This is the coding sequence of ''crtY'' from ''Pantoea ananatis'' (formerly ''Erwinia uredovora'') (Accession number D90087). It encodes lycopene B-cyclase, part of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, which converts lycopene to B-carotene (Misawa, N., Nakagawa, N., Kobayashi, K., Yamano, S., Nakamura, K., and Harashima, K. 1990.

This is the coding sequence of crtY from Pantoea ananatis (formerly Erwinia uredovora) (Accession number D90087). It encodes lycopene B-cyclase, part of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, which converts lycopene to B-carotene (Misawa, N., Nakagawa, N., Kobayashi, K., Yamano, S., Nakamura, K., and Harashima, K. 1990.

Characterisation

Since the CrtI (phytoene desaturase) is a part of the biosynthesis pathway of carotenoids (fig. 1), it is often co-expressed with the other enzymes of the pathway: such as CrtB or CrtY. Rabeharindranto et al. analyzed the expression of single domain CrtI, CrtY, and CrtB (fig.2). CrtB is unambiguously detected as an intense bands in all strains B, B/I or Y/B/I. On the other hand, CrtI can be observed at the expected size (67kDa) only when coexpressed with CrtY domain (strain Y/B/I). The explanation could be that CrtI protein needs to be co-expressed together with CrtY to have a normal production/stability. A faint band with 50kDa migration pattern could be observed in B/I strain which could further support the idea of low production or stability of CrtI in absence of CrtY.

Fig. 1: From Rabeharindranto et al. 2019. Presumed biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of β-carotene in X. dendrorhous (Verdoes et al., 1999). The bifunctional lycopene cyclase/phytoene synthase (CrtYB) enzyme is depicted in orange, the phytoene desaturase enzyme (CrtI) is depicted in red. Orange or red boxes represent the localization of the modifications introduced by the CrtYB or CrtI enzymes respectively.

The second point concerns the presence of a natural fusion of CrtY (lycopene cyclase) and CrtB(phytoene synthase). Although, in eucaryotes, CrtB enzyme is predicted to be cytosolic and CrtY enzyme is predicted to be transmembrane [2], surprisingly, there is a natural fusion between CrtY and CrtB which gives CrtYB enzyme[3]. There is a strong opinion on the importance of this natural fusion on the activity of phytoene synthase [4,5]. Rabeharindranto et al. confirmed the impact of CrtY and CrtB splitting on the phytoene production as it has significantly decreased (40 times) in the B strain compared to the Y(yb)B strain (fig. 3).

Fig. 3: From Rabeharindranto et al. 2019. Quantification of carotenoids from the strains bearing single domains enzymes. Major carotenoids were quantified from strains expressing single domain enzymes (B, B/I, B/I/Y) and are compared to data obtained for strain Y(yb)B (left side) or Y(yb)B/I (right side). Metabolites are colored according to the legend in the right. The metabolic pathway from phytoene to carotene is depicted at the top with the same color code as previously, white squares correspond to intermediate metabolites that were not detected. Values represent the average ± S.D. of the quantification of each metabolite with three independent cultures. For other details, please refer to [1]
