Description
The enzyme, isolated from the archaeon Haloarcula japonica, is involved in the biosynthesis of the C50 carotenoid bacterioruberin. In this pathway it catalyses the introduction of hydroxyl groups to C3'' and C3''' of bisanhydrobacterioruberin to generate bacterioruberin.
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
CruF; C50 carotenoid 2'',3''-hydratase
Reaction
bacterioruberin = bisanhydrobacterioruberin + 2 H2O (overall reaction); (1a) bacterioruberin = monoanhydrobacterioruberin + H2O; (1b) monoanhydrobacterioruberin = bisanhydrobacterioruberin + H2O
