VTE3, ALBINO OR PALE GREEN MUTANT 1, APG1, E37, IEP37, INNER ENVELOPE PROTEIN 37, VITAMIN E DEFECTIVE 3
Background:
VTE3 is a MPBQ/MSBQ methyltransferase located in the chloroplast inner envelope membrane. It is involved in a key methylation step in both tocopherols (vitamin E) and plastoquinone synthesis.
Malate dehydrogenase (MDH) catalyzes a reversible NAD(+)-dependent-dehydrogenase reaction involved in central metabolism and redox homeostasis between organelle compartments.
HOZ is a Dimeric β-barrel protein that is structurally related to the putative non-canonical heme oxygenase (HO) and is located in chloroplasts. May function additionally in the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway.
SKL2 does not possess shikimate kinase activity in vitro probably because it lacks the conserved active sites and substrate binding sites of the shikimate kinase family.
