FunFam 18: Probable geranylgeranyl-diphosphate geranylgeranyl...

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Lycopene beta-cyclase. [EC: 5.5.1.19]
Carotenoid psi-end group = carotenoid beta-end group.
  • Lycopene has a psi-end group at both ends.
  • When acting on one end, this enzyme forms gamma-carotene.
  • When acting on both ends it forms beta-carotene.
  • It also acts on neurosporene to give beta-zeacarotene.
  • Formerly EC 5.5.1.n2.

15-cis-phytoene synthase. [EC: 2.5.1.32]
2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate = 15-cis-phytoene + 2 diphosphate.
  • The enzyme condenses two molecules of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to give prephytoene diphosphate, followed by rearrangement of the cyclopropylcarbinyl intermediate to 15-cis-phytoene.
