EC 1.3.99.27     
Accepted name: 1-hydroxycarotenoid 3,4-desaturase
Reaction: 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene + acceptor = 1-hydroxy-3,4-didehydro-1,2-dihydrolycopene + reduced acceptor
Other name(s): CrtD; hydroxyneurosporene desaturase; carotenoid 3,4-dehydrogenase; 1-hydroxy-carotenoid 3,4-dehydrogenase
Systematic name: 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene:acceptor oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzymes from Rubrivivax gelatinosus and Rhodobacter sphaeroides prefer the acyclic carotenoids (e.g. 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydroneurosporene, 1-hydroxy-1,2-dihydrolycopene) as substrates. The conversion rate for the 3,4-desaturation of the monocyclic 1′-hydroxy-1′,2′-dihydro-γ-carotene is lower [2,3]. The enzyme from the marine bacterium strain P99-3 shows high activity with the monocyclic carotenoid 1′-hydroxy-1′,2′-dihydro-γ-carotene [1]. The enzyme from Rhodobacter sphaeroides utilizes molecular oxygen as the electron acceptor in vitro [3]. However, oxygen is unlikely to be the natural electron acceptor under anaerobic conditions.
