TAIR Curator Summary | Chlorophyllase is the first enzyme involved in chlorophyll degradation. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the ester bond to yield chlorophyllide and phytol. AtCLH1 lacks a typical signal sequence for the chloroplast. Its expression is induced rapidly by methyljasmonate, a known promoter of senescence and chlorophyll degradation. |
