Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of carotenoid cleavage oxygenase genes in Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Carotenoid cleavage oxygenases (CCOs) include the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) and 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid (NCED), which can catalize carotenoid to form various apocarotenoids and their derivatives, has been found that play important ...

Identification of Plastoglobules as a Site of Carotenoid Cleavage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Carotenoids play an essential role in light harvesting and protection from excess light. During chloroplast senescence carotenoids are released from their binding proteins and are eventually metabolized.

Characteristics of NtCCD1-3 from tobacco, and protein engineering of the CCD1 to enhance β-ionone production in yeast

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Biosynthesis of β-ionone by microbial cell factories has become a promising way to obtain natural β-ionone. The catalytic activity of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 (CCD1) in cleavage of β-carotene to β-ionone severely limits its biosynthesis. In this

β-Ionone: Its Occurrence and Biological Function and Metabolic Engineering

Plants, 2021
β-Ionone is a natural plant volatile compound, and it is the 9,10 and 9′,10′ cleavage product of β-carotene by the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. β-Ionone is widely distributed in flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

Selective inhibition of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases: phenotypic effects on shoot branching. [PDF]

The Journal of biological chemistry, 2009
Members of the carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase family catalyze the oxidative cleavage of carotenoids at various chain positions, leading to the formation of a wide range of apocarotenoid signaling molecules. To explore the functions of this diverse enzyme family, we have used a chemical genetic approach to design selective inhibitors for different ...

Identification of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenases from Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 with Different Cleavage Activities [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006
Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) are a class of enzymes that oxidatively cleave carotenoids into apocarotenoids. Dioxygenases have been identified in plants and animals and produce a wide variety of cleavage products. Despite what is known about apocarotenoids in higher organisms, very little is known about apocarotenoids and CCDs in ...

Cloning and Prokaryotic Expression of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenases from Mulberry (Morus notabilis)

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2022
Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) is the key enzyme for carotenoid cleavage, and the products of carotenoid cleavage regulate the ability of plants to stress. In this paper, six CCD genes were obtained from Morus notabilis (Mn) by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and we classified them into three subgroups based on gene ...

Genes involved in the synthesis and signaling pathway of strigolactone, a shoot branching inhibitor

Biologia Plantarum, 2012
Branching is an important step in higher plant development, which not only determines the configuration of the plant directly, but also affects its adaptability to the environment. The interactions between hormones, genes, environmental and other factors
