CLH;
Chlase
Class

Carboxylic-ester hydrolases
Sysname

Reaction(IUBMB)
chlorophyll + H2O = phytol + chlorophyllide
Reaction(KEGG)
(other) R05618 R09068
Substrate
chlorophyll [CPD:C01793];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
phytol [CPD:C01389];
chlorophyllide [CPD:C02139]
Comment
Chlorophyllase has been found in higher plants, diatoms, and in the green algae Chlorella [3]. This enzyme forms part of the chlorophyll degradation pathway and is thought to take part in de-greening processes such as fruit ripening, leaf senescence and flowering, as well as in the turnover and homeostasis of chlorophyll [4]. This enzyme acts preferentially on chlorophyll a but will also accept chlorophyll b and pheophytins as substrates [5]. Ethylene and methyl jasmonate, which are known to accelerate senescence in many species, can enhance the activity of the hormone-inducible form of this enzyme [5].
