Identification of the gene responsible for torulene cleavage in the Neurospora carotenoid pathway.

Molecular genetics and genomics : MGG - 1 Nov 2007

Abstract excerpt

Torulene, a C(40) carotene, is the precursor of the end product of the Neurospora carotenoid pathway, the C(35) xanthophyll neurosporaxanthin. Torulene is synthesized by the enzymes AL-2 and AL-1 from the precursor geranylgeranyl diphosphate and then cleaved by an unknown enzyme into the C(35) apocarotenoid. In general, carotenoid cleavage reactions are catalyzed by carotenoid oxygenases. Using protein data...
