With incorporation of two atoms of oxygen
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
torulene:oxygen oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
torulene + O2 = 4'-apo-beta,psi-caroten-4'-al + 3-methylbut-2-enal [RN:
R09782 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
4'-apo-beta,psi-caroten-4'-al [CPD:
C19892 ];
3-methylbut-2-enal [CPD:
C07330 ]
Comment
It is assumed that 3-methylbut-2-enal is formed. The enzyme cannot cleave the saturated 3',4'-bond of gamma-carotene which implies that a 3',4'-double bond is neccessary for this reaction.
