1.13.11.69 carlactone synthaseIUBMB Comments
Requires Fe2+. The enzyme participates in a pathway leading to biosynthesis of strigolactones, plant hormones involved in promotion of symbiotic associations known as arbuscular mycorrhiza. Also catalyses EC 1.13.11.70, all-trans-10'-apo-beta-carotenal 13,14-cleaving dioxygenase, but 10-fold slower.

malfunction
metabolism
physiological function
malfunction
-
transgenic SlCCD8 knockout lines display an increased shoot branching, reduced plant height, increased number of nodes and excessive adventitious root development. Transgenic lines show a reproductive phenotypes such as smaller flowers, fruits, as well as fewer and smaller seeds per fruit. Infestation by Phelipanche ramosa is reduced by 90% in lines with a relatively mild reduction in strigolactone biosynthesis and secretion while arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, apical dominance and fruit yield are only mildly affected
malfunction
the biochemical basis of the shoot branching phenotype is due to inhibition of enzyme CCD8
malfunction
-
an enzyme mutant has morphological changes that includes dwarfing, excessive shoot branching and adventitious root formation. In addition, strigolactone-deficient mutants show a significant reduction in parasite (Phelipanche aegyptiaca) infestation compared to non-mutated tomato plants. In the mutated lines, orobanchol content is significantly reduced but total carotenoids level and expression of genes related to carotenoid biosynthesis are increased, as compared to control plants
malfunction
-
enzymatic mutants show excess branching, which is suppressed by exogenously applied strigolactones. Phelipanche aegyptiaca infection is lower in the enzyme mutants than in wild type
malfunction
-
enzyme mutants have increased shoot branching, reduced plant height, increased number of leaves and nodes, and reduced total plant biomass compared to wild type plants, however, the root-to-shoot ratio is unchanged. Enzyme mutations affect root morphology and affect plant senescence
malfunction
-
enzyme silencing favors phosphorus retention in the root and reduces phosphorus and biomass accumulation in the shoot under low phosphate
malfunction
enzyme-knockout lines show enhanced caulonema growth and enhanced susceptibility to fungal infection
metabolism
biosynthesis of strigolactones requires the action of two CCD enzymes, CCD7 (EC 1.13.11.68) and CCD8, which act sequentially on 9-cis-beta-carotene, strigolactone biosynthesis pathway from all-trans-beta-carotene to ent-2'-epi-5-deoxystrigol, overview
physiological function
-
coexpression of the enzyme, CCD8, and carotenoid-9',10'-cleaving dioxygenase CCD7, EC 1.13.11.71, in Escherichia coli results in production of 13-apo-beta-carotenone. The sequential cleavages of beta-carotene by CCD7 and CCD8 are likely the initial steps in the synthesis of a carotenoid-derived signaling molecule that is necessary for the regulation lateral branching
physiological function
enzyme is involved in regulation of low phosphate stress responses. Mutants show lower anthocyanin content and longer primary root length. Mutant plants also display altered root architecture such as increased root-to-shoot ratio, lower lateral root number and root hair density compared with wild-type plants under low phosphate stress. Higher total phosphate contents are detected in shoots and roots of mutant plants than those of wild-type plants when subjected to low phosphate stress, which is associated, at least in part, with increase in expression of WRKY75 as well as AtPT1 and AtPT2 genes encoding high-affinity phosphate transporters
physiological function
gene disruption mutant reveals a modest increase in branching that contrasts with prominent pleiotropic changes that include marked reduction in stem diameter, reduced elongation of internodes, independent of carbon supply, and a pronounced delay in development of the centrally important, nodal system of adventitious roots
