Annotation transfered from Closely Related SWISS-PROT Entries

Annotation	Function Description	Confidence Level	Reference Protein
Heme oxygenase 1, chloroplastic	Key enzyme in the synthesis of the chromophore of the phytochrome family of plant photoreceptors. Catalyzes the opening of the heme ring to form the open-chain tetrapyrrole biliverdin IX with the release of iron and carbon monoxide (CO). Produces specifically the biliverdin IX-alpha isomer. Can form complex with heme, is ferredoxin-dependent and its activity is increased in the presence of ascorbate. Plays a role in salt acclimation signaling. May affect the plastid-to-nucleus signaling pathway by perturbing tetrapyrrole synthesis. The plastid-to-nucleus signal plays an important role in the coordinated expression of both nuclear- and chloroplast-localized genes that encode photosynthesis-related proteins.	confident	O48782
Heme oxygenase 1, chloroplastic	Catalyzes the opening of the heme ring to form the open-chain tetrapyrrole biliverdin IX with the release of iron and carbon monoxide (CO). Is a key enzyme in the synthesis of the chromophore of the phytochrome family of plant photoreceptors. Essential for photoperiod response and repression of flowering through cytochromes that inhibit flowering by affecting both HD1 and EHD1 flowering pathways.	probable	Q69XJ4
Heme oxygenase 3, chloroplastic	Catalyzes the opening of the heme ring to form the open-chain tetrapyrrole biliverdin IX with the release of iron and carbon monoxide (CO). Produces specifically the biliverdin IX-alpha isomer. Plays a minor role in phytochrome assembly and photomorphogenesis.	probable	Q9C9L4
