ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.150

Accepted Name
lycopene elongase/hydratase (dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin-forming)
Reaction catalysed
  • all-trans-lycopene + dimethylallyl diphosphate + H2O = dihydroisopentenyldehydrorhodopin + diphosphate
  • dimethylallyl diphosphate + H2O + isopentenyldehydrorhodopin = dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Dietzia sp. CQ4 and the halophilic archaea Halobacterium salinarum and Haloarcula japonica, is bifunctional.
  • It catalyzes the elongation of the C40 carotenoid all-trans-lycopene by attaching an isoprene unit at C-2 as well as the hydroxylation of the previous end of the molecule.
  • The enzyme acts at both ends of the substrate, and combined with the action of EC 1.3.99.37, it forms the C50 carotenoid dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin. cf. EC 2.5.1.149.
