概要 The first step of chlorophyll biosynthesis is catalyzed by a Mg-chelatase composed of the subunits CHLI, CHILD and CHLH. Mg-chelatase requires ATP hydrolysis that can be attributed to CHILL Arabidopsis has two CHLI isoforms, CHLI1 and CHLI2, that have similar expression profiles, but it has been suggested that CHLI2 has limited function in the Mg-chelatase complex. Recently, we showed that Arabidopsis CHLI I is an ATPase and a target of chloroplast thioredoxin. Here, we demonstrate that CHLI2 also has ATPase activity but with a lower V-max and higher K-m (ATP) than CHLI1. We confirmed the thioredoxin-dependent reduction of a disulfide bond in CHLI2 and thiol-modulation of its ATPase activity. We then examined the physiological contribution of CHLI2 using a chli2 T-DNA knockout line. Although visible phenotype of homozygous chli2 mutants was almost comparable to wild type, the mutant accumulated significantly less chlorophyll. Furthermore, cs/cs; chli2/chli2 double mutants were almost albino. There were three phenotypes among progenies segregated from the cs/cs;, CHLI2/chli2 parent: cs-like pale green. yellow, and almost albino were obtained in the approximate ratio of 1:2:0.7. PCR analysis confirmed that the chli2 mutation is semidominant on a homozygous cs background. These results reveal that although CHLI2 plays a limited role in chlorophyll biosynthesis, this subunit certainly contributes to the assembly of the Mg-chelatase complex.
