Beta-carotene 3-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.129, beta-carotene 3,3'-monooxygenase, CrtZ) is an enzyme with systematic name beta-carotene,NADH:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase . [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

beta-carotene + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 O2 zeaxanthin + 2 NAD+ + 2 H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) beta-carotene + NADH + H+ + O2 beta-cryptoxanthin + NAD+ + H2O
(1b) beta-cryptoxanthin + NADH + H+ + O2 zeaxanthin + NAD+ + H2O

Beta-carotene 3-hydroxylase requires ferredoxin and Fe(II).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Carotenoid</span> Class of chemical compounds; yellow, orange or red plant pigments

Carotenoids are yellow, orange, and red organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria, archaea, and fungi. Carotenoids give the characteristic color to pumpkins, carrots, parsnips, corn, tomatoes, canaries, flamingos, salmon, lobster, shrimp, and daffodils. Over 1,100 identified carotenoids can be further categorized into two classes – xanthophylls and carotenes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Canthaxanthin</span> Chemical compound

Canthaxanthin is a keto-carotenoid pigment widely distributed in nature. Carotenoids belong to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenoids. The chemical formula of canthaxanthin is C40H52O2. It was first isolated in edible mushrooms. It has also been found in green algae, bacteria, crustaceans, and bioaccumulates in fish such as carp, golden grey mullet, seabream and trush wrasse.

CRT is the gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of carotenoids. Those genes are found in eubacteria, in algae and are cryptic in Streptomyces griseus.
