found to be located in the vacuoles (vacuoplasts) prepared from protoplasts. Transport of catabolites across the tonoplast was studied with vacuol… Show more

“…PAO catalyzes the cleavage of the porphyrin ring, resulting in the red chlorophyll catabolite, which is further reduced in to pFCC by RCCR. The resulting primary fluorescent catabolite pFCCs are exported from the plastid and after further modification they are imported into their final destination, the vacuole by a primary active transport system [14], [15].…”

“…Reciprocally, AtMRP2-dependent DNP-GS uptake is not inhibited appreciably by the inclusion of Bn-NCC-1 in the uptake medium (17 (17). Although it was initially surprising to find that AtMRP2 can transport both Bn-NCC-1 and GS conjugates, because the functionality, and by implication the pump, responsible for MgATP-energized Bn-NCC-1 uptake by barley vacuoles had earlier been concluded to be different from that responsible for GS conjugate uptake in that GS conjugates did not compete with Bn-NCC-1 for uptake (19), it is now clear, at least in the case of some AtMRPs, that lack of competition between candidate substrates does not automatically preclude their transport by the same transporter.…”
