PCC 6803. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.68Å Ligands: C8E, GOL Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function ACOX_SYNY3 Cleaves a number of carotenals and carotenols in the all-trans configuration at the 15-15' double bond producing retinal or retinol, respectively. Also shows activity toward lycopenals and the corresponding alcohols. Does not cleave beta-carotene or lycopene. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Enzymes that produce retinal and related apocarotenoids constitute a sequence- and thus structure-related family, a member of which was analyzed by x-ray diffraction. This member is an oxygenase and contains an Fe2+-4-His arrangement at the axis of a seven-bladed beta-propeller chain fold covered by a dome formed by six large loops. The Fe2+ is accessible through a long nonpolar tunnel that holds a carotenoid derivative in one of the crystals. On binding, three consecutive double bonds of this carotenoid changed from a straight all-trans to a cranked cis-trans-cis conformation. The remaining trans bond is located at the dioxygen-ligated Fe2+ and cleaved by oxygen.
