TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a chlorophyllase, the first enzyme in chlorophyll degradation. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of the ester bond to chlorophyllide and phytol. AtCLH2 has a typical signal sequence for the chloroplast. Gene expression does not respond to methyljasmonate, a known promoter of senescence and chlorophyll degradation. |
