High impact information on CCD1

MAX3/CCD7 is a carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase required for the synthesis of a novel plant signaling molecule [1].
CCD1 distinguishes itself from other reported CCDs as being the only member not targeted to the plastid [2].
Characterization of three members of the Arabidopsis carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase family demonstrates the divergent roles of this multifunctional enzyme family [2].
The rescue of the Arabidopsis max3 mutant phenotype by the introduction of Pro(35S):HTD1 indicates HTD1 is a carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase that has the same function as MAX3 in synthesis of a carotenoid-derived signal molecule [3].
Nine carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (CCD) genes have been identified in the complete genome sequence [4].

Other interactions of CCD1

Thus, even though CCD1 has similar enzymatic activity to CCD7/MAX3, it does not have a role in synthesis of the lateral shoot growth inhibitor [2].
