Protein: Beta-apo-4'-carotenal oxygenase (Q1K615)
Organism: Neurospora crassa (strain ATCC 24698 / 74-OR23-1A / CBS 708.71 / DSM 1257 /
Function: Beta-apo-4'-carotenal oxygenase involved in the last step of synthesis of neurosporaxanthin, a carboxylic apocarotenoid acting as an essential protective pigment and leading to orange pigmentation. Converts the aldehyde beta-apo-4'-carotenal into neurosporaxanthin. Neurosporaxanthin is synthesized from geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) through several enzymatic activities. Phytoene synthase activity performed by the bifunctional enzyme al-2 first produces phytoene from geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP). The phytoene dehydrogenase al-1 then introduces 5 desaturations to lead to 3,4-didehydrolycopene via the intermediates phytofluene, zeta-carotene, neurosporene and lycopene. Al-2 cyclase activity then converts 3,4-didehydrolycopene into torulene. Al-2 can also convet lycopene into gamma-carotene which in turn is converted to beta- carotene by an additional al-2 cyclization reaction. Torulene is the substrate of the dioxidase cao-2 that breaks the molecule, removing five carbon atoms to yield beta-apo-4'-carotenal, whereas the aldehyde dehydrogenase ylo-1 mediates the last step by converting beta-apo-4'- carotenal into neurosporaxanthin (Probable)
