L64P/K90M/E143K | site-directed mutagenesis, mutation pds1-6, with in-frame deletion of PSY residues 7-14 | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
additional information | the naturally occuring pds1-1 allele shows a mutant with reduced enzyme activity and growth defects, isolation of pds1-2 as an intragenic enhancer of pds1-1, the pds1-2 and pds1-3 allele products completely lack PDS activity, pds1-3 is a null allele derived from DNA insertional mutagenesis. The null mutants accumulate only phytoene and no other carotenoids. All three phytoene-accumulating mutants exhibit lower growth rates and reduced plating efficiency compared to wild-type cells and white phytoene synthase mutants.

malfunction | the light-sensitive, phytoene-accumulating mutant, pds1-1, isolated in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is leaky for PDS activity. It shows decreased accumulation of downstream colored carotenoids. The pds1-2 and pds1-3 allele products completely lack PDS activity, the null mutants accumulate only phytoene and no other carotenoids. All three phytoene-accumulating mutants exhibit lower growth rates and reduced plating efficiency compared to wild-type cells and white phytoene synthase mutants | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
metabolism | the enzyme catalyzes the second step in carotenoid biosynthesis, the conversion of phytoene to zeta-carotene | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
