Cloning and Characterization of the ζ-Carotene Desaturase Gene from Chlorella protothecoides CS-41
To elucidate the lutein biosynthesis pathway in the lutein-producing alga, Chlorella protothecoides CS-41, the ζ-carotene desaturase gene (zds) was isolated from Chlorella protothecoides using the approach of rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The full-length cDNA sequence was 2031 bp and contained 1755 bp putative open reading frame which encodes a 584 amino acid deduced polypeptide whose compu...
متن کاملPhytoene desaturase from Arabidopsis.
Carotenoids are isoprenyl pigments necessary for protection of the photosynthetic apparatus in a11 green plants. One of the intermediate steps in carotenoid biosynthesis is the conversion of phytoene to {-carotene via two dehydrogenation reactions catalyzed by the enzyme PDS. We have previously cloned cDNAs for this enzyme from soybean (Glycine max; Bartley et al., 1991) and tomato (Lycopersico...
متن کاملQTL and candidate genes phytoene synthase and zeta-carotene desaturase associated with the accumulation of carotenoids in maize.
Carotenoids are a class of fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin compounds present in maize ( Zea mays L.) that may provide health benefits to animals or humans. Four carotenoid compounds are predominant in maize grain: beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and lutein. Although beta-carotene has the highest pro-vitamin A activity, it is present in a relatively low concentration in maize kern...
متن کاملFunctional complementation in Escherichia coli of different phytoene desaturase genes and analysis of accumulated carotenes.
Three different phytoene desaturase genes, from Rhodobacter capsulatus, Erwinia uredovora, and Synechococcus PCC 7942, have been functionally complemented with a gene construct from E. uredovora which encodes all enzymes responsible for formation of 15-cis phytoene in Escherichia coli. As indicated by the contrasting reaction products detected in the pigmented E. coli cells after co-transformat...
متن کاملBleaching herbicide flurtamone interferes with phytoene desaturase.
The mode of action of the furanone herbicide flurtamone and derivatives was investigated with cress seedlings and with the unicellular cyanobacterium Anacystis. Either in the light or in the dark these compounds inhibited the formation of alpha- and beta-carotene and all of the xanthophylls in the seedlings. Instead, phytoene, a precursor of colored carotenoids, was accumulated. In illuminated ...
