coexpression of the enzyme, CCD8, and carotenoid-9',10'-cleaving dioxygenase CCD7, EC 1.13.11.71, in Escherichia coli results in production of 13-apo-beta-carotenone. The sequential cleavages of beta-carotene by CCD7 and CCD8 are likely the initial steps in the synthesis of a carotenoid-derived signaling molecule that is necessary for the regulation lateral branching |
