Last Steps in Chlorophyll Biosynthesis: Esterification and Insertion into the Membrane

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Nato ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 226))

Abstract

Chloroplast biogenesis requires coordination of many biosynthetic pathways. Coordinate accumulation of nuclear encoded and plastid encoded proteins is only one aspect. Such coordination exists also in the area of chloroplast pigments. An example is chlorophyll biosynthesis and accumulation: Chlorophyll precursor molecules are derived not only from the porphyrin pathway but also from the isoprenoid pathway. For stabilization of the pigment, plastid and nuclear encoded chlorophyll apoproteins are required. Assembly of chlorophyll protein complexes depends also on other cofactors, e.g. carotenoids. I wish to concentrate upon the esterification of chlorophyllide at first which connects the porphyrin and the isoprenoid pathways. In the second part of my contribution, the present knowledge on interaction of chlorophyll and chlorophyll precursors with apoprotein formation and assembly will be summarized.
