Enzyme Information

1.3.7.12
Red chlorophyll catabolite reductase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8LDU4
Primary fluorescent chlorophyll catabolite + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron- sulfur] cluster = red chlorophyll catabolite + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H(+).
-!- The enzyme participates in chlorophyll degradation, which occurs during leaf senescence and fruit ripening in higher plants. -!- The reaction requires reduced ferredoxin, which is generated from NADPH produced either through the pentose-phosphate pathway or by the action of photosystem I. -!- This reaction takes place while red chlorophyll catabolite is still bound to EC 1.14.15.17. -!- Depending on the plant species used as the source of enzyme, one of two possible C-1 epimers of primary fluorescent chlorophyll catabolite (pFCC), pFCC-1 or pFCC-2, is normally formed, with all genera or species within a family producing the same isomer. -!- After modification and export, pFCCs are eventually imported into the vacuole, where the acidic environment causes their non-enzymic conversion into colorless breakdown products called non-fluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (NCCs). -!- Formerly EC 1.3.1.80.
