Carotenoid biosynthesis, Carotenoid biosynthesis

spheroidene,reduced-ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (spheroiden-2-one-forming)

The enzyme is involved in spheroidenone biosynthesis and in 2,2'-dioxospirilloxanthin biosynthesis. The enzyme from Rhodobacter sphaeroides contains heme at its active site [1].

physiological function

-

the enzyme is involved in spheroidene biosynthesis pathway and spirilloxanthin biosynthesis pathway. Methylated carotenoids, such as spheroidene and spirilloxanthin, function as accessory pigments in the light-harvesting and reaction-center complexes of purple bacteria

expression in Escherichia coli

expression in Escherichia coli. Coexpression of CrtA with acyclic C40 carotenoid pathways can introduce a keto group at the C(2,2') position of unnatural substrates that do not exhibit a C(3,4) double bond. The complete conversion of tetradehydrolycopene to phillipsiaxanthin observed suggests it is a favorable substrate for CrtA activity when compared to the incomplete conversion of lycopene to lycopene-2-one in the presence of CrtA
