5.5.1.19 | malfunction | transgenic plants with higher or reduced levels of DcLcyb1 have incremented or reduced levels of chlorophyll, total carotenoids and beta-carotene in leaves and in the storage roots, respectively. In addition, changes in the expression of DcLcyb1 are accompanied by a modulation in the expression of key endogenous carotenogenic genes | Daucus carota |
5.5.1.19 | additional information | DcLCYB1 has conserved motifs related to lycopene beta-cyclases such as a cyclase motif I and II, a LCY specific motif, a conserved region beta-LCY, a di-nucleotide binding site, a charged region and the beta-LCY motif, beta-LCY CAD region, domains described as essential for lycopene beta-cyclase activity | Daucus carota |
5.5.1.19 | physiological function | lycopene beta-cyclase is a key enzyme involved directly in the synthesis of alpha-carotene and beta-carotene through the cyclization of lycopene. The enzyme does not possess an organ specific function and modulates carotenoid gene expression and accumulation in carrot leaves and storage roots. DcLcyb1 participates in the regulation of endogenous DcPsy1, DcPsy2 and DcLcyb2 carotenogenic genes | Daucus carota |
