Abstract: | The first step in chlorophyll a degradation is the extraction of the central Mg. This reaction is catalyzed by Mg-dechelatase encoded by Stay-Green (SGR) in land plants. SGR extracts Mg from chlorophyll a but not from chlorophyll b, and chlorophyll b must be converted to chlorophyll a before degradation. The first reaction of the chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a conversion is catalyzed by chlorophyll b reductase. Non-Yellow Coloring 1 (NYC1) and NYC1 like (NOL) are isozymes of chlorophyll b reductase. When SGR was transiently overexpressed in Arabidopsis, both chlorophyll a and b were degraded, suggesting that the chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a conversion is activated by SGR overexpression. To examine the involvement of chlorophyll b reductases in SGR-induced chlorophyll b degradation, SGR was transiently overexpressed in nyc1, nol, and nyc1 nol double mutants by dexamethasone treatment. It was found that in the wild type and nol mutant, chlorophyll a and b were degraded and all the chlorophyll-binding proteins decreased. Meanwhile, in nyc1 and nyc1 nol mutants, chlorophyll b degradation was suppressed and the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II remained. The mRNA and protein levels of NYC1 increased after SGR overexpression in wild type plants. These results suggest that Mg-dechelation of chlorophyll a by SGR activates chlorophyll b degradation by inducing the expression of NYC1. This is an effective regulation of a metabolic pathway. |
