EC number
1.14.15.24
Accepted name
β-carotene 3-hydroxylase
Reaction
β-carotene + 4 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H+ + 2 O2 = zeaxanthin + 4 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H2O (overall reaction);;(1a) β-carotene + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H+ + O2 = β-cryptoxanthin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H2O;;(1b) β-cryptoxanthin + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H+ + O2 = zeaxanthin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + H2O
Other name(s)
β-carotene 3,3′-monooxygenase, CrtZ
Systematic name
β-carotene,reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase
Comment
Requires ferredoxin and Fe(II). Also acts on other carotenoids with a β-end group. In some species canthaxanthin is the preferred substrate.
