Involvement of Tetrapyrroles in Cellular Regulation

  • Chapter
Chlorophylls and Bacteriochlorophylls

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 25))

Abstract

In eukaryotic cells, tetrapyrrole intermediates and end-products play a crucial role as intra-organellar regulators within the chloroplast or mitochondrion, which are sites of heme and chlorophyll biosynthesis, by exerting a feedback control on the enzyme activities of their own biosynthetic pathway. It is proposed that some tetrapyrrole metabolites also act as inter-organellar signals communicating with the nucleus to coordinate nuclear and organellar activities by regulating nuclear gene expression in response to the physiological and developmental state of the mitochondrion or plastid.
