DESCRIPTION

Also known as HCAR_ARATH, HCAR, HMCR. Probable iron-sulfur flavoprotein that converts 7-hydroxymethyl chlorophyll a to chlorophyll a using ferredoxin as a reducing equivalent. Catalyzes the reduction of a hydroxymethyl group to a methyl group. Belongs to the chlorophyll catabolic enzymes (CCEs). Interacts with SGR1, the chlorophyll catabolic enzymes (CCEs) NYC1, NOL and RCCR, and the LHCII complex. Part of a SGR1-CCE-LHCII complex, which acts in chlorophyll breakdown.
