show Brenda entryEC number
4.2.1.131
Accepted name
carotenoid 1,2-hydratase
Reaction
(1) 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene = lycopene + H2O;;(2) 1,1′-dihydroxy-1,1′,2,2′-tetrahydrolycopene = 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene + H2O
Other name(s)
CrtC
Systematic name
lycopene hydro-lyase (1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene-forming)
Comment
In Rubrivivax gelatinosus [1] and Thiocapsa roseopersicina [2] both products are formed, whereas Rhodobacter capsulatus [1] only gives 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene. Also acts on neurosporene giving 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydroneurosporene with both organism but 1,1′-dihydroxy-1,1′,2,2′-tetrahydroneurosporene only with Rubrivivax gelatinosus.
