the (gun5) mutation abolishes activity of Mg-chelatase subunit H. Increasing the ChlH concentration up to 0.02 mM restores approximately 50% activity in the presence of the gun5 mutation. The addition of Gun4 restores Mg-chelatase activity of the gun5 mutant enzyme
E152Q
-
mutation in the AAA+ domain of ChlD binds to ChlI. Mutant shows low activity but assembles into complexes much like wild-type. Mutant shows 25% of wild-type activity. kcat/K0.5 for Mg2+ is 30% of wild-type. kcat and Km for deuteroporphyrin are reduced to the same extent
K49A
-
mutation in the AAA+ domain of ChlD binds to ChlI. Mutant shows no activity. Mutant forms detecable amount of ChlID complexes
P595L
-
the (cch) mutation abolishes activity of Mg-chelatase subunit H. Increasing the ChlH concentration up to 0.02 mM fully restores activity in the presence of the cch mutation. The addition of Gun4 restores Mg-chelatase activity of the cch mutant enzyme
R208A
-
mutation in the AAA+ domain of ChlD binds to ChlI. Mutant shows reduced binding affinity to ChlI.Mutant shows 50% of wild-type activity (least impaired mutant). Effect on substrate handling is modest compared to wild-type. Specifictiy constants for Mg2+ and porphyrin are 70% of wild-type
R289A
-
mutation in the AAA+ domain of ChlD binds to ChlI. Mutant shows reduced binding affinity to ChlI. Mutant shows 13% of wild-type activity. Mutant does not show a cooperative response to MgATP2- and has much weaker specificity toward Mg2+ than wild-type. Mutant has a lower specificity toward free porphyrin than wild-type
