chlorophyllide-a oxygenase
Cat No.
EXWM-0723
Description
Chlorophyll b is required for the assembly of stable light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) in the chloroplast of green algae, cyanobacteria and plants. Contains a mononuclear iron centre. The enzyme catalyses two successive hydroxylations at the 7-methyl group of chlorophyllide a. The second step yields the aldehyde hydrate, which loses H2O spontaneously to form chlorophyllide b. Chlorophyll a and protochlorophyllide a are not substrates.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Enzyme Commission Number
CAS No.
216503-73-0
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
chlorophyllide a oxygenase; chlorophyll-b synthase; CAO
Reaction
chlorophyllide a + 2 O2 + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ = chlorophyllide b + 3 H2O + 2NADP+ (overall reaction); (1a) chlorophyllide a + O2 + NADPH + H+ = 71-hydroxychlorophyllide a + H2O + NADP+; (1b) 71-hydroxychlorophyllide a + O2 + NADPH + H+ = chlorophyllide b + 2 H2O + NADP+
