Phytoene desaturase (3,4-didehydrolycopene-forming)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phytoene desaturase (3,4-didehydrolycopene-forming) (EC 1.3.99.30, 5-step phytoene desaturase, five-step phytoene desaturase, phytoene desaturase (ambiguous), Al-1) is an enzyme with systematic name 15-cis-phytoene:acceptor oxidoreductase (3,4-didehydrolycopene-forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 15-cis-phytoene + 5 acceptor all-trans-3,4-didehydrolycopene + 5 reduced acceptor (overall reaction)
- (1a) 15-cis-phytoene + acceptor all-trans-phytofluene + reduced acceptor
- (1b) all-trans-phytofluene + acceptor all-trans-zeta-carotene + reduced acceptor
- (1c) all-trans-zeta-carotene + acceptor all-trans-neurosporene + reduced acceptor
- (1d) all-trans-neurosporene + acceptor all-trans-lycopene + reduced acceptor
- (1e) all-trans-lycopene + acceptor all-trans-3,4-didehydrolycopene + reduced acceptor
