Description : (q43415|lcyb_capan : 692.0) Lycopene beta cyclase, chloroplast precursor (EC 1.14.-.-) - Capsicum annuum (Bell pepper) & (at3g10230 : 691.0) Encodes a protein with lycopene β-cyclase activity. This enzyme uses the linear, symmetrical lycopene as substrate. However, unlike the ε-cyclase which adds only one ring, the β-cyclase introduces a ring at both ends of lycopene to form the bicyclic β-carotene.; lycopene cyclase (LYC); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Lycopene beta/epsilon cyclase (InterPro:IPR008671), Lycopene cyclase, beta/epsilon (InterPro:IPR010108); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: Lycopene beta/epsilon cyclase protein (TAIR:AT5G57030.1); Has 1114 Blast hits to 1109 proteins in 188 species: Archae - 1; Bacteria - 220; Metazoa - 0; Fungi - 0; Plants - 356; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 537 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 1382.0) & (original description: no original description)
