the gene cluster, including genes c0507, c0506, and c0505, is involved in the synthesis of bacterioruberin. Genes c0507, c0506, and c0505 encode a carotenoid 3,4-desaturase (CrtD), a bifunctional lycopene elongase and 1,2-hydratase (LyeJ), and a C50 carotenoid 2'',3''-hydratase (CruF), respectively. The three carotenoid biosynthetic enzymes catalyze the reactions that convert lycopene to bacterioruberin in Haloarcula japonica. Biosynthetic pathway of C50 carotenoids, overview |
