BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
15-cis-phytoene:plastoquinone oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
15-cis-phytoene + 2 plastoquinone = 9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene + 2 plastoquinol (overall reaction) [RN:
R09652 ];
(1a) 15-cis-phytoene + plastoquinone = 15,9'-dicis-phytofluene + plastoquinol [RN:
R09653 ];
(1b) 15,9'-dicis-phytofluene + plastoquinone = 9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene + plastoquinol [RN:
R09654 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
15-cis-phytoene [CPD:
C05421 ];
plastoquinone [CPD:
C02061 ];
15,9'-dicis-phytofluene [CPD:
C19765 ]
Product
9,15,9'-tricis-zeta-carotene [CPD:
C19764 ];
plastoquinol [CPD:
C16693 ];
15,9'-dicis-phytofluene [CPD:
C19765 ]
Comment
This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis in plants and cyanobacteria. The enzyme from Synechococcus can also use NAD+ and NADP+ as electron acceptor under anaerobic conditions. The enzyme from Gentiana lutea shows no activity with NAD+ or NADP+ [1].
