2. 6. Enzymatic metal-chelation by porphyrins

   Author : Andreas Hansson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tetrapyrrole; Plant biochemistry; Växtbiokemi; MIDAS; metallation; magnesium chelatase; integrin; heme; ferrochelatase; chlorophyll; barley; AAA ; ATPase;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the structure and function of two different enzymes, ferrochelatase and magnesium chelatase, that catalyse similar reactions. When this work started, a three-dimensional model of ferrochelatase existed. Much was known about the enzyme, but some details remained unclear. READ MORE

4. 7. Insights into structure and dynamics of the AAA+ motor of magnesium chelatase

   Author : Joakim Lundqvist; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioinformatik; biomathematics biometrics; Bioinformatics; medical informatics; Rhodobacter capsulatus; Tetrapyrrole; Mutants; Magnesium chelatase; Cryo-Electron microscopy single-particle 3D reconstruction; Chlorophyll biosynthesis; AAA proteins; ATPase; medicinsk informatik; biomatematik; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik; Natural science; Naturvetenskap;

   Abstract : The insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX represents the first committed step in the chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll biosynthetic pathways. The reaction is catalyzed by the multisubunit enzyme Mg-chelatase, which consists of three subunits, known as I (molecular weight ~40 kDa), D (~70 kDa), and H (~140 kDa). READ MORE

5. 8. The Small Cab-like Proteins in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

   Author : Miguel Angel Hernández-Prieto; Christiane Funk; Conrad Mullineaux; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photosynthesis; Photosystem II; chlorophyll-binding proteins; tetrapyrrole biosynthesis; photodamage; non-photochemical quenching; SCPs; LHCII; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : The Small Cab-like Proteins (SCPs) in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 accumulate in cells grown under different stress conditions. Genes coding for SCPs have been found in all sequenced organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis and even in the genomes of cyanophages. READ MORE

6. 9. Get in tune : chloroplast and nucleus harmony

   Author : Dmitry Kremnev; Åsa Strand; Francis-Andre Wollman; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis thaliana; chloroplast; development; gene expression;

   Abstract : Photosynthetic eukaryots emerged as a result of several billion years of evolution between proeukaryotic cell and ancestral cyanobacteria that formed modern chloroplasts. The symbiotic relationship led to significant rearrangements in the genomes of the plastid and the nucleus: as many as 90 % of all the plastid genes were transferred to the nucleus. READ MORE

7. 10. The chloroplast talks : Insights into the language of the chloroplast in Arabidopsis

   Author : Peter Kindgren; Åsa Strand; Barry Pogson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis thaliana; chloroplast; photosynthesis; retrograde communication; Mg-ProtoIX; oxidative stress; gene expression; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Physiological Botany; fysiologisk botanik;

   Abstract : The chloroplast originates from an endosymbiotic event 1.5 billion years ago, when a free living photosynthetic bacteria was engulfed by a eukaryotic host. The chloroplastic genome has through evolution lost many genes to the nuclear genome of the host. READ MORE
