the process for the formation of the unique isocyclic fifth ring of chlorophyll involves the conversion of Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester (MgPME) to 3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide a (DV PChlide a), and it requires incorporation of an oxygen atom, sourced from either water or O2, indicating the existence of two mechanistically different MgPME cyclases. Most anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria utilise an O2-sensitive radical SAM enzyme containing [4Fe-4S] and cobalamin cofactors to catalyse the reaction, while oxygenic phototrophs including cyanobacteria, algae and plants, as well as some purple bacteria, adopt an O2-dependent cyclase for the reaction. Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester (MgPME) cyclase catalyses the formation of the isocyclic ring, the hallmark of chlorins and bacteriochlorins, producing protochlorophyllide a and contributing significantly to the absorption properties of chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls. Three classes of O2-dependent cyclase have been identified, all with a catalytic subunit AcsF, a putative diiron protein, but they differ in the requirement for an auxiliary subunit, either Ycf54 for the enzyme found in oxygenic phototrophs, or BciE for the alphaproteobacterial enzyme |

1.14.13.81 | evolution |
two distinct enzymes have been identified that catalyze the cyclase reaction, originally distinguished by the source of the incorporated oxygen. The enzyme that catalyzes the cyclase reaction in the absence of molecular oxygen (anaerobic) derives the oxygen from water and is encoded by bchE in facultative photosynthetic bacteria like Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The anaerobic enzyme functions as a hydratase, whereas the aerobic cyclase is an oxygenase. The aerobic cyclase belongs to the family of diiron carboxylate-bridged proteins characterized by the iron-binding motif E-Xn-E-X-X-H-Xn-E-Xn-E-X-X-H. The cyclase activity requires both additional soluble and membrane-bound fractions |

a Rubrivivax gelatinosus strain with disrupted acsF gene cannot synthesize bacteriochlorophyll under oxygenated conditions but accumulates the substrate magnesium-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester, in contrast, under low-oxygene conditions the phenotype is similar to the wild-type, an alternative pathway for the reaction exists vie the bchE genes |

chlorophyll biosynthesis upstream genes are highly expressed in the yl-1 mutant, while downstream genes are compromised, indicating that enzyme MPEC plays a pivotal role in the chlorophyll biosynthesis. The yl-1 mutant shows a yellow leaf and panicle phenotype with reduced chlorophyll accumulation through the whole growth phases. Mutant yl-1 exhibits the temperature-independent yellow leaf phenotype, it presents abnormal chloroplast development and attenuated photosynthetic efficiency. The mutant yl-1 affects mRNA accumulation levels of Chl biosynthesis process |
