The ylo-1 gene encodes an aldehyde dehydrogenase responsible for the last reaction in the Neurospora carotenoid pathway.

Abstract excerpt

The accumulation of the apocarotenoid neurosporaxanthin and its carotene precursors explains the orange pigmentation of the Neurospora surface cultures. Neurosporaxanthin biosynthesis requires the activity of the albino gene products (AL-1, AL-2 and AL-3), which yield the precursor torulene. Recently, we identified the carotenoid oxygenase CAO-2, which cleaves torulene to produce the aldehyde...
