General annotation (Comments)

Function

Has a 11,12(11',12') 9-cis epoxycarotenoid cleavage activity. Catalyzes the first step of abscisic-acid biosynthesis from carotenoids, in response to water stress. Ref.1 Ref.6

Catalytic activity

A 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid + O2 = 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin + a 12'-apo-carotenal.

9-cis-violaxanthin + O2 = 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin + (3S,5R,6S)-5,6-epoxy-3-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-12'-apo-beta-caroten-12'-al.

9'-cis-neoxanthin + O2 = 2-cis,4-trans-xanthoxin + (3S,5R,6R)-5,6-dihydroxy-6,7-didehydro-5,6-dihydro-12'-apo-beta-caroten-12'-al.

Cofactor

Binds 1 Fe2+ ion per subunit By similarity.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by abamine and abamineSG. Ref.7 Ref.8

Subcellular location

Plastidchloroplast stroma. Note: Partially bound to the thylakoid. Ref.5

Tissue specificity

Localized in roots, leaves, stems, empty silique envelopes and seeds. Expressed at the point of organ attachment and the abscission zones in the plant. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.9

Induction

By salt or drought stress and pathogen. Ref.1 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.10

Disruption phenotype

Plants show enhanced germination on salt and hypersensitivity to desication and LiCl. Ref.1

Miscellaneous

Overexpresion of NCED3 results in increased accumulation of abscisic acid and resistance to water stress.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the carotenoid oxygenase family.
