The oxygenase CAO-1 of Neurospora crassa is a resveratrol cleavage enzyme.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Sept 2013

Díaz-Sánchez Violeta, Estrada Alejandro F, Limón M Carmen, Al-Babili Salim, Avalos Javier

Abstract excerpt

The genome of the ascomycete Neurospora crassa encodes CAO-1 and CAO-2, two members of the carotenoid cleavage oxygenase family that target double bonds in different substrates. Previous studies demonstrated the role of CAO-2 in cleaving the C40 carotene torulene, a key step in the synthesis of the C35 apocarotenoid pigment neurosporaxanthin. In this work, we investigated the activity of CAO-1, assuming that it...
