autolysis of chlorophyll appears to be brought about by enzymatic activity of chlorophyllase which upon membrane disruption and solubilization obtains access to its chlorophyll substrate |
| 3.1.1.14 | chlorophyll + H2O |
Chlase is a rate-limiting enzyme in chlorophyll catabolism and is posttranslationally regulated, it catalyzes the cleavage of the hydrophobic thylakoid-anchoring phytol chain of chlorophyll from the porphyrin ring, resulting in the product chlorophyllide, which retains the typical green color, chlorophyll catabolic pathway, overview |
| 3.1.1.14 | chlorophyll b + H2O |
chlorophyll b is recognized and degraded with greater efficiency than chlorophyll a |
| 3.1.1.14 | chlorophyll + H2O |
chlorophyllase catalyzes the initial hydrolysis of the phytol moiety from the pigment in the degradation of chlorophyll, overview |
| 3.1.1.14 | chlorophyll + H2O |
chlorophyllase is the first enzyme in the degradation pathway of chlorophyll, resulting in postharvest yellowing in broccoli |
