IPR011799

Description

IPR011799 is a Chlorophyll synthase, ChlG.

<p>This entry represents the strictly cyanobacterial and plant-specific chlorophyll synthase ChlG. ChlG is the enzyme (esterase) which attaches the side chain moiety onto chlorophyllide a. Both geranylgeranyl and phytyl pyrophosphates are substrates to varying degrees in enzymes from different sources [[cite:PUB00015452]]. Thus, ChlG may act as the final or penultimate step in chlorophyll biosynthesis (along with the geranylgeranyl reductase, ChlP).</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Biological process Chlorophyll biosynthetic process The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of chlorophyll, any compound of magnesium complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring and which functions as a photosynthetic pigment, from less complex precursors.
Cellular component Integral component of membrane The component of a membrane consisting of the gene products and protein complexes having at least some part of their peptide sequence embedded in the hydrophobic region of the membrane.
Molecular function Chlorophyll synthetase activity Catalysis of the reaction: chlorophyllide a + 2 H(+) + phytyl diphosphate = chlorophyll a + diphosphate.
