Fig. 7.4 Biosynthetic routes 10, 11, 0 0 and 12 which are responsible for the formation of DV
Mg-Proto from DV Proto in LMV-DDV-LDMV plant species. These routes are highlighted in
green (Adapted from Fig. 6.4 of Chap. 6 , and from Kolossov and Rebeiz 2010 )
Metabolism of DV Mg-Proto in DMV-LDV-LDMV Plant Species
The specific role of DV Mg-Proto as a precursor of DV Pchlide a in DMV-LDV-
LDMV plant species was demonstrated by conversion of exogenous DV Mg-Proto
to MV Pchlide a in isolated etioplasts of barley, a DMV-LDV-LDMV. In barley
etioplasts the MV and DV proportions amounted to 16 % DV Pchlide a and 84 %
MV Pchlide a (Tripathy and Rebeiz 1986 ).
7.1.1.2 The Monovinyl (MV) Mg-Proto Pool
MV Mg-Proto has one vinyl group at position 2 and one ethyl group at position 4 of
the tetrapyrrole macrocycle (Fig. 7.5 ). The MV nature of the MV Mg-Proto
