Description : (at4g25080 : 250.0) Encodes a protein with methyltransferase activity responsible for the methylation of magnesium protoporphyrin IX. Mutants defective in this gene are affected in chlorophyll biosynthesis and show a reduction in the accumulation of a number of major thylakoid-associated proteins including components of PSI (LHCI), PSII (LHCII, D1, CP43) and the cytochrome b6f complex (Cytf). By contrast, no significant changes were detected for the proteins of the stroma and the chloroplast envelope.; magnesium-protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase (CHLM); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Magnesium-protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase, C-terminal (InterPro:IPR010940), Magnesium protoporphyrin O-methyltransferase (InterPro:IPR010251). & (reliability: 500.0) & (original description: no original description)
Condition specificity: 3 h after light (SPM: 0.39, entropy: 3.08, tau: 0.31)
