Reduced activity of geranylgeranyl reductase leads to loss of chlorophyll and tocopherol and to partially geranylgeranylated chlorophyll in transgenic tobacco plants expressing antisense RNA for geranylgeranyl reductase.
Tanaka R., Oster U., Kruse E., Ruediger W., Grimm B.
The enzyme geranylgeranyl reductase (CHL P) catalyzes the reduction of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to phytyl diphosphate. We identified a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cDNA sequence encoding a 52-kD precursor protein homologous to the Arabidopsis and bacterial CHL P. The effects of deficient CHL P ac ... >> More
The enzyme geranylgeranyl reductase (CHL P) catalyzes the reduction of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to phytyl diphosphate. We identified a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cDNA sequence encoding a 52-kD precursor protein homologous to the Arabidopsis and bacterial CHL P. The effects of deficient CHL P activity on chlorophyll (Chl) and tocopherol contents were studied in transgenic plants expressing antisense CHL P RNA. Transformants with gradually reduced Chl P expression showed a delayed growth rate and a pale or variegated phenotype. Transformants grown in high (500 &mgr;mol m-2 s-1; HL) and low (70 &mgr;mol photon m-2 s-1; LL) light displayed a similar degree of reduced tocopherol content during leaf development, although growth of wild-type plants in HL conditions led to up to a 2-fold increase in tocopherol content. The total Chl content was more rapidly reduced during HL than LL conditions. Up to 58% of the Chl content was esterified with geranylgeraniol instead of phytol under LL conditions. Our results indicate that CHL P provides phytol for both tocopherol and Chl synthesis. The transformants are a valuable model with which to investigate the adaptation of plants with modified tocopherol levels against deleterious environmental conditions. << Less

Hydrogenation of geranylgeraniol : two pathways exist in spinach chloroplasts.
Soll J., Schultz G., Rudiger W., Benz J.

The reduction of geranylgeranylpyrophosphate to phytylpyrophosphate in spinach chloroplasts is described for the first time. The reductase is localized in the chloroplast envelope. By contrast, the reduction of the geranylgeranyl moiety in Chl synthesis is catalyzed in the thylakoids (via Chl synthetase). NADPH functions as electron donor in both reactions. Chl synthetase is firmly bound to the thylakoid membranes, and very little activity is found in the stroma fraction. Chl synthetase in chloroplasts can use the pyrophosphate ester of either phytol, geranylgeraniol, or farnesol, phytylpyrophosphate being the preferred substrate. Exogenous Chlide exhibits no influence on Chl synthesis by chloroplast subfractions. << Less
