Mutants of the carotene cyclase domain of al-2 from Neurospora crassa.

Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG - 1 Feb 2002

Arrach N, Schmidhauser T J, Avalos J

Abstract excerpt

Phytoene synthase and carotene cyclase, two key enzymes in carotenoid biosynthesis, are encoded by two separate genes in bacteria and plants, but by a single bifunctional gene in fungi. The cyclase function has been demonstrated for the products of the genes crtYB from the basidiomycete Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, and for carRA and carRP from the zygomycetes Phycomyces blakesleeanus and Mucor circinelloides,...
