Despite the difficulties in extracting and identifying colorless catabolic products that are extremely labile and detectable only in trace amounts, several of the mysteries of chlorophyll catabolism have been revealed and about 14 non-fluorescent chlorophyll catabolytes (NCCs) from higher plants, mainly in senescent leaves, have been detected and analyzed structurally. Among them, NCCs from rapeseed (Bms-sica napus) from Liquidambar styraciflua, from Cercidiphyllum japonicum, five NCCs from degreened leaves of spinach Spinacia oleracea) and, more recently, two NCCs from tobacco Nicotiana rusticd) and five NCCs from Arabidopsis thaliana have been identified.

Figure 28-13 (A) Stereoscopic ribbon drawing of the phyloge-netically conserved 180-residue C-terminal portion of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) from Arabidopsis thaliana. The sequence consists of two direct repeats, giving the protein an approximate twofold symmetry. From Nikolov et al.337 (B) Structure of the corresponding C-terminal core (residues 155-335) of the human TATA-binding protein (TBP) bound to the TATA sequence of a promoter in adenovirus DNA. From Nikolov et al.327 (C) Structure of human transcription factor IIB bound to a TBP from Arabidopsis thaliana, which, in turn, is bound to an adenovirus TATA sequence. Hypothetical B DNA extensions have been modeled at both ends of the DNA segment. The +1 at the left end is the transcription start site and the —43 upstream end is to the right.

Nitrilase was initially discovered in plants as an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) [74,75], Recently, four genes of nitrilases (belonging to arylacetonitrilase) involved in the IAA biosynthesis have been cloned and characterized from Arabidopsis thaliana [76-78], After the discovery of the plant nitrilase in 1964, various nitrilases were purified and characterized [41], Nitrilases are roughly classified into three major categories according to substrate specificity (i) aromatic nitrilase, which acts on aromatic or heterocyclic nitriles (ii) aliphatic nitrilase, which acts on aliphatic nitriles (iii) arylacetonitrilase, which acts on arylacetonitriles. These three types...
