Glossary: bisanhydrobacterioruberin = (2S,2S′)-2,2′-bis(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-3,4-didehydro-1,1′,2,2′-tetrahydro-ψ,ψ-carotene-1,1′-diol
dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin = (2S,2S′)-2,2′-bis(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-3,3′,4,4′-tetradehydro-1,1′,2,2′-tetrahydro-ψ,ψ-carotene-1,1′-diol
dihydroisopentenyldehydrorhodopin = (2S)-2-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-3,4-didehydro-1,2-dihydro-ψ,ψ-caroten-1-ol
isopentenyldehydrorhodopin = (2S)-2-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-1,2-dihydro-ψ,ψ-caroten-1-ol
Other name(s): crtD (gene name)
Systematic name: dihydroisopentenyldehydrorhodopin:acceptor 3,4-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, isolated from the archaeon Haloarcula japonica, is involved in the biosynthesis of the C50 carotenoid bacterioruberin. In this pathway it catalyses the desaturation of the C-3,4 double bond in dihydroisopentenyldehydrorhodopin and the desaturation of the C-3′,4′ double bond in dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin.

EC 2.5.1.149     
Accepted name: lycopene elongase/hydratase (flavuxanthin-forming)
Reaction: (1) prenyl diphosphate + all-trans-lycopene + acceptor + H2O = nonaflavuxanthin + reduced electron acceptor + diphosphate
(2) prenyl diphosphate + nonaflavuxanthin + acceptor + H2O = flavuxanthin + reduced electron acceptor + diphosphate

Glossary: flavuxanthin = 2,2′-bis-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl)-1,16,1′,16′-tetradehydro-1,2,1′,2′-tetrahydro-ψ,ψ-carotene = (2E,8E,10E,12E,14E,16E,18E,20E,22E,24E,26E,28E,34E)-5,32-diisopropenyl-2,8,12,16,21,25,29,35-octamethylhexatriaconta-2,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,34-tridecaene-1,36-diol
Other name(s): crtEb (gene name); dimethylallyl-diphosphate:all-trans-lycopene dimethylallyltransferase (hydrating, flavuxanthin-forming)
Systematic name: prenyl-diphosphate:all-trans-lycopene prenyltransferase (hydrating, flavuxanthin-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum, is bifunctional. It catalyses the elongation of the C40 carotenoid all-trans-lycopene by attaching an isoprene unit at C-2, as well as the hydroxylation of the new isoprene unit. The enzyme acts at both ends of the substrate, forming the C50 carotenoid flavuxanthin via the C45 intermediate nonaflavuxanthin. cf. EC 2.5.1.150, lycopene elongase/hydratase (dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin-forming).

Other name(s): lbtA (gene name); lyeJ (gene name); dimethylallyl-diphosphate:all-trans-lycopene dimethylallyltransferase (hydrating, dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin-forming)
Systematic name: prenyl-diphosphate:all-trans-lycopene prenyltransferase (hydrating, dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Dietzia sp. CQ4 and the halophilic archaea Halobacterium salinarum and Haloarcula japonica, is bifunctional. It catalyses the elongation of the C40 carotenoid all-trans-lycopene by attaching an isoprene unit at C-2 as well as the hydroxylation of the previous end of the molecule. The enzyme acts at both ends of the substrate, and combined with the action of EC 1.3.99.37, 1-hydroxy-2-isopentenylcarotenoid 3,4-desaturase, it forms the C50 carotenoid dihydrobisanhydrobacterioruberin. cf. EC 2.5.1.149, lycopene elongase/hydratase (flavuxanthin-forming).
