Genomewide analysis of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases in unicellular and filamentous cyanobacteria. [PDF]

Comp Funct Genomics, 2012
Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage steps from carotenoids to various carotenoid cleavage products. Some ccd genes have been identified and encoded enzymes functionally characterized in many

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

J Biol Chem, 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.

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high-value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. [PDF]

New Phytol
Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources.

The Sensory Significance of Apocarotenoids in Wine: Importance of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase 1 (CCD1) in the Production of β-Ionone

Molecules, 2020
Olfactory cues are key drivers of our multisensory experiences of food and drink. For example, our perception and enjoyment of the flavour and taste of a wine is primarily steered by its aroma.

Identification, Cloning, and Functional Characterization of Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (CCD) from Olea europaea and Ipomoea nil [PDF]

Biology
The aromatic C13 apocarotenoid β-ionone is a high-value natural-flavor and -fragrance compound derived from the oxidative cleavage of carotenoids. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) play a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of volatile apocarotenoids,

Carotenoid cleavage enzymes evolved convergently to generate the visual chromophore [PDF]

Nature Chemical Biology
The retinal light response in animals originates from the photoisomerization of an opsin-coupled 11-cis-retinaldehyde chromophore. This visual chromophore is enzymatically produced through the action of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases.
