ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.99.44
Accepted Name |
Diapolycopene oxygenase.
|
Reaction catalysed |
4,4'-diapolycopene + 4 AH(2) + 4 O(2) <=> 4,4'-diapolycopenedial + 4 A + 6 H(2)O |
Comment(s) |
- Little activity with neurosporene or lycopene.
- Involved in the biosynthesis of C(30) carotenoids such as
staphyloxanthin.
- The enzyme oxidizes each methyl group to the hydroxymethyl and then a
dihydroxymethyl group, followed by the spontaneous loss of water to
give an aldehyde group.
