FunFam 8156: Zeaxanthin epoxidase family protein

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Zeaxanthin epoxidase. [EC: 1.14.15.21]
Zeaxanthin + 4 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 4 H(+) + 2 O(2) = violaxanthin + 4 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H(2)O.
  • Active under conditions of low light.
  • Along with EC 1.23.5.1, this enzyme forms part of the xanthophyll (or violaxanthin) cycle, which is involved in protecting the plant against damage by excess light.
  • It will also epoxidize lutein in some higher-plant species.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.13.90.
