9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase

inquiry

Cat No.

EXWM-0570

Description

Requires iron(II). Acts on 9-cis-violaxanthin and 9'-cis-neoxanthin but not on the all-trans isomers. In vitro, it will cleave 9-cis-zeaxanthin. Catalyses the first step of abscisic-acid biosynthesis from carotenoids in chloroplasts, in response to water stress. The other enzymes involved in the abscisic-acid biosynthesis pathway are EC 1.1.1.288 (xanthoxin dehydrogenase), EC 1.2.3.14 (abscisic-aldehyde oxidase) and EC 1.14.13.93 [(+)-abscisic acid 8'-hydroxylase].

Form

Liquid or lyophilized powder

Storage

Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.

Synonyms

nine-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase; NCED; AtNCED3; PvNCED1; VP14

Reaction

(1) a 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid + O2 = 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin + a 12'-apo-carotenal; (2) 9-cis-violaxanthin + O2 = 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin + (3S,5R,6S)-5,6-epoxy-3-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-12'-apo-β-caroten-12'-al; (3) 9'-cis-neoxanthin + O2 = 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin + (3S,5R,6R)-5,6-dihydroxy-6,7-didehydro-5,6-dihydro-12'-apo-β-caroten-12'-al
