Genet. Genomics 267:593-602(2002). CC -!- FUNCTION: Bifunctional enzyme; part of the car gene cluster that CC mediates the biosynthesis of neurosporaxanthin, a carboxylic CC apocarotenoid acting as an essential protective pigments and leading to CC orange pigmentation (PubMed:12172798). CarAR catalyzes the first step CC of the pathway by converting geranylgeranyl diphosphate to phytoene, as CC well as the later cyclization step that transforms the carB product CC lycopene into gamma-carotene (PubMed:12172798). CarAR also converts CC part of gamma-carotene into beta-carotene (PubMed:12172798). CC Neurosporaxanthin is synthesized from geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate CC (GGPP) through several enzymatic activities. Phytoene synthase activity CC performed by the bifunctional enzyme carAR first produces phytoene from CC geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP). The phytoene dehydrogenase carB CC then introduces 4 desaturations to lead to lycopene which is substrate CC of the carotene cyclase activity of carAR that leads to the production CC of gamma-carotene. CarB then performs a 5th desaturation reaction to CC yield torulene. Torulene is the substrate of the dioxidase carT that CC breaks the molecule, removing five carbon atoms to yield beta-apo-4'- CC carotenal, whereas the aldehyde dehydrogenase carD mediates the last CC step by converting beta-apo-4'-carotenal into neurosporaxanthin CC (Probable). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12172798, ECO:0000305|PubMed:12172798}.
