molecular function |
| GO:0016831 | | carboxy-lyase activity | | Catalysis of the nonhydrolytic addition or removal of a carboxyl group to or from a compound. |
| GO:0016829 | | lyase activity | | Catalysis of the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-N and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation, or conversely adding a group to a double bond. They differ from other enzymes in that two substrates are involved in one reaction direction, but only one in the other direction. When acting on the single substrate, a molecule is eliminated and this generates either a new double bond or a new ring. |
| GO:0004853 | | uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: uroporphyrinogen-III = coproporphyrinogen + 4 CO2. |
biological process |
| GO:0015995 | | chlorophyll biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of chlorophyll, any compound of magnesium complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring and which functions as a photosynthetic pigment, from less complex precursors. |
| GO:0006779 | | porphyrin-containing compound biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of any member of a large group of derivatives or analogs of porphyrin. Porphyrin consists of a ring of four pyrrole nuclei linked each to the next at their alpha positions through a methine group. |
| GO:0006782 | | protoporphyrinogen IX biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of protoporphyrinogen IX. |
cellular component |
| GO:0009507 | | chloroplast | | A chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma. |
| GO:0009536 | | plastid | | Any member of a family of organelles found in the cytoplasm of plants and some protists, which are membrane-bounded and contain DNA. Plant plastids develop from a common type, the proplastid. |
