Partial Purification and Characterization of Red Chlorophyll Catabolite Reductase, a Stroma Protein Involved in Chlorophyll Breakdown

Abstract: Red chlorophyll (Chl) catabolite (RCC) reductase, which catalyzes the reaction of an intermediary Chl catabolite (RCC) in the two-step cleavage reaction of pheophorbide (Pheide) a into primary fluorescent catabolites (pFCCs) during Chl breakdown, was characterized and partially purified. RCC reductase activity was present at all stages of barley leaf development and even in roots. The highest specific activity was found in senescent leaves, which were used to purify RCC reductase 1000-fold. Among the remaining… Show more

“…The expression of 23 genes that have putative functions in photosynthesis and chlorophyll production was down-regulated in OX plants, with the exception of a putative red chlorophyll catabolite reductase, which has been shown to be involved in chlorophyll breakdown (Rodoni et al, 1997) and was up-regulated. The transcription of five genes with putative roles in senescence was higher in OX plants (Supplemental Table S3), which correlates with an early progression of senescence in the OX plants (Fig.…”

“…thylakoid (NYC1), stroma (NOL, PPH, RCCR) and envelope (PAO) (Scheumann et al 1999;Sato et al 2009;Rodoni et al 1997;Matile and Schellenberg 1996;Schelbert et al 2009). As a consequence, Chl pigment shuttling mechanisms between the thylakoid and the envelope have been postulated in the past (Matile et al 1999;Hörtensteiner 2006).…”

“…The second FCC is chromatographically identical to Ca-FCC-2, the primary FCC produced from Pheide a by enzyme preparations from the pericarp of ripening fruits of sweet pepper (Moser and In the uncoupled reaction, RCC reductase may be able to interact with its substrate, RCC, without spatial restriction by the oxygenase and, therefore, produce FCCs with different configurations, whereas only one product is formed in the coupled assay. In a second report (Rodoni et al, 1997), we demonstrate that in a coupled assay RCC reductases prepared from different plant sources either produce the Bn-FCC-2 or the Ca-FCC-2 type of primary FCCs. We have not been able to identify the nature of the third and most polar FCC emerging in the uncoupled reaction of RCC reductase.…”
