Chloroplast biogenesis 84: solubilization and partial purification of membrane-bound [4-vinyl]chlorophyllide a reductase from etiolated barley leaves.
    Analytical biochemistry, 2001, Aug-15, Volume: 295, Issue:2

    [4-Vinyl] chlorophyllide a reductase (4VCR) is a key enzyme of the chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the conversion of divinyl chlorophyllide (Chlide) a to monovinyl Chlide a by reduction of the vinyl group at position 4 of the macrocycle to ethyl. 4VCR is a membrane-bound enzyme, embedded in etioplast and etiochloroplast membranes. A study of the regulation and properties of this enzyme is mandatory for a comprehensive understanding of the biosynthetic heterogeneity of Chl biosynthesis. Solubilization and partial purification of 4VCR are described for the first time. The enzyme was solubilized with 5 mM Chaps and was partially purified by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel and Cibacron Blue 3GA-1000 agarose. An overall 20-fold purification was achieved. The partially purified enzyme was stable for several months at -80 degrees C.
