Description
The enzyme catalyses four successive dehydrogenations, resulting in production of 4,4'-diapolycopene. While the enzyme from Staphylococcus aureus was only shown to produce 4,4'-diaponeurosporene in vivo, it is able to catalyse the last reaction in vitro.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
dehydrosqualene desaturase (ambiguous); CrtN (ambiguous); 4,4'-diapophytoene:FAD oxidoreductase (ambiguous); 15-cis-4,4'-diapophytoene:FAD oxidoreductase; 4,4'-diapophytoene desaturase (ambiguous)
Reaction
15-cis-4,4'-diapophytoene + 4 FAD = all-trans-4,4'-diapolycopene + 4 FADH2 (overall reaction); (1a) 15-cis-4,4'-diapophytoene + FAD = all-trans-4,4'-diapophytofluene + FADH2; (1b) all-trans-4,4'-diapophytofluene + FAD = all-trans-4,4'-diapo-ζ-carotene + FADH2; (1c) all-trans-4,4'-diapo-ζ-carotene + FAD = all-trans-4,4'-diaponeurosporene + FADH2; (1d) all-trans-4,4'-diaponeurosporene + FAD = all-trans-4,4'-diapolycopene + FADH2
