The N-Terminal Domain of Chlorophyllide a Oxygenase Confers Protein Instability in Response to Chlorophyll b Accumulation in Arabidopsis

Abstract: Plants acclimate to variations in light intensity by changing the antenna size of photosystems. This acclimation allows them to undergo efficient photosynthesis and creates a protective strategy to minimize photodamage. Chlorophyll b synthesis by chlorophyllide a oxygenase (CAO) is a key regulatory step in the control of antenna size. Recently, we found that higher plant CAOs consist of three domains (A, B, and C domains) and confirmed that the C domain possesses catalytic function. To investigate the function… Show more

“…These reports suggest that the A domain is involved in the regulation of the CAO protein levels. Interestingly, this regulatory mechanism did not operate when the chlorophyll-b synthesizing activity was deficient [37]. This observation indicates that the level of CAO protein is regulated according to the amount of chlorophyll b.…”

“…In order to overexpress CAO-GFP fusion proteins, we modified the plasmid vector that was constructed in our previous study [37]. The vector contained the CaMV promoters, the tobacco mosaic virus 蠅 sequence, the GFP (S65T) sequence (kindly provided by Dr. Niwa, University of Shizuoka) and the nopaline terminator in the backbone of pGreenII-0029 (kindly provided from R.P.…”
